    Thanks, for some reason I wasn't getting it until I read this

    First Brew

    Well turns out it came out OK. It's drinkable, albeit with a fairly astringent aftertaste (no surprise there) but not bad at all. One of my friends was pretty stoked on it. I guess it goes to show you to stick it out and see what happens. I would have never waited though and would have probably...

    Aluminum Kegs?

    Thanks everyone. Now onto deciding whether to send them out to be plasma cut, or buy an angle grinder and it do it myself so I can polish after, or buy a crap load of disks and roll the dice with the dremel. I am leaning towards the angle grinder so I can polish them..I saw a cheap one for sale...

    Aluminum Kegs?

    I know this has been talked about at great lengths, and I spend a fair amount of time reading a lot of the threads last night - but I still am not really sure if my kegs are stainless or aluminum. I bought two anheuser busch kegs yesterday off some guy on craigslist for $40 (for both). He was...

    First Brew

    First Brew

    So I checked on it today and the krausen had settled a lot and I took a sample to measure. SG was at 1.016 (at 68˚F) - the OG was 1.060 at unknown temperature (I forgot to check). I racked to my secondary in a 5 gallon carboy. There is a fair amount of headspace - more than I expected...

    First Brew

    Or should I just wait until primary fermentation is over and rack into my 5 gallon carboy and do a secondary fermentation?

    First Brew

    I have a 6 gallon carboy...I don't know why I didn't just throw everything in there instead last night. Would it be too late to rack everything into there?

    First Brew

    First off, I want to thank everyone on here for the vast amount of knowledge that is shared. I got a brewing kit (this one) as a gift and since then I have been reading and researching as much as I can on here. Two-days ago I made my yeast starter. I didn't have any extra DME except for what...
