uh, I made a Bavarian wheat with a ridiculous amount of IBU's.

Do I need a camp site if I pass out next to the dumpster?

As long as you have about ~20% or more head space, You can run with an airlock. You don't want to suck mold spores into your fermenter, if you can help it. So I have read.

Yes, you make a good point. I'm still new to this. I can think about the times I have used a tap from the liquor store. If I didn't have it wide open, there would be foam. Maybe a restriction issue?

try some Teflon tape with every fitting. sounds like a vacuum leak..

not sure of the ratings, but you want to connect the capacitor to the pump in series (before the pump).

Did you take OG and FG readings? Maybe the yeast gave up on life..

I think I can help rid of the evidence. :tank:

Discounts for HBT members would be nice. hint hint ;)

I buy spring water for $1 a gal at the dollar store.

Yes, I have been having dreams about my fermenting beer, wth.

Finally racked my first beers! It was a long two weeks. Yes, with Mr Beer. I had about 6oz left and used that for my tasting. Aroma kinda sucks, almost smells of an apple. The colour, a golden, light orange with hints of red. To my surprise though, the taste was borderline good. Semi-sweet...

Hey Everyone, I have an electric (glass) stovetop and it takes forever to get 3gal of water to a boil. I feel like if I go the boilcoil route, I will save alot of time and money (electric bill). About how long does it normally take to get to a full boil using these?

I vote mold.

I don't think anyone has gone to the hospital after handling plastic buckets / carboys.
