Thanks Yooper - It has recently got warmer in our apartment.

But, why would it take 3 or 4 months for this to happen? Is it ok to drink? I must have thrown out the paper once it was bottled and don't have the SG reading, but I'm an amateur at this and wouldn't have bottled until I had the necessary reading. That doesn't rule out a mistake on the...

A made cider from a kit a few months ago. The cider is NOT carbonated. However, today I open one that was under pressure and was very fizzy. When I looked at the remain few bottles, most have at least some extra pressure and one had so much pressure that the plastic bottle was distorted and...

Ok - (OG - FG) X 131 = (1.060-1.012) X 131 = 6.288% Then I added about a gallon of water - so probably a bit over 4%. I'm OK with that.

Yes Nanik, I transfered to the carboy from a bucket. I waited until after the foam subsided, about 3 days before the transfer. I don't think I need a blowoff tube anymore, as there was essentially no foam after the transfer. I have an airlock with rubber stopper on top and it is half filled...

Wow, that was quick. Thanks guys. Now I know for next time. By the way, I used a "Brew House" kit. It doesn't say or even give a range of the expected alcohol content. What should I expect (That is, before I watered it down)?

First time brewing. I transfered the beer to the carboy a couple of days ago. I showed the pic that you see here to a coworker and he told me that there should be very litter air in the carboy and that I should boil some water and fill it up the rest of the way. I did that and now I wonder if...

Thanks guys! Since I live in an apartment and don't have a basement or garage to do this in, I think I will get a blowoff tube for next time. It might keep my spare bedroom cleaner.

First time here, so I may be asking a lot of questions. I purchased a Brew House beer kit and got started. After about 20 hours in the primary, I had foam that reached the cover and then dripped off the edges of the cover. The container is 46 liters and was about half full of liquid. I do...

Hi all. I am originally from Wisconsin, but moved to SK several months ago. Since alcohol is very expensive here, I have decided to brew my one. I have purchased a kit and am starting to accumulate my beer making paraphernalia and look up info . . . and I ended up here. See ya around TMR
