Morgan Mountain Lager kit. Yeast is Coopers. pitch temp is a little cold but barely in the green on the beer thermo ( last I checked this morning ) In a dark area sealed lid with a blowoff. Below is the pix on the kit box. ** edit. That pix was just from a google image search of...

Edit. it kind of looks like this right here except not as yummy looking...

Hi hi. I am prewing some pale ail and after day 5 in the primary I am noticing a blue tint in the color. Like it is really looking blue and it is starting to worry me. I will get home tonight and take pix but for now does anyone have any ideas of what may be going on? There is zero foam...

OMG what is that horrid stuff?!

good idea but you will have a foamy sticky hard mess outside and against your wall that you will have to scrape off :P route the first hose to a blowoff bucket then another hose from the bucket out the window :D less mess and less people calling the police reporting you have a meth lab lol

You can get a real nice plastic carboy with a spig for under 15$ :)

A secondary little bucket for blowoff is probably a good idea unless you like mopping foam off your floor or carpet :P Make sure though to fill the blowoff bucket 1/3 with sanitized water!

The wort foam will also have a extremely strong smell. If you are indoors you may want to have a lid on the secondary bucket ( where the foam will go into ) have the lid air sealed and set up so a secondary hose leads out the window as seen below. Prevents that lingering sweet smell hovering...

** UPDATE ** Day 2 of No smell fermenting It is into hour 28 roughly and still no scent at all. Actually there is a small flower odor from one of those plug in glade freshners. I can see a little steam come off the sock heading outside. This worried me a little so I checked the temp of my...

If you want to cut all of the fermentation smell just go to my other post on odorless brewing. I have a room now that doesn't have a single hint of beer smell to it yet I have a beer that is foaming like mad and would normally be tossing out bitter smells. :D There are ways to make sure your...

lol :) yeah she hates the smell of the foam that comes out. the sweet sweet yummy foam. She complains it lingers for days and days. Yeah I was swirling it for the pix but it wasnt crazy fast :P just a little pre yeast swirl. Lol. I will tell you guys though. She came home and was pissed to see...

Ha ha.. yeah... That is always a option as well :P

Here you can see the hose going out the window with a sock tightly tied onto it. I gave about half a inch at the end of the hose and the sock so it can breath easier. You can see my tin foil and sealant on the stand along with a cuban cigar I intend to smoke later. Finished station all up and...

Hi all. Like I posted a few days ago my "other" that lives in the house told me I had to stop brewing because she hated the smell. Well.. I am not one to give up so I designed a way to ensure no odor reaches her lovely nose. Pix are as follows then I will explain them afterwards with the...

I am super new to this and have 3 batches going 3 days apart from eachother. I will be adding another batch over the weekend but following the advice of everyone I will keep it in the primary and skip the secondary altogether. as for sanitising I am a freak lol. I have that pink stuff and...

Perfect so If I get the pellets I can just use the bag in the pix above :) ( It is just a regular reusable teabag )

Silly question that I cant find the answer for in search options :P How exactly do I dry hop in secondary? Do I just go buy a tea bag and fill it with raw dryhops and soak them in the carboy for a few weeks? I was thinking in that case to use something like this Thank you in advance...

Lol I guess its time to pack it up and move over there tunemarshall ;)

ugh has anyone else had the "urge" ? Every time I finish up and place a batch from the primary into the glass carboy I feel the urge to make another batch.. I mean there is a perfectly good stage 1 bucket there not being used.. Problem is that it may be becomming a addiction lol. I have 3...

woot!!! :D grats. I hope to be able to say the same thing in a few weeks when I start to bottle my 3 kegs
