Good info. Yeah, the stuff I have is a powder not liquid. Idk if that means anything or not. As for the bottles- I already checked on Craigslist and there's nothing related at the moment. I found 1 homebrew club I'm gonna check out but they won't meet for another month

I think I'll be getting starsan. But the equipment kit (Brewers Best) came with a "no- rinse cleaner" I think may be the same thing. It doesn't say anything about sanitizing and I haven't checked yet what exactly it is made of. So, I'm considering that as just a cleaner and planning on getting...

It's an electric stove. And I know I could use it, but it's Teflon coated and I don't allow Teflon to contact my food. Idon't want to debate about it, it's a personal choice. It's used for food that is inside glass jars, and honestly not very often even at that. I need a new one.

No idea how they arrived at the number. They were commercial products and that's what the can said.

I've seen a couple beers at around 110 IBU. I don't really know what that implies. But there must be a way to pass 100

Good to know. Glad I don't have an ipa in mind. I hadn't given much thought to the bottling actually. I noticed it called for batch priming but that's about it. Yeah, not the grainfather. I looked and that's $900. That's just the brand with the catchiest name. I'm definitely not a spare no...

That sounds reasonable. As far as water goes, it's gonna be from jugs. My municipal water supply tests ~400ppm. I think it was 450. Off the scales hard water around here. Do it in stages; sounds good. Thanks

I still haven't got started yet. I went to bust it out last night and the instruction says I need a 4 gallon pot. Well my pot is only 7 qts. I thought it was more. I have a 22 qt, but it's Teflon lined and only used for canning. I now don't know what to do. I could buy a bigger stockpot, but I...

Went and checked the package, it says best by July 2023 on the lme. I assume that is good? I Also noticed that the boxes say the company is located just a couple hours northeast from me. Cool. Accidentally local.

Is it really that easy? I guess it shouldn't be complicated, I don't know why I'm trying to make it hard. I guess just because I'm not sure what growing yeast will look like. Surely I will have much more perspective in a few weeks. Thank you. It may or may not last long. Depends on how well my...

Thanks for the input. I guess you're right, I should just follow the instructions. I intend to culture the yeast. Eventually. On petri dishes like a mushroom. But I should save that for later. Idk about the malt, I didn't check. The box says it was packed last month. I didn't think before about...

Thank you. As of now, I have it all together. But that's because I don't know enough yet to know what I don't know. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions when it is time to start doing it. Although it seems like I started with a pretty simple kit. Add everything to hot water, pitch yeast...

I've considered homebrewing for several years now. It sounds like a fun little hobby, and theoretically should save some money after a couple batches. Then yesterday, I took too many puffs off of my medical Marijuana vaporizer. I ended up at my homebrew store drinking mead with the shopkeeper...
