I posted a somewhat but not quite similar thread and find this reply to be useful information to what I asked. It pays to browse around on slow days in the office :)

DrugCoder: I did a google and found this. Hopefully they can point you in the right places: http://barleymobbrewers.org/

ahhh. Carbonation. Does that mean there should be some amount of bubbles? Or nothing at all UNLESS I pop a top?

TOO WEIRD! I am taking off work tomorrow as we have a slab leak that a contractor is coming over to fix (supposedly all in a day). The leak? Where else, the master bath! Otherwise the missus and I are driving to SW Oklahoma Saturday for her family's Christmas get together. Spend a few...

Coopers Real Ale: -Made wort and started Primary 2 Dec: SG: 1.045, Observed airlock and krauesen activity. Temp varied from 67-72 -Racked to Secondary 9 Dec (forgot what the reading was and I'm at work now DOH! so I can't look it up) -Bottled (added 3/4 cup boiled dextrose) 16 Dec: FG...

david_42: I like your idea, only I'll modify it slightly and measure the 6.5G and take a tape measure with me. dcbrewmeister: I have space constraints to some degree (a full size fridge is not an option. Width is less of a concern). Do you happen to know the measurements of the small chest...

Although I've done some research in the forums, I haven’t yet been able to find an answer to this question: I’m wondering what commercially available mini fridges are big enough to allow a 6.5 gallon plastic bucket or 5 gallon carboy so that you can better control temperatures during primary...

bloody brilliant! :mug:

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I've joined a local brew club where we have x number of "Brew Days" (where we get together and do Beginners thru Advanced brew clinics and samlpe homebrews), but until I have the chance to goto one, I'm winging it :) All in all, I have been pleasantly...

I lived in U City for 6 years. Welcome! Do you go to Trailhead often/ever in St Charles? How About them Cards? Carpenter and Pujols were robbed of the Cy Young and MVP, but I'll take the championship anytime :rockin:

I bottled my first batch of home brew this past Saturday, and everything seems to be going well: -My FG reading was 1.0125 -Color looked very typical of a Pale Ale (Cooper’s) -No malodorous scents The carboy was siphoned down to approximately 1 ¼ inch as there was sediment that just...

thanks one and all. This AM the activity in the airlock has slowed somewhat (I rated 6 bubbles over a 2 minute span), so I think things are progressing very nicely. Like the 2 cent proverb: Patience is its own reward:drunk: I'm anxious to take some more photos. Another question: I've...

<q>I have also heard that the fermenting process smells pretty bad.</q> That was the major concern my wife had. To me, it brought back memories of my days stationed at Bitburg AB in Germany: yes, it smelled like a brewery, but my wife described it as more like making bread :)

Brewmasters: I've pitched my first batch of home brew (Coopers Real Ale) in a 6 ½ gallon plastic bucket on 12/2 and have been monitoring the daily progress of temp and frequency of the airlock bubbles. Everything seems normal at this point and is only a matter of hurry up and wait. However...

I'm fairly sure I used Google, but I book marked the page and have been a lurker for @ month now. I began my first batch of HB yesterday and found this site indispensable! Good advice and tricks o' the trade for us newbies :rockin:
