No! I will be following this advice!

Thanks Wayne! Sounds good.

Awesome! Thanks so much everyone! I am gonna stick with honey cause i buy locale honey and want to see what it does. I will just give them out with a best by date. And I will tell everyone when they are good to drink. Thanks do much for all the help!!

so if i did this math right my end reading is 1.012? so 1.044 and 1.012 give me an abv of 4.2? I did not controle the temps so not 100 percent but i knew it would be low. does this sound right?

SO, i started this pumpkin ale on 08/28/12, i put it in secondary on 10/10/12. the end abv is about here so low end, around 4 maybe under i think. didn't do the math 1.044 was my start? first time so was looking for some help with that. my main question is i am botteling tonight...

So, thanks for all the help to everyone who posted. My pumpkin is in secondary now to clarify. And I am dry hopping it a bit with the hops from the recipe. I had a question about adding items to the secondary. I have a pumpkin I used as a keg last night that I baked today. I know if I added it...

So, it's just about two weeks. Should I move it to the secondary? Or keep it in the primary? I have heard now of days people tend to keep it in primary for the whole of the fermentation.

Is that by blickmen or bayou?

Thanks! I'm gonna go look it up right now.

I appreciate the concern ANC input and in all honesty. That's good info but he is right about it not being good for brewing. I made a batch of beer with this and it bearly kept a boil. controlling the flame was a mess, also the stand is painted black so the first couple a times you run it you...

You hit the nail on the head. For me it's no good. I didn't want to disused any other new people. But yes, that was an issue as well. Already returned.

Yeah I know. Just...pisses me off. I looked up a work around for the timer( disabling it) I'm sure it's fine for a lot of people but, I just think its stupid that if I buy a banjo burner and pot separately no timer. But som jack hat made it a law that if you buy it for frying turkeys it needs a...

Sweet! Thanks everyone! I ended up getting a different air lock ( the bucket) and filling it with old' vlad. Stopped my evaporation issue. Keeping it cool in a bath. Gonna get a fridge for the future! Thanks so mug again! All the help is appriceated!

So FYI, I bought that exact turkey fryer after I posted this under the advice of the local brew shop. Don't buy it! That little box on the regulator hose is a ideot box. Every 15 minuets it shuts off unless you press that button. I'm returning it. From what I have found, it's better to just...

So everything seems to be under control. I have it in the bath, it's been solidly slowly fermenting. My Only issue now is my air lock keeps getting pushed out and emptied. I am contomplating usin the blow out tube. But thanks to everyone for all the help! Once the fermentation slows down I have...

Traditionally, japanes green tea is supposed to be steaper extreamly hot only for 1-4 mins I think? Then removed and the tea served hot immideitly. The green tea we get in the store does have a couple things That differentiat it from japanes green tea. The major thing is Floride. American...

OK! So being the obsessive creature I am. I built a cooling tub. It's wrapped in two cold towles. And the water temp is outside 20 ish? The fermi meter last read between 68-70 and had seemed to stabilize. Should I lower it still? Or is this good ( not sure if I'm shocking the yeast?) Also it...

Ok, so the instructions said to pitch the yeast at 78. ( i can't tell if the 78 being blue is better then it being green as it was before i pitched the yeast. Still can't find how to read the fermentometer.) So, should i put the pumpkin ale is a cooler place? it said to put it somewhere warm and...

so my gravity was, and let me know if i'm reading this wrong, 1.044 and my temp, again i am guessing as to the fermentometer, is 78? I'm storing it in a dark room in my basement with a cover over it in a closet and the temperature down their is about 77-79 throughout the day. is this a good idea?

Thank everyone. I know the hops addition is kinda silly but I wanted to see what would happen :] As for the squash I will try that as well. I did pick to different but simaler yeasts so we will see!
