All, Thank you for the advice. Sonvolt, I am pretty sure that it is not finished yet. I am only a day into the primary fermentation. I will check for gas when I get home this evening. Cheers

So I am brewing myself a clone of Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard and had a little problem in my fermentation process. I capped off my fermenter the other day and inserted my airlock (just the same as I have done it times before). Apparently while fermenting they head had blocked up my...

Thank you for the info. In general, is there much difference between the taste of natural vs. force carb? I am currently drinking my second batch of home brew but have only kegged. Never bottled. I have read all the horror stroies and went straight to kegging. However, I need to...

Greetings, I had a follow on question to this. I want to bottle and keg the same batch. Can I prime the entire batch, bottle what I want, and then keg the rest to be force carbonated? Should I split the batch? If splitting, I assume that I would only use half the "recommended" amount of...

I have a question that I think has been posted before but I could not find it. First off, thanks for all the advice with brewing. I have polished off my first batch of a St Arnolds Amber clone. I have gone ahead with the kegging system so everything has been pretty easy. I now want to...

Big 10 Alumn and currently living in Tx. I took UNC over Kansas in the final. I welcome all jabs.

Jen-Kristian, Thank you for the words of encouragement. I will defiantly keep the brew and report back on my first batch. Recent inspection of the airlock did show some activity. However, it is slow. I was simply concerned that I had destroyed the fermentation process upon the initial...

Autoferret. Thanks for the info. Should I continue on with this bacth, let ferment for 1~2 weeks? Will it be nasty?

Greetings all. I have recently begun my first home brew batch. I am brewing amber ale and using a duel stage fermenter. I have recently transferred my batch from the first stage to the second after 4 days of fermenting. This was per the directions of the local home brew store. Now that the...
