So do I use both packs of yeast? I can ever rehydrate one and not the other if that makes everyone feel better;)

It is the beercraft Rocky Mountain amber ale/lager

I waited another week and it was so much better!

I have another newbie question my kit came with two packs of yeast but the instructions just talk about one package of yeast I really need to use both packages. Also the back of the packs of yeast the Instructions for the Yeast tell me to rehydrate before using but the instructions that came...

They both say aroma and the instructions are vague at best. This will be my third time using a Brewcraft kit and I think all the instructions are the same. But I will go with the US Northern Brewer as my first hops to add. THANKS

I have a quick question I am brewing my beer right now and my kits came with two hops can someone tell me which one is the flavor hops and which one is the bittering hops

This is my first batch and it seams a little watered down to me. It has been in the bottles for two weeks, and it was in the ale pail for two weeks before. I do get a little sound when I open one and some head. It is a Scottish ale and the color looks good but I was expecting more. Any ideas on...

Thanks!!

Just so I can understand can someone go over why you need to move beer into a new carboy right before bottling? Is it to separate the yeast before adding more sugar?

Every time I think that I have a good starter kit I find other goodies that I want to get and I have not even tasted my own first brew yet. With all the bottles I now have for just two brews I also already want to get into kegs and get dump the bottles. I guess I need a seconded job until I get...

As a brewer noob I wanted to know how important it is to control the temp during the fermentation process and how accurate that control needs to be? I just bottled my first run, a Shilling Scottish Ale, that I keep in my basement 50 to 70 degrees. Don't know how it turned out yet another week or...

Shilling Scottish Ale

I started my first brew 10 days ago and opened it up for the first time today. It smelled real good, anyway I took a reading and it looks like it reads 11 to me. The kit said to bottle about 14 - 21 days. So as I understand that I need should take another reading in about three days to see if...

My first brew and I did not take a hydrometer reading. I am on day 7 of it in the carboy. with out a starting point would a hydrometer reading now tell me anything, should I take one?

My hydrometer did come in a tube and I did not even think about trying to use that. There is a cap in both ends along with some foam but I bet that is what I was to use. Now that I am on day three should I still try to get some readings?

So I just put my yeast in my first try at home brewing. I can not wait to see how it all turns out. I know I made my mistakes I am sure. But one mistake I think I made was getting a Brewcraft Kit and Recipe Pack. The first thing is that there are no instructions in the Kit other then the siphon...
