Yea it is, it was brand new with the kit, but obviously this kit blows! Thanks everyone for the help, onto the next one.

Yea it was just tap water, i also thought it was weird but thats what the directions said.

I just took a sample and it pretty much taste like watered down Budweiser. Not sweet at all. Im guessing its screwed.

Yea i know, the instructions were terrible and i was winging it the whole time, i knew something was off when i tried mashing out to 170 and it was really freaking hot and i could barely get it up to that so i just stopped and strained it.

Hello, another newbie post, I've been reading a lot on here and can't seem to find my specific problem of how my beer looks. It's been a week fermenting and half of the carboy has a thick layer of what I suppose is sediment. I haven't seen a krausen layer but there are bubbles in my airlock and...
