I hardly ever take readings. I leave it in the fermenter for a couple weeks... til I know fermentation is complete. Only problem is not knowing the abv, but i ain't crazy about all that jazz. You will be fine. Let me know how it turns out.

You could give them to me and I will put beer in them. You don't want to fool with those kegs... trust me!!!!:D

didn't know she

Both good hobbies. I drag race, ride motorcyles and 4-wheelers, fish, hunt/shoot, finishing up my bachelor's and private pilot liscense. I was just selected for a pilot position in the USAF, where I will fly a KC-135R Stratotanker. I am currently an inflight refueler, which is basically a gas...

Star San... good stuff

I was not at home at the time, but my wife was. I was going to have her make a blow off tube for me, but she didn't really want to take it on. I asked her to keep an eye on it and told her if the airlock became clogged to call me so I could help her get it fixed. I got home to fine it was...

Very good input. Thank you all. I wanted to make a starter, but just didn't have the time. I will definitely be doing so from now on. I learn something new about brewing with every batch I do. Two days after I pitched the yeast my airlock got clogged because of the aggressive fermentaion...

I just used yeast that I reharvested. This is the first time I have ever done this. I had two mason jars of yeast, each with about three quarters of an inch of yeat in the bottom of the jar. I decanted half of the liquid, then just swirled the yeast around to re-suspend it in the liquid and...

One is a really nice Gillette Fatboy Adjustable. I love the thing and is in like new condition. The other I am not sure about. It has a handle that is much smaller. I need to research it more.

I had been wanting to get an old school razor for a while. I mentioned it to my grandmother (who is 89 years old) and she said, "Hey! I still have your grandfathers old razor." They had kept them over the years and never thrown them away. She gave me two of them. I love using them, and it...

Thanks for the advice. They are cold as ice in beer fridge out in the garage (have been there for at least 80 days). The floaty stuff looks weird... dusty looking stuff on the inside walls of the bottle and other stuff that looks like yeast clumps suspended in loogies.... I have no other idea...

Been brewing a year now... still consider myself somewhat a newb. I have no idea what is going on with a Northern Brewer Cream Ale I have in the fridge. I let it condition in the bottles and it had larger bubbles and seemed to taste of CO2. I was gone for a short deployment (60 days). I came...

All, I am a long time reader, but this is my first post. I have been home brewing for a year now. I can't get enough... I'm officially hooked. I just ordered ball lock keg system online yesterday, which I cannot wait to get set up when I get home. I am also in the process (or was...
