I brewed my first batch a week and a half ago and broke a hydrometer. Tonight I brewed my 2nd batch and broke another hydrometer. This time before I was able to take an OG reading. Grrr! Tonight I brewed Midwest's Autumn Amber Ale. I don't have a wort chiller and it took around 40 minutes to cool it down in an ice bath. I would get a wort chiller but my kitchen faucet doesn't have any threads.
Also, I bought a strainer that you put on the bucket fermenter when you pour the wort in. It works fine for the first couple of gallons. Then it gets clogged up and doesn't let much liquid pass. I'm about ready to throw it away.
Cheers!
