Bottled today came in at just under 4 gallons bottled using that app I came up with a need for about 2.44 oz of sugar.

So a fizzy taste before carbing is a Sign of???

You are correct.some reason I calculated og at 1.080 last night. Too much everclear

So it's been a week since I transferred to secondary and all the action on top is gone. I took a reading today and it has dropped from 1.024 to 1.018 by my math that makes this at 8%roughly. Still tasted very similar to what it is a clone of. All is well

And as far as the yeast being sucked in the spigot I tilted bucket back slightly to stop as much as possible and left almost a half gallon in the bucket to try and leave trub behind.

Yea, after extensive research thanks to this site I just relaxed and had a brew. Looks like bad stuff didn't form that much that quick anywhere in here I could find, not did they look like what I have. But yes I attached tubing which was clean, to the spigot and transferred by setting it in...

So I took reading to see where my brew is at. OG=1.070 tad high based on numbers with kit Current gravity is 1.024 instructions say FG=1.014 guess I've got more waiting and checking to do. I tasted sample and while not carbed it tasted very similar to style I was going for but had a slight...

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I actually deal with weekend brewer as its about 15 minutes from me.

So I've been interested in home brew for quite some time now. Several years ago I got a Mr beer and was unhappy with the results. Fast forward three years and last month my wife for me a nice beginners setup from a lhbs, complete with an extract kit classic brown ale. Today I finally took the...
