Awesome. Thank you guys for the help!

I brewed my first Tripel about a week ago, and it seems to have finished up primary (OG 1.071/ right now its 1.009). I plan on leaving it in primary another week for 2 weeks total, and I was going to rack to secondary for 2 weeks, and then bottle with hopes to being able to at least try one or...

Sorry for the sloppy post. Trying to do this from my phone

So I have this mini fridge that I've been using as a kegerator. I decided to cut the plastic off of the door to make room to use it for fermentation as well. When I plugged it in, I noticed these gaps in the door gasket. I did keep the plastic rim that fits inside the gasket in tact to try to...

I just meant that I need to see if these beds get the proper amount of sunlight. I am growing cascade, which apparently can grow and do quite well in this area.

Provided that these beds get enough sunlight and that I build a support for them, will these beds be good for growing hops? I have 2 "jumbo" rhizomes and 6 small rhizomes. http://i.imgur.com/oAyiLPQ.jpg

Brewed a SMASH on Sunday(2/10) and I have had good airlock activity since late sunday night until today (Wednesday 2/13), but the krausen seems to have a somewhat "crusty" layer on top. Is this an issue? I used US-05

I just got an auto siphon, but it was previously used for wine. will this lead to off flavors if its clean?

Thanks for all the input

I was going put them in for the sanitation cycle before bottling. They were rinsed out after being drank port of, so they aren't that dirty. Just trying to cover all my bases

I'm getting ready to rack my first all grain batch, and I'm getting a head start on prepping my bottles. Is out good practice to wash the bottles in the dishwasher a few weeks in advanced? I want sure if the detergent would have a negative effect on the beer.

Hey man. I'm also just beginning my home brew journey and I'm just over here in Rome. So if you are ever swinging through, let me know
