I have two brews fermenting right now. One, the IPA, is in the secondary and has been for a week and a half. Its still bubbling every oncein a while. what is a safe ammount of time to leave it in there before bottling because i didn't take a hydrometer reading. The Wheat beer is almost...

I brewed a Honey Wheat from AHS this a week ago. it started fermenting the morning after and is still going. it has slowed down a little but still 4 or 5 bubbles a minute. should i transfer to a secondary or are you suppose to let wheat beers sit in the primary the whole time until bottling...

yeah, thats pretty much all you need(other than a stainless brew pot). you might want to just order that kit directly from midwest supplies though. your not really getting a deal with ebay and also midwest will replace anything not included or lost/damaged in shipping.

i wouldn't worry about it until 48 hours goes bye with no action. anything could affect the times between pitching the yeast to starting fermentation. mine have usually started after around 36 hours.

well im doing a 5 gallon boil which takes alot more to cool anyway. i made the pre chiller at home, could it be that i dont have enough copper coil in the bucket to chill the water that is being pumped through there? the water coming from the hose is 84.

I brewed yesterday and could not get the word down past 90 while using a wort chiller along with a pre chiller. is there an easier way w/o spending alot more $$$

I ordered an IPA kit from Austin Homebrew Supply and didn't think about UPS not delivering on the 4th. should the yeast be ok? i orderded an icepack along with it. but im not sure how they store their boxes.

So... chill wort, pitch yeast and then pump air into the wort for 30 to 45 min.? and could you sanatize the pump by running it for a while in a star san solution?

just wondering what is the best way to aerate 5 gallons of wort. i can pour vigoriously but is that enough? is it worth buying an aeration pump to be sure there is enough oxygen in the wort?
