Ok, I bottled yesterday and got 87 bottles out of approx. 9 gal. I tasted the beer that was in the very bottom of the bottling bucket. It tasted really green and sorta like Clan McGregor irish wiskey :confused: . I'm not sure if its going to turn out but I'm going to keep it in my closet...

Ok, my cincinatti pale ale has been in the 2ndary for ten days now. I'm wondering what I need to do to ensure a good fermintation. I've got some priming sugar redy, but I'm not sure if the yeasts are still active. Do I need to pitch anymore yeast or will they be ok.

Well, the batch that I brewed on saturday is still in the primary and the airlock is showing slow but steady activity. Tomorrow will be the fifth day and it looks like I'll be syphoning it into a 2ndary fermentor to buy some time to obtain bottles and such. I found some cheap ale, Pete's...

I just wanted to let you all know that I syphoned my first batch into the secondary fermentor (5gal plastic) yesterday afternoon. That was the biggest mess I've made so far. I'm deffinately investing in an auto-syphon and a racking cane before I get a glass carboy or two. I didn't have a...

Well, I'm not planning on bottling atleast until Aug 27th. Maybe even later than that depending on how badly I want to try the brew and how busy I am with school. Though, can someone tell me how to syphon without disturbing the trub? I was planning on sitting my fermentor on the kitchen...

This is all very helpful information. And as soon as I get my check cut from the school I'll make an investment in a couple of glass carboys. However I do have a batch of Cincinnati Pale Ale that has been in the primary for 5 days. I'm thinking of racking it to a plastic bucket. Should I...

I think I understand what you're saying and it might help me. I've been thinking about ways to make a bottling bucket or just use a 5 gal cooler with a spigot but if its better to just bottle from the secondary with a syphon after the priming solution is gently stirred in, then my problems are...

Ok, Well that's not going to be a problem, I'm sure I can find that many bottles and my friend has a capper and caps, but where should you store that many bottles? I was planning on finding four or five of those bud light cases of 20 and just putting the bottles in them and stacking them up...

Thanks alot for the replys that I got from everyone. I go to school at Westminster College in Fulton Mo. I'm a senior this year, and I'm no longer living in the frat house. So I probably won't have to fight the guys off when it comes to the homebrew. As far as the sororiety girls go...

Hey Y'all, I'm new to this board. I just began brewing my first batch of home brew last thursday. I became interested in home brewing when I tried a homebrew that one of my frat buddies brewed this spring. Then about three weeks ago, the culligan man accidentally left two 5 gal. carboys...
