I put mine in a cooler with a seed germination mat( like$20 on amazon). I have one of those wireless thermometers that reads inside and outside temp. I put the outside temp transmitter in the cooler. And keep it in my basement. I keep the other end of therm on my kitchen counter so I know the...

Same as Garagedweller. I usually go with a live show. Last brew day was Garcia plays Dylan

I swear I looked first. So I'm doing a brown ale 1 gallon extract kit in a one gallon wine jug. Airlock only bubbled for a few days, that doesn't worry me. After the second week the airlock fell flat. The little cap inside is not being held up by co2. Does this mean air is getting into my beer...

Thank you all for your responses. Ya basically I was thinking of converting a fridge/freezer into two refrigerators

Glad I signed up too... I'm in

I use a bottling bucket with filling wand. Bucket on counter. I put all empty bottles in milk crates and fill them right in the crate, while sitting on an empty crate. When all bottles are full I bring one crate at a time up to counter for capping.

Two weeks in a cooler around 80* swirling twice a week worked amazing. Fully carbonated after 2 weeks. Taste great, really starting to mellow

I've been looking around I can't find exactly what I'm looking for so I figd I'd ask . I want to take a refrigerator with a top freezer and make it into two refrigerators. I don't think I can use a plug in temp control because it would kill power to refrigerator too. I want to use fridge part...

Are draw string grain bags meant to be reused? I was ordering a kit from more beer.com they don't come with grain bags. The bags they sell are $5. It doesn't say if its more then one bag. Why are some grain bags so expensive, can you reuse them? I would think it would make more sense to buy some...

I have a mix of 22 and grolch swing tops. My favorite liquor store had a whole shelf a grolch bottles that looked like they had been there for years ((covered in dust) they were marked at .50 . I bought all they had, since it was much cheaper then I'd seen online . I went back today and they...

Thank you for your responses. I just sent monster brew a email explaining how frustrated and disappointed I am, hopefully they will make it up to me. I'm sure they realize how hard it is for a first time brewer to not touch his beer for over a month , only to realize I didn't sanitize anything...

8% it's an oak imperial stout. I was hoping to be able to age them for a long time. Guess ill have to drink them as soon as they carb . Not a bad prob to have .. Thank you

So I just bottled my first 5 gallon batch on wed. I was organizing all my brew equipment when I noticed I used B brite not c-brite . Is this a problem, ??I just cleaned but didn't sanitize right?? The equipment kit was suppose to include C-brite, I didn't look closely at label

Ok.. So I managed to let it sit in primary bucket for 22 days. Today I opened it to take a gravity reading/ taste. I was a little nervous , but it looked right, it smelled right. And it taste pretty damn good.... A little bitter. FG was 1.018. kit says it should be 1.020-1.024. I want to bottle...
