Thanks for the replies.. I think I'll likely go Ice bathing this time around. I also think that a wort chiller will be part of my next order. I'd like to prove to myself and the wife that this is a hobby that will stick around long enough and produce good enough beer that I can justify...

Ok.. so.. Turns out I didn't brew last saturday.. but I'll likely be doing it this saturday. I had to come find this thread again because after waiting and reading for an extra week, cooling my wort is still the thing i'm most unsure about. I'll probably do a 3 - 4 gallon boil so I'll...

gotcha.. i'll have to check out the racking cane and see if it will fit through the stopper.. i also have one more question that i forgot to ask.. My kit came with a carboy tap/autosyphon and a racking cane. How do you use them both together? or do you? thanks for the reply rich...

But have a couple of questions.. My initial shipment came in but didn't include the mesh bag or airlock it was supposed to. (they are on there way and will be here tues or wed.) I figured that the lack of the airlock isn't that great of a deal.. I'll just rig a blowoff tube. I briefly...

It is Will Ferrel in one of the best ever saturday night live skits ever! http://homepage.mac.com/kellydean/Music/iMovieTheater34.html check it out :) I love the hacksaw reference though.. i guess if you replace the drumstick with a 2x4 you'd be really close ws

Cool.. Thats what i figured.. just wanted to get reassured.. thanks.. I have two ingredients kits with my shipment so maybe when i order my next couple of kits or set of ingredients i'll try and add a 5 gal carboy and accessories to the list.. (probably a lid with hold for the bucket as...

Hey group.. The UPS tracking page says that my package has reached my hometown so it should be out for delivery today or tomorrow.. I'll probably be brewing next weekend... My Equipment kit is coming with a 6.5 gal carboy and a bottling bucket w/spigot. I was considering using the...

I recently purchased the deluxe equipment kit as well as a nut brown ale kit and hefeweizen kit from Morebeer.com when you click on the kit you want it gives you the option to add a complementing yeast either liquid or dry. for the hefe there was no dry option.. only white labs liquid...

Hey group.. not sure where this needs to be posted so i'm dropping it in here... as my brewing equipment is speeding its way towards me via a big brown truck Ive been realizing that i really don't have a ton of space in the house to dedicate to this new hobby. We also happen to have a...
