Thanks Ogri and Berebrando! That helps A LOT.... I'll remember to take the OG and the FG on the next batch. I'll definitely read the links provided and finish the current homebrewing book I've started. I did taste a sample and it actually tasted OK...an American Light kit. I guess I'll wait...

I think I understand. I believe that the 1.000 (0%) reading I did 7 days later means my batch has fermented out completely...correct? My big mistake is that because of my excitement with my first batch and all, I completely forgot to take an starting gravity. Without the starting gravity to...

Ok I'm a bit worried and confused. :confused: While transferring beer to the secondary fermentor I got a gravity reading just to see where it was at. Well, I was suprised to see that it was at 0% alcohol according the the hydrometer. While in the primary fermentor, it initially bubbled for a...

I'll definitely look into this as it might be worth my time considering my location. Update: So I decided to let the ferment continue in the warm weather. The primary bubbled for about 24 hours and completely stopped after that. I though it would lasted more than 24 hours, but the...

Thanks! I'll definitely see it through. Yes, it is my FIRST BATCH EVER and I do consider it kinda special...even if it doesn't turn out :) Thanks everyone! Haggendas

Thank you everyone for all your educational feedback! :) I appreciate it a lot! Well, here's a quick question based on my observation. Prior to posting my question yesterday the it was bubbling pretty fast, but after I got home from work yesterday to place it in a cooler I notice that it had...

Thanks BG. I'll move the fermenter into a cooler when I get home and fill with cold/ice water. I am curious, if I do ferment in 82-84 F would it be possible to prevent the off flavoring and fusels by bottling and refrigerating the beer sooner rather than letting it ferment completely in the...

Forgive me.... I am EXTREMELY NEW to home brewing did my FIRST batch with a kit last night. I did a 5 gal. batch of American Light last night as it looked like the simplest of the kits that I currently have. This morning the primary fermenter was bubbling at about 1-2 bubbles per second so I...

If you guys or other members are ever in town let me know. :)

Hello everyone. I enjoy a good beer, but having moved to the island I found it difficult (and expensive) to find the beers I like. I figured I'd start making some internet purchases and learn to brew at home. I look forward to learning as much as I can from this site and from its members!
