Ok, so I am like halfway thru my first brew ever. Seems to be going as planned. (I need a bigger kitchen and sink!)
So I sanitized my secondary with Star San, and got lots O' Foam and could not get it out for the life of me, so I racked it anyway. Pushed most of the foam out but is it OK that some was left behind?
And also how the hell do you get the plug and bubbler to stay in the carboy?!?! It kept wanting to ease its way up, I had to tape the bugger down. I guess maybe cuz I soaked them in Star San before putting them in?
It is now under my table with a black T shirt on for another 2 weeks. Then I gotta start getting bottles in order.
I used a auto siphon to transfer the beer, it worked pretty good and was easy!
Pics and thanks for the continuing help everyone!
Suds OK?
I've noticed that fermenting beer is YUCKY looking. The crud in my bucket was dag nasty!
Ghetto riggin'
