To the OP, I had the exact same issue yesterday. My brew was bubbling within 4 hours of being transfered into the carboy. As I am new, like you, I have been watching it like a hawk. It bubbled great Since Friday, but when I woke up Sunday morning, I noticed that the Krausen rose all...

Seven, Thanks a ton for that info. Luckily I bought like 10 of the airlocks when I was last there and I had some extra 1/2" tubing laying around. So what I did was fill one of my brewing buckets with 2 gallons of hot water, added the recommended amount of One Step, placed the new...

Okay. I currently don't have a tube small enough to fit into the plug, so I will have to go and get some or modify another plug. For now and until I can rig a blow off, can I clean it out and put some new water in? -Sapp

And yes I do have it covered. I only removed the cover to take the photos. -Sapp

Fellas, Yesterday I checked I posted up a little update about my first batch. Before I left for dinner last night, I was getting a bubble about every 5-10 seconds in the airlock. Water was clear and everything looked great. Woke up this morning and bubbles are coming about every...

Took a quick peek today and the airlock is bubbling like a mofo! I am super excited! I know its nothing to you veteran brewers, but I could watch it for hours! I am getting a good steady bubble every 5-10 seconds. 3 weeks is going to be forever! -Sapp

Hey quick update, just checked the fermenter and it is already bubbling in the airlock! Cool! -Sapp

Visalia, I bought the carboys and a bunch of other equipment before my wife got me the kit for Christmas. I know it is totally personal preference, but I had to have glass. It guess its the same way I feel about drinking beer out of glass or plastic bottles...or Coca-Cola. To me glass...

Below Zero!? No thanks...it was 86 here on Christmas Day...although sometimes I hate Florida, sometimes the weather is better. -Sapp

Water is not bad where I live, just a little chlorine taste. I figured I'd just spend the $7 on clean water than worrying about my first batch being a complete and utter failure, resulting in a satan's b-hole taste...lol -Sapp

Definitely! I know that it can be dangerous to do inside, but I opened all of the windows in the house for good ventilation. I was planning on doing it on the back screened in porch, but I am from Florida and it was like 48 degrees today...too cold for me! Plus the wind was blowing really...

Fellas, I joined here on New Years Day in hopes that I could use this forum and other's experiences to guide me through. Well today was my very first batch ever with real equipment. Up to this point I had made several Mr. Beer batches, but holy crap there is absolutely no comparison at...

Fecpo, Hello from Palm Coast! Where are you buying your supplies? I made the trip to "Just Brew It" in your neck of the woods and it seems like a pretty good place. I also got a home brewery kit for Christmas from my wifey too... except mine is from Williams. What's gonna be your fIrst...

Sounds like I'm in the market for a temp controller! -Sapp

Brewing my first "Real" batch of beer on Saturday. Plan on cleaning everything tomorrow and having it all laid out for Saturday morning. Up until this point I have been using Mr. Beer and their kits, but I finally have a Williams Premium Brewing Home Brew Set-up and their Tripple Hop Ale kit...

I have a small chest freezer that I usually use for bait storage during the summer when I am fishing alot. The freezer has been unplugged for about two months now and I was wondering if I would be able to use it for anything. What would I need to control the temperature and what are the temp...

Kilroy, Is it just me or is pulling the labels the worst thing ever about emptying and reusing bottles? I have been using Rogue bottles and jesus I think they use space gorilla glue on the labels...thats even after softening them up with hot water in the sink. Good luck on your...

Smokey, Welcome from a newbie to a newbie! I am also newer to brewing, although I have some expreience with Mr. Beer (baby kits). You seem like you got some great hobbies and I am jealous of your ability to legally use and grow. Even as a LEO, I disagree with the current laws and...
