It is thanks! My yeast cake did not look like some huge hard solid mass like those pics above, but maybe what I was seeing getting kicked up was the protein.

Hrmmm.. Neat, so I don't get how it works, its just a bent tube with a small opening? How is it not sucking up the muck?

Hey all, Bottled my first brew yesterday. It smelled amazing, tasted good, everything went really well. But, I have a question, how do you get the last 1.5 or so gallons out of the bucket / carboy (no secondary) to your bottling bucket with out sucking up the yeast and hops? I feel like I...

hahaha

Yes, I'm sure thats true along with my other hobbies... I opted to not go to secondary because I just didnt have the time to swap over to the carboy, so I'm letting this guy sit for 4 weeks and going to toss the hops in tonight or tomorrow and let it sit another week. Then bottle it up and let...

Thanks.. whats great is, I know exactly how long my beers been in the bucket.. Kind of hard to forget that day.

Not only did I brew my first batch of brew that that... That night my baby (our first) decided to come out a few weeks early :)

I want in :)

No im not getting it now, just thought of it when I was preparing to brew before... Ohh by gas I meant my propane tank.

Good deal... Thank you

Hi All, First off I am going to attempt to brew my first batch today of beer. The wife got me a kit for xmas from Northern Brewer and I've been adding onto it since then. I have a three hearted ale I ordered a few months back that I am going to do. Anyways, wish me luck :) But I do have...

Kind of confused why you would return (and I assume pay to return) a perfectly good kit. I got one for xmas, I am just going to build upon what the kit gave me.

Actually stupid me, it was just the hydrometer that was broken not the thermometer... It looked like two different items that broke. Regardless, looking forward to brewing!!! Has anyone ever had an issue with midwest and shipping the wrong items or broken items?

Opened presents last night, the wife got me the Brewing Starter Kit from midwest. Only problem is the Hydrometer and Thermometer were broken in the box, and they did not send the carboy and carboy cleaner thing :(. I emailed them today, so hopefully I'll hear back over the next few days and...

Nice write-up on your blog!

I watched that last episode... Good stuff, nice job. BTW where are you filming from with those huge fermentors behind you.

Bottle or Keg? - Bottle Recipe? - Was just using this extract kit as an example - > http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/baltic-porter-extract-kit-2.html But what I was confused about, is if it states 2 months to condition in the secondary. Would that step be skipped by leaving it in the...

After reading, it seems many skip secondary, however what if it says 6 weeks + time? For example, checking out some of the extract kits on NB, if they say "Allow the beer to condition in the secondary fermenter for 2 months beforeproceeding with the next step. Timing now is somewhat...

Hahah... Looks like that might be the case. I am amazing at the DIY section of the site, I was reading through that for hours last night!

So confused :)
