Alright, thanks for the responses. I'll give it its two weeks anyhow, just wondering if this was usual or whatever. And btw, I only watch the airlock for bubbles as signs of fermentation in odd situations. In no way do I rely on it. My hydrometer is my friend...

So, my now bottle-conditioning brew took like 3 days to even start fermenting. No big, was expecting that. However, the brew I JUST made on Thursday started crazy fermenting 12 hours in, stayed crazy fermenting for about 3 days, and now its not bubbling AT ALL. I'm not really panicking, I...

Aaaw! I knew it! I figured you guys were just using different words for the same thing. Bottling would truly stink without such a device, so I kinda figured it was my err. Also, while I didn't read all 14 pages, I did read at least 2/3rds of them (And I plan of reading the rest at some point...

Wow, thanks guys. eschatz, that looks awesome, and I'll definitely be turning to it from now on. See you guys 'round the forums!

I'm pretty sure the kits coming from this site are partial mashed. For instance, this is lined up to be our next brew: Brewnett Brown It comes with grains and malted barley as well as hops and other seemingly important ingredients.... I'm just wondering if these are anywhere near as...

Hello all! I'm a brewer in northern NJ about 20 min from NYC. My brother and I got into the whole thing when he recieved a kit from his (now ex)girlfriend she bought at Homebrew Heaven that included a bucket, carboy, hydrometer, thermometer and hoses and airlocks and a bunch of useful stuff...
