You will not regret ordering it well built and easy to clean. I have use my 20L for 3 gallon batches with no problem. Just received my 30L Speidel last week and can't wait for next brew day. :ban: Enjoy. Cheers

Got yesterday open today :D 30 L Speidel, Caps, spare replacement gasket. :ban: Time to brew more......

You can tip the bottling bucket slightly next time you bottle. I found this helps to keep sediment out of siphon when bottling. As mention leave a little in bottle when pouring. Enjoy... :) Cheers

I remember as kid that I would stop playing to go watch the show. I think the show got a lot of people into different fields of science. My dad was a chemist so I was always around some kind of science but Star Trek that was the future. LLAP

As stated earlier if the SG reading is the same then no fermenting has been done. I have read here that with some kits might be older and the yeast not viable. You can do a search and find a different yeast that will be for that style and re-pitch. If using a dry yeast remember to rehydrate then...

First don't get discouraged about brewing it can be a lot of fun once you figure out what to do . I use Star San for anything that could even come close to my brew. I also soak everything in PBW or Oxiclean before brew day then rinse, re-rinse then drop in Star San. Keep at it until you figure...

Glad no one was around to get hit with any of the flying glass it looks like it went all over. Also took me a while to see I too was looking at wall setup. Very nice... One other possibility is that the carboy develop some stress fractures that was unnoticeable. I drop enough things that don't...

Mr. Scott I'm giving her all she's got. Captain

My suggestions for getting gravity from carboy is to get a wine thief I finally brought one from LHBS. It takes a lot of worry out of getting sample to check gravity. I also have Speidel with a spigot that I get samples from. Have to use San Star in the spigot and cover but both methods work...

I know how you feel :D Down to last two have to brew more. Cheers

Welcome to the Madness we call Home Brewing :D Couldn't agree more with Sammy86 and Mliptack. HBT is the place ask and search out some of the best answers to brewing questions. With that said always have fun and be patient with brewing. Good luck...:) Cheers

5 Gallons Hella Vanilla Cream Ale 1.5 Gallons Deception Stout 1 Gallon Coconut Vanilla Porter bottling tonight...:)

Being new myself I have learned from here that you will get better results if you let the yeast clean up. I now let my brews sit for at least two weeks in primary then take a few gravity readings to ensure that it is finish. My first brew was a Honey Wheat as soon as gravity stayed the same...

Blow off tube will help avoid that in the future. If you don't have a fridge or swap cooler then maybe using a cooler that your carboy can fit in and use cool water to get temp under control.

Bottled 5 gallons of Banana Bread last weekend. Will be doing small 1 gallon of Coconut Vanilla porter later tonight.

Brewed Hella Vanilla Cream Ale late last night. :mug:

You can also use brew software some are free and others pay. Put your recipes in and see where OG and FG should come close too. Then you can also play around with ingredients to modify to your taste. Cheers

Plan on giving it a go. I will use advice in article and make a tea first to try out different intensity level.

Welcome to home brewing...... I would not worry just let the yeast it do it's thing. After reading here I now leave for at least 2 weeks in fermenter. Then start checking the gravity until it stays the same over a couple of days. Being new myself I also know it is hard to just wait. But that...

Welcome to HBT from across the pond. Can't warn you about the obsession since you started in 2013. :D Cheers
