I add my extra water after the wort cools before I pitch my yeast. That is what the book I read when I started said to do.

I used BrewVint Yeast Fuel in my most recent brew. It never got out of hand but was a steady bubbling for a good 6 days.

just where you store your kegs is bigger than my kitchen. wow

an update on the mint soda. I used too much sweetnlow, so its a bit sweet, but overall it turned out amzingly refreshing, and goes well with a bit o bourbon.

Yummy! Arrg I cant wait to do my next wheat.

I found making a starter just builds my excitement level for brewing the beer. I also try to get everything out I will need for brew day and hand wash then sanitize it all at that point.

I just realized that I have been lurking these forums for over a year, and I just started posting last week. There has been some great advice here. I have to give props to you guys for helping people so much.

Well a little over a year ago a friend of mine started. I think I started a few days after it sounded like too much fun. Since then, I have done 6 batches, and have bought a kegerator and 2 cornie kegs and a wort chiller. Kegging is the way to go for sure. Brew 1 Pilsner kit. Brew 2 I tried...

I use a plastic bucket as my secondary. I think it is fine, but then again I havent ever used a glass carboy so I have nothing to compare it to.

float CO2 in 2ndary? This batch was only my 7th batch and will only be my second time kegging. I am not too sure of what you are asking. I don't normaly do anything except rack to the secondary, put the lid and airlock on and let it sit another week.

wow thats awesome.

2 here. If my apt wasnt so small I think I would get 2 more.

It has gotten too hot to brew, so I ordered a saison kit. Some things I noticed, and would like some feed back on. Background: Temp when I started this batch was 90 to 100f out, and I don't have a good way to controll my fermentation temp. Brew day everything went perfect, from cleaning to...
