Can't wait

Good Luck!

I've heard both sides I was wondering if I could bottle my brew into growlers? some say it's too much carbonation??

Thanks to all of you for your response! It's Northern Brewers kit Lakefront Brewery fixed gear amber ale! It looks like it's gonna be great if it all works out!

This is my second batch of brew. It has a large head in the carboy and is trying to escape!! I took the airlock off and put a blow off tube in place is this normal or what should I be doing? Is this good/bad or normal??

I'm making a Pale ale. seirra Madre from NB. Fermentation stopped before I transfered.

I just transferred my brew to a 2nd carboy for another 3-4 weeks should I see bubbles in my airlock like I did in the primary(active) stage of fermentation??

This is kind of a dumb question but I'm still a newbie too all of this! Can I reuse any bottles to bottle my home brew in? of course taking them through cleaning and sanitizing! like a used new Fat Tire bottle? Any cleaner that works good to get the labels off?

Thanks a lot Gduck I will look into this....I figured there had to be a way!

I have and old fridge that works is there any way I could convert that into a fermentation chamber? I cant have it on because that gets too cold any ideas I would love it??

Well I brewed my first batch last night I hope it turns out good? I hope I did it all right?? I have Sierra Madre in my primary fermentor!! I should see fermenting begin 24-48 hours right? and then start to see bubbling in my airlock? All things said I think it went well.....took me...

Looks like awesome stuff Good Luck!!
