EbAY period.........best prices more selection

depending on your org gravity I would say you have made a watered down brew for sure are you into light beers?

If you think you had problems with this brew you will be way in over your head with all grain brewing better stick with extract for a little while just hone you skills more you have to walk before you run...

I never see anything going on in the bottles no bubbles or anything they always carb up so dont worry just keep them around 70deg.

I start out with 6 1/2 gal and end up with just over 5 gal that gives me 5 gal when I rack to secondary. hope this helps

Boil a half gallon of water and cool it and add to the fermenter you wont water it down any your just going to put the org gravity where its suposed to be

[I]ve brewed 5 batches pale ales. amber ales. and irish red all with diffrent amount of hops but they all tast pretty much the same also I was hopeing for more diff flavor from each Im not tasting any twang its just that their all pretty much the same.

Look on ebay I got a 40 qt pot with encapsuled bottom s/s brand new for 40 bucks. If you buy a thin bottom pot youll be sorry starting from the first brew

I would never drink that brew you want to get sick? mold is bacteria its not worth risking besides it will be in the back of your head whats in the bottle everytime you crack one open.

If its too strong for you pack it up and send it to me ill 'dispose'' of it.

If you fermented at 60 then it will carb at 60 may take a couple extra weeks past the 3 week norm

Don't drink and drive but..........do drink and brew!

Go with somthing that will be ready sooner than later if your like I was you wont want to wait any longer than possible for your first couple brews
