I too still have my first brew in the primary. The advice I got from reading posts and asking questions on the forum, most will tell you to not even bother with a secondary for most beers. Just let it sit in primary for three weeks. Check your gravity three days before the end of the three...

Mine has been going for three days now and still only at 1 bubble every 30 seconds....hope it picks up soon. I guess I should be happy it's still going.

Just pitched my yeast today on a 4 gallon batch of this hard lemonade. Used 6 lemonade, 2 limeade and 8 lbs of sugar. OG was at 1.134. Started my EC1118 yeast the day before in a sugar water/apple juice solution. Slowly added some of the must throughout the evening. The next morning yeast...

Wow...there are a lot of conflicting ideas about adding coffee. Some say just add the grounds, some say add whole beans, others say to cold brew. The one thing that everyone seemed to agree on was definitely do not hot brew the coffee. Also, some say to add at secondary and others say add...
