Dont take hydrometer readings directly from the wort, pull a sample using a turkey baster and a testing tube. I just picked one up for 2.95 from midwest. Then you can sip your sample to see how its coming along :mug:

When i was cooling this weekend, i poured into the fermenter, and there was trub in the pot. I actually poured it in (yeah, im still learning) to the fermenter. Guess i should have just left it there.

Two questions: When using a turkey fryer for a complete extract boil, how much water does one start with? 5 Gallons or 6 gallons or.... And, at then end of cooling off a pot of an extract kit, what does one do with all of the leftover matter at the bottom of the pot? Does it go in the...

Maybe your tone needs to change a bit too. You have now blown this way out of proportion. Oh and spell check Cheers! :mug:

Attempting it today, I would stop and act like its an ice pack, and just squeeze till it pops. I tried the bitch slapping also, but resorted to just sqeezing.

Just put Midwests Sweet Raspberry Wheat in primary. And tried My first batch for the first time. Its great after 1 week in bottles, cant wait for 3 weeks in bottle.

Well, It has been a week in the bottles (I know revvy, too soon) but I was brewing another batch, so I thought it was time to give a first batch beer a shot. The moment of truth After the pour A little Home Brew and HBT.com :mug: Thanks everyone for suggestions and help, heres...

I would invest in a new keyboard.

If your not walking, i dont see the issue with the hydrocodone and beer. If you are mobile watch yourself. Mid april, I seperated my shoulder. Went out with friends, forgot that I took my hydrocodone, blacked out, and woke up with a skull fracture, subdural hematoma, and a really bad...

That sounds awesome. I have the midwest supplies Peace Java Coffee Stout coming. Im psyched for that too.

Relax Dont Worry Have A Home Brew Or a craft brew if you dont have any home brew on hand :D

Slow the bit down, dont go full blast and steady pressure. Also, not putting punctuation between every word may help ;) Welcome to the board, I am also from NJ.

Anyone have an opinion for a new smoker? I found THIS at walmart, but am also just thinking of making a terracotta or trashcan smoker. But, I need a grill at the moment, so this would be a plus also. Any thoughts? Getting hurt at rugby has really opened me up to some new hobbies with all...

I have read threads about propane turkey fryers, I was just wondering if anyone has ever used an electric turkey fryer for brewing batches in. It may be unfeasible, but have you tried it? :mug:

Tried it last night, and it was a good chance to sit with the wife for a while watching TV before I got to bottle. May try a vinonator (sp?) next batch.

I have been looking into making a trash can/terracotta smoker the last couple days. I have never smoked anything, and wanna give it a shot.

I also got the kit from groupon a while ago. Some stuff got in the way, but 2 weeks ago i brewed the autumn amber ale, and bottled it today. Just did a test from the bucket and it tasted pretty good. I think its gonna be pretty good in 2-3 weeks. Just follow the directions, take your time...

Waiting for the sanitize setting to finish on the dish washer to bottle an amber ale. And just ordered the peace java stout and raspberry wheat from midwest.

Take the shot. If it works, then you are all good. If it dosent then toss it.
