I been reading these forums for quite a while and I been researching the best way of starting out. I went out to a local homebrew shop and bought a kit that had a fermenter and a priming container included. Stopped at Lowes on the way back and bought copper wire, fittings, and hose to make the wort chiller, then I constructed it and sanitized everything. I started on my first brew which is a seasonal summer ale. Now everything went fine and its been about 3 hours and i do not see any bubbles yet.
Few questions// rants.
The gasket that goes on the outside of the primer container that connects to the dispensing valve leaks and the only reason I know this is because I tested it with water. Do any of you guys that have been doing this for awhile have this problem and if you do what did you use to fix it? Im thinking I will just go pick up some plumbing sealer and put it around the gasket.
The next thing is taking samples.
-I used a sanitized cup to take the samples and put it in the hydrometer tube holder. There has to be an easier way... what do you recommend?
Thanks.
