I'm about 2 weeks in on finishing carbonating a Texas Kolsh and I have 1 week left of fermentation on a Honey Hibiscus Wit before I can bottle it. I want to make another brew but can't come up with any ideas. Any suggestions?

BTW, the tube I got, I still have the sticker from Home Depot. 7/8" X 5/8" X 10 Ft. SVMK10 42143912

Reliance Aqua-Tainer - 7 gal. http://www.rei.com/product/618168/reliance-aqua-tainer-7-gal Costs less than $20. If you look at the airlock valve on the back, you can fit a hose that you can get at any Home Depot for less than $2. No need to use super glue to create a seal because once you...

I really like the fermenter I'm using. It fits in my mini fridge perfectly and modifying it was super easy. The fermenter is really used for storing water but it has an airlock already built in. All I had to do was drill a slightly bigger hole to fit my airlock. Got a tube big enough that fits...

Honey Hibiscus Wit. Aimed for 8% instead of 5%. Got the blow off valve already set.:D

I got home and decided to keep it in the primary. I must say this beer I'm making is fermenting like a monster! The air lock was clogged this morning so I washed it, sanitized it, and put it back in. Got home 7 - 8 hours later and the air lock was clogged again. about 5 - 10 seconds after taking...

Yeah I was planning on transferring to reduce sediment because I'm still bottling and not able to keg yet. Thanks for the advice.

And yeah we dont have basements in Austin. Not able to.

I live in Texas and the weather has been pretty warm. Too warm to place in an ambient area. When I'm not home, the house stays at about 85 to save on electricity. My fridge keeps it at a cool 65 which is what the yeast calls for.

Today I get to transfer my beer to a secondary fermenter. I've done this before and I'm well aware what to do. The thing is is my secondary doesn't fit in my fridge. My idea is to transfer from my primary to my secondary clean my primary then move my beer back to the primary fermenter. Is it...

Ah, I was wondering what that was for. I'll probably still use tin foil though, good idea.

And move as a suggestion? Come on man, lol. I'm sure some people are married and the significant other doesn't like the smell of hops unlike me.

I never thought of using foil, that's a great idea. The burner I got is new but I got it from academy for 30 bucks so I don't think I can get the flame blue flame but doesn't mean I cant test it.

I have a roommate that refuses to let me cook inside. So I made a deal where I can cook the first half inside but, once I get to the hops, I go outside and use my burner. Everything works great except one problem. Soot. It is such a pain to clean it out of my tub. Setting the pot down to change...

Thanks a lot! Guess I'll need to get a beer thief on Monday.

I'm making my third batch and using my new fridge for the first time, plus a new fermenter. I brewed just about 20 hours from now and not seeing any bubbles. I'm pretty sure it's my air lock because I was putting it into a new custom fermenter I made, I cracked it. I did seal the cracks with...

Makes sense. Thanks

This is an odd question but came to mind when thinking of my first brews. I understand the whole process of cooling the wort down to 80 degrees Fahrenheit in an ice bath but, would putting cool water in the fermenter first, then poor the wort in the fermenter, finally put the fermenter in an...

I purchased the blue container today and stuck it in the fridge to see if it will fit. LIKE A GLOVE!!!! Don't need to mod anything except the container which will be so easy to do. Can't wait to start making brews over the summer!!!

I managed to get a hold of a mini fridge that is perfect for fermentation. Got it for a reasonable price as well. Problem? The dimensions are off by inches. The dimensions I need to fit are for this 9 gallon Tuff-Tank Vessel: Dimensions 14inw x 14ind x 12inh The vessel will fit in the fridge...
