I've experienced the whole "bubble in the line" also. If you think about it, how much oxygen are in those few tiny little bubbles? Not much - I tend to think that minute amount won't have any affect. I worried about all that at first, but then I learned to just ease up a little. Drink a...

Yeast can be pretty moody alright. I've had one of my brews go so fast, that between visual checks, I actually missed seeing any activity.

My homebrew buddy put away 10 - 12oz. the other day, and he was pretty down and out the next day at work. I ussually enjoy a good 16 oz, or a 22 oz, right after work. If it's been a hard night at work - I do the same, but times 2. :drunk: The homebrew is definately a wee bit more...

Tony is currently first place! Somebody must one-up Tony...

I used a Wyeast smack. It didn't start slow, but it wasn't fast either - just steady. I had a blowoff after 36 hours that lasted at least 24 hours. I'm at a loss myself - I've never experience activity for this period of time.

Where are you getting your recipe from? Kit? Book? If it isn't a kit, what are the ingredient amounts?

I have one, and I like to think that I will use it, but I ussually don't. You know how it goes, projectiles are flying around, beer is getting swallowed, etc.

Just Curious... Give me your longest bubble times for your ales. For example, I just brewed up my first all-grain batch "Good Life Pale Ale" from Papazian's book. It is currently actively bubbling on it's 13 day. It wasn't a slow starter either (and not really fast one). What's your...

Same here. Palmer gave me all I needed for all-grain. "The Joy of Homebrewing" is good, but Palmer's stuff is much more straight forward and practical.

That "Beer of the Month" sounds pretty cool. They want an arm and a leg though!

Just be sure to keep your bung clean, it can harbor lots of bacteria.

I've been sent to the garage. I don't mind though, it's quiet. Talk about a woman's lib movement, we need a man's liberation movement! Take back our kitchens!! Take back out kitchens!!! Burn our whitee tighy's! Don't get any *** for a month :mad: I guess I'll keep the garage... :D

A man after my own heart.

Does it taste better? What's the word out there?

Just unclog your bubbler and clean it up.

Welcome! Are you a Badgers fan? They're on a roll right now. Glad to have you on the forum, this is where I learned (and am still learning) most of what I know about brewing. Once you start you'll never by beer from the store again - if you can help it. I wanna be a game tester and...

I just bought a brand new blow-off tube for my 6.5 gal carboy. I used it on this batch, and after 4 days of pretty tame but steady action in the fermentor - I removed the blow-off tube thinking all was safe. Two day later...chug...chug...burp...splatter...cough...chug...chug.. You know...

Isn't it weird for grown men who drink large volumes of beer to be chatting on a forum? Isn't this a teenage girl type of thing? But isn't it fun after a couple of pints!

I used the liquid extract this time, and what normally would be a fairly light amber beer turned out to be dark amber. I'm off to doing all grain for a while though.

Have a couple of beers man! Relax! :cool: I totally understand - I never look forward to bottling.
