great, thanks!

I have pink chlorinated cleaner , would that be the same thing?

They are brand new (my first batch) but I had rinsed them out with water a few hours ago and wanted to bottle them tonight.

Will it hurt it in the long run?

You made my day. I thought the air made it flat in the secondary :ban: I saw little dextrose 'tablets', what is the best bulk priming method in your opinions?

^ ah, gotcha. Sweet - I hope it is still good!

no holes in it though? Does it need room to breathe? I had it removed because I thought the gas would leak out past the water ... it's the red cap in the photo. (quick background - I've already let it sit in primary for a week and moved it to secondary last night). Is the beer gonna be flat...

Once I put the water in the airlock, do I put the cap back on the airlock? I didn't put it back on and it's been about 24 hours - is this bad? THe water moved a bit at first when I was moving the secondary back to it's spot after the transfer, but it's pretty even flat (the water in airlock)...

Bravo - I just started my very fist brew 4 days ago and I'm telling you it may not be the preferred method by most, but it's certainly one of thie easiest....."Fest Brew" wort. It's a Canadian (Ontario) brand, so if you are in the states or elsewhere you would need to find a comparable brand. I...

Did you see the pic though? What are all the little flakes? (p.s - FG)? TIA

Ok - totally paranoid. (see photo) When I checked today, it looked like there was flakes of yeast sitting on top of the liquid? I took a reading and it says it's at 1.01, is that odd for day 3? I may have left something crucial out. I think I may have messed up the yeast rehydration...

Good stuff - thanks. :mug: Awesome site BTW. I just wanted to make sure that if I was doing something wrong I could try and correct it prior to waiting too long. Thanks again.

Hi, I am brand new to brewing and decided to try the Festa Brew kit (23 L wort bag). I started it SUnday Night around 7 pm , when I checked it yeterday there was a big foam on top. From what I understand, this is good and normal. However, when I checked it today (about 48 hour later from...
