Most people have a sealed lid on their primary buckets....

Well, I think everyone's seeing the folly in putting them all in the Gulf Coast region anyways :) At least I'm not in Houston anymore....

Well it helps being so close to the bulk of the nation's refining capacity and having a very tax adverse population here in Texas :)

$2.39 today :mug:

That's what I think most see as an "explosion". Some people are too literal. I got a friend into the hobby a couple of months ago. He brewed AHB's Cannonball Stout. It "exploded" and sent black wort all over the closet. His wife wasn't too happy with his new hobby.....

It would probably improve your beer. A few more weeks of aging improves most styles. Not to mention that you end up with a beer with better clarity if you let it sit in a secondary for a week or two. It would probably have little to no effect on the ABV of the beer as the fermentation should...

That's the only reason I'd live in Austin. (well, besides the high quality tail running around that town.....) I wish AHB was my local store.

Fat Abbot is an old bit-character from South Park. Don't know how it fits me, I'm not fat and I'm white. Just been using the name for years.

My Ale Pale doesn't have a gasket, either. No problems with the seal here.

Sounds ready to bottle to me....

If it's that carbonated after only a week, you might want to put the rest of the batch in the fridge :mug: Someone needs to make a bottle bomb smilie....

I haven't brewed in over a month, and both batches I have in bottles now are aging for the winter. I'm getting yet another friend into homebrewing, so we're brewing tomorrow after we go by our LHBS and pick up his equipment. :rockin:

The declaration of a state of emergency is usually just an early effort to lock in federal and state relief funds, not to give an accurate forecast of what conditions will really be like. Hope everyone stays safe (and relatively dry).

Brewer's Best kits have ingredients for a 5 gallon batch. I wouldn't top it off any more than that, especially on one of your first batches. It'll throw off your gravity (hydrometer) readings. Taking gravity readings on your first few batches helps you understand the process, IMO. I...

I don't think he's talking about the actual AHB recipes. I think he's talking about the canned kits (Coopers, etc.) that they sell as well.
