And i can see this 'hobby' will consume me...lol I already bought lumber to work on a 'brew room' in the basement, and will be working on it in the am...

yes Gila, I for some reason got confused and thought as it added more alcohol, it should float higher in the tube

o0k khannon, thanks I dont know what my SG/OG was, as I thought I had a hydrometer with the starters kit my wife got me, but it did not. SO I can only guess that it will be close to what it says it shoudl be.

well, the wine does read exactly 1 The 2 juices i put it ther emeasured much higher, i didnt look exactly The Apple cider was like 1.010 (Angry Orchard) The beer I made sure finish up between 1.010-1.014 So, mine is showing 1.013 which is within the range. I will let it sit a few more...

well, when i put it in Cranberry juice, it certainly did not read one...lol My wort is actually reading 1.013

I am checking my wort/beer (its been 6 days now, air lock is silent now) Says 1.00 I have never done this before. So i think maybe the wort is bad. I then take a store bought beer, check that...1.0 Wine from store also same Am i doing something wrong?

So i posted yesterday that I brewed my first batch. 15 hours later, I go downstairs in the basement bedroom I have it (temp is lower there, mid 60s) and I can hear the bubbles before I even open the door, and then I sit down and can smell the fruity smell of the beer escaping the air lock...

Just brewed my first batch after weeks of research and video watching. Got a midwest brewery Platinum starter kit. Even after watching and reading all the information out there, until you actually do it, there is some things that you wont get a handle on. Now, i only had 3.5 or so...
