Why was that so much fun? Everything went as planned (i think) except when we boiled the 2.5 gallons to make the wort and dumped it in the primary bucket, we didn't know how much to add to make it "5.25 gallons" like it said in the directions. We just kinda winged it to make it closer to 5.5+ gallons. I hope we didn't screw that part up. I sanitized an old milk jug for my measurements, but was't sure hoe much evaporated. It's a Fat Tire extract kit w/specialty grains. I was thinking about leaving it in the primary for 2 weeks, then transferring it to the secondary for a week, then bottling it and letting it sit for 3 weeks. Does this sound ok? All the directions say is that it takes 6 weeks. I wish I could have it 5 weeks bc we're having a party then, but don't want to drink it too early. Anyway, that was a lot of fun, but this is going to be a long 6 weeks.
