Thanks again guys . Fingers crossed I somehow pull this off. I’m attaching some pics . One is of the brewing bucket after I siphoned the wort to secondary. Ond is the carboy as it sits now and the other is the pic of the instructions I got with the kit. Last one is the air bubbles in the airlock...

I thought when posting I did as the lid on the bucket wasn’t water tight . I’ll post pics later of the instructions when I get home. If I’m right do you think I should make an issue with the store ? I know the wort was $65. That’s what’s kinda pissing me off too.

Hey good to meet ya mr hops lol. No. It made no mention of boiling anything . Just said to put it in the fermenting bucket & proceed . It was an oatmeal stout. Not sure if that makes a difference. And no a ruined brew here won’t deter me lol . I’ll be back

That’s my whole issue ... the lid wasn’t air tight at all . Which makes me think it’s just a mixing bucket . I’ll try attach a pic.

Thanks bud . I’ve been reading the secondary is not necessary. That pic is a few days old . Think it’s been in secondary about a week. Little bit of foam appearing but not much. Plus I feel like I’ve filled the carboy too high. Any opinions on this ? I’m not seeing much activity but the airflow...

Hi guys first time brewer here. So I got a kit as a present for my bday in October but only got round to brewing a couple of weeks ago. So the kit came with a liquid wort that you just add yeast to. Sounds simple I thought . But I’m thinking the kit cans with missing stuff and I think I’ve made...
