I too, am a fairly new brewer. I followed the directions on my Brewers Best Irish Red Ale to the "T". But what I have learned from reading the info on this forum, is to let the wort age on the yeast for at least 3 weeks. This is what I have been doing , and am satisfied with the results. I am...

I have had some that took a couple of days to notice fermentation. Give it at least 48 hrs. Good luck to you. Steve

Congradulations on the first one. I am new myself. You should be ok on your stir rod as long as the dog didn't lick it or it had food on it for awhile. I have done some thoughtless things during my second and third brews. Everything came out fine. Just try to learn from your mistakes. I sure am...

When you place the chiller in your brew pot, you may lose your boil for a few minutes. This happened to me on a 3 gal boil on the stove top. Good luck.

50' of 1/2" OD refridgeration copper at Lowes for $54.00. A few dollars for fittings. I formed my coil of copper around a piece of 8" PVC pipe. I used it this past Tue for the first time on a 3gal boil and it cooled it down to 80F in about 5 minutes. Good luck on your build. It is very easy to do.
