Yes, be patient and if you're finding it hard to wait, just sniff the airlock, like all of us ;) Do tell us how it ends up, cheers

Getting that in the mail saturday. Can't wait to try it.

I've had luck with dry packs (signs of life within 7 hrs, with aeration) but I hear nothing but great things about smack packs and starters. You may have a convert in your midst...

And you don't have to rack to a secondary if you don't want to. It's split about 50/50 but a lot of people will leave brews in primaries for up to a month then rack to bottling bucket. Totally up to you

Yeah I love seeing how it's progressing. I think the simple smell of it that screams 'I'm Beer!' brightens my day. Awesome, thanks for your thoughts

Not a big issue here, but I've been using a thief to take a small sample of the brew and measure the SG in it. My question is rather for the most part, do you keep the sample and dump it in a glass to check the brew so far or do you dump it back into the batch? I've heard you shouldn't dump...

Little things like a stirring spoon, thermometer, a thermometer strip for the carboy, either an airlock or blowoff for the carboy and patience. Cheers and happy brewing!

I had to use RO water for my old salt water fish tank, some of the purest water I've seen yet. Check into a fish store nearby, they may be able to help

I can sympathize. Brew weekend is only a few days away now, mwahaha

Yes, what did you end up going with? Cheers

:off: Battlestar fan much? :rockin: So say we all!

Sorry to hear how your day went but I would love for you to follow up afterwards. Keep us posted, let us know how it ends up

Right there with ya. I may be bottling mine this weekend and letting it sit for a couple weeks. I can't wait. The small samples during the hydrometer tests aren't enough!

Well said mate, well said. :mug:

Bump

I actually had a question along the same lines of thought. My amber ale has been upstairs holding steady at 68 F for a week now, still in primary. Would it be advantageous to move it to the garage at about the 40s F for a week more before bottling?

I've been using a thief and draining that into a small cup to get a sample, win win

Ordered one today to have some for summer and some for Christmas later. Can't wait to see how much a difference the time makes

Cheers from DFW! Be sure to share the results and have a blast :mug:
