Thanks for your response. I don’t have a basement and my house temp is about 75 degrees all the time except summer. How does everyone else ferment their beer at room temp? I can’t be the only person who’s room temp is 75 can I? What is an ideal fermentation temp? I gave it a swirl or two last...

I put it in a potentially cooler room. Anything else I can do or just wait it out?

I bought my first kit recently and am worried I've done something wrong. It was the irish red ale form Midwest. Today is day 9 in the bucket and the OG when i pitched the yeast was 1.04, today it is 1.02. I realize it may need more time but it has not bubbled the airlock since day 2. Should I be...

You can't bottle while still hot, can you?

I am going to bottle this week and skip the secondary. That said, I would still be interested in owning one. Will you have one to sell soon?

I would like to know this too. Midwest kits range from 25-40 and seem reasonable. Are there better prices to be had?

Thanks guys. Very helpful! One more question, After pulling them from the sanitize soak (I bought "star san") can you fill them while a little wet or do they need to be completely dry? I was thinking i'd let them dry in the dishwasher if necessary.

Great suggestion! I knew someone would have an idea. The reason I need one is because my buddy gave me a bunch of bottles that he had ready for recycling. Been sitting there for weeks or months likely with a little beer left in the bottom. I want to make sure there is no residue.

So I got a kit and am ready to bottle tomorrow or Tuesday. The kit didn't come with a bottle brush. Anyone know if there is something at Wally World or Home Depot that will do? I don't have a supply store locally and only shipping will take too long! Ideas?

Great, thanks! I have had my first brew in the primary for 5 days now. I guess if i don't find one, i'll just keep it there another week. I have heard this is OK, just not optimal!

I'm in need of a glass carboy and shipping one seems to be mighty expensive. Anyone have one locally they are selling?

I am in Jacksonville and looking for a carboy. Still for sale?
