I would love to talk trash but I'm a Caps fan... Ugh.

Hell I even applied for the janitor job in the brewery at flying dog and haven't heard back. Not sure if I'm over qualified or they just aren't looking anymore but just haven't heard anything.

Thanks I'll have to look into that.

So I took the zest off of 4 oranges and soaked them in vodka for a day but here's the kicker, I forgot to boil the peel first. I did rinse them off with water though. I guess I will plan on just adding the concoction and hope it tastes good. I'll leave it in secondary for a week. :fingers crossed:

Congrats! Feels good doesn't it? I had that same feeling a few short months ago.

I am looking to get a part time job or even do some volunteer work at a brewery in the NOVA or even western MD area. Does anyone know where to look? I have emailed a few places but no one needs help(even volunteers!!!).

Thanks for the info guys. Of course I changed my mind and went with oranges. I have the zest marinating in vodka in the fridge as I type. I will have to try the strawberry next. That sounds like good stuff!

So I think I decided to go with Strawberries. Any tips?

How do you sign up to volunteer? I would give you a ride but I will be coming from WV?

I'm not familiar with Brew Strong. Ill have to look into it.

Anyone else never use a yeast starter? I am on my 4th batch and I have not used a starter and don't really plan to. I have used dry yeast and smack packs and have never had a problem. Anyone else that doesn't use a starter and if not ever have a problem?

Ideally you want to use a secondary bucket because you need to add the priming sugar.

I went through the same thing on my first batch and it tasted awesome. I'm on my 4th now and I have had all types of different air lock activity. Just hang in there. It will taste great!

I just brewed up my first Weizenbier the other day and is in the Primary right now with nice air lock action. I'm thinking about adding some fruit to it when I move it to secondary in a couple weeks. If I plan on throwing in some Strawberries or peaches how much do you need for a 5 gallon...

BURP sounds like my kind of club. Im definitely gonna look into it. Thanks!

Any brewers in the Loudoun VA or even in the Charles Town WV area? If so where is the nearest brewing club?

Cant wait for this!

Good to know bud. LETS GO CAPS!!!

Thanks for the responses guys. Very helpful. I guess my main question is, is it weird that I only saw action in the air lock for 2 days? I used a slap pack and let it sit for about 2 hours even though the pack said to wait at least 3.
