Very nice! Count me in!

Nice! Count me in.

I didn't even notice. Been brewing 2 years now and I just remembered I have brewing noon in my Sig.

In! With all that stuff I gotta win something!

First there is no reason to check it "frequently". Just let your beer sit in primary 3 weeks (my preference) then check it. Wait 3 days and check again. If they are the same (temp corrected) its good to bottle/keg. Big beers can take longer and also take longer to carb. Dont worry about...

I normally go about 3-4 weeks in primary before bottling but due to life getting in the way my German Alt went 8 weeks and turned out fantastic. Today I finally bottled a NB Winter Warmer I brewed on 12-4-13 (10 weeks ago). The warm flat beer tasted very good and I will test a few in 3 weeks or...

Try one of these for rinsing your bottles with hot water. Bottle Washer

How long would they be stored in there? How much headspace? You will want to keep headspace to a minimum since there will most likely not be a CO2 layer to protect it. A carboy would probably be better for long term unless you can inject some CO2 in your bucket/tub. I have left beer in my...

No you are weird, but then so are the rest of us :rockin:

primary fermentation is probably done already. the bubbles you see are from pressure change as it warms up. Just let beer sit in the primary so the yeasties can clean up and settle out. I usually leave mine in primary for 3-4 weeks unless it needs aging or life gets in the way.

You will be surprized how LONG those weeks will be while you wait! :mug:

The longer the beer is in primary the firmer the yeast cake will compact making it easier to rake to bottling bucket without transferring the "sludge". I have not used a secondary and I usually go 3-4 weeks in primary unless life gets in the way..... I gotta get that batch bottled I brewed on...

It only needs a minute to treat with campden. I use it for all brewing water including my starters. Water does not have to be warned up.

Looks normal

I have done the 2.5 gallon boil and full boil... you need to recalculate your hops if you do a full boil or your beer will not be balanced due to better hop utilization with the larger water amount. look up late extract addition for your partial boil extract recipes. Campden tablets will get...

If you have a 10 gallon pot then why split a 5 gallon patch? To avoid caramelizing your extract try late or flame out extract additions and make sure flame is off for any extract addition. Also a full boil will change the hop profile since you get better hop utilization with more liquid. Use a...

I suggested the airlock just to fill the hole in the lid. You probably already have the lid and airlock ready to use anyway. Sanitized foil over it will work fine also.

Just make sure your yeast is covered and it will be fine. Same with your wort just put the lid and airlock on while it is waiting to pitch. As long as nasties can't get into it you are good for a few hours at least. I had to leave wort for 9 hours because it was still to warm to pitch and I had...

Married 19 years in Feb and we also still have the wine glasses we got then and the full set of china handed down to us. Daily plates and glasses are a whole different story. As for your last comment some people need plastic everything, rubber sinks, no stairs in their homes and never allowed...
