Count me in please!

Ya, we bought their starter kit originally. Still use almost everything! I think we spent almost $60 on the kit and then had to buy ingredients.

There is a groupon on a starter kit and ingredients...

We take all our "left overs" and stick them in bags and put them in the freezer. I would make a list of what stuff you have left over or you will forget what is in there. ;)

That valve will allow you to use one PSI for both kegs. I bought a dual regulator and a T. So I can run 2 kegs at one PSI and the other at another (thought I may want to get into pressure fermenting at some point).

Thanks.

There ya have it! :) I only secondary when I dryhop. Not to threadjack, but Revvy, most of our recipes call for dryhopping in a secondary. Does it make any difference besides clearing the beer up?

Some times you want to secondary to help clear up the beer but as you say, it is never really necessary unless you want to dry hop or yeast harvest.

The Krausen is fine. All it is, is yeast essentially. Next time, you will want to wait 3 weeks before transferring it to secondary and ALWAYS take a FG reading. This will tell you a lot about how your brew went and also if it is finished fermenting. The reason for 3 weeks is that the yeast...

Good Luck!

Looks delicious! We are brewing an IPA in a week or two. Might try it then!

Prob wouldn't worry about it but if you wanted to, you could boil some water and add the spices into that and pour that mixture in.

^^ and I as well.

Idk but I would check your LHBS. Mine has TONS of stoppers.

I would try putting some damp rid in there to keep the moisture low. I don't ferment in my fridge but I agree with you that it is caused by the extra moisture and warmer than fridge temp.
