Yes, next time I'm gonna get one of those

Thank you Sadly, I can't get anything from Facebook cause I'm living in a country banned by most of the world. But I will definitely avoid glass carboys

Thanks for the reply I will stay away from glass and look up those you mentioned. I can't get the temp lower than 23 degrees, will it lead to off flavors?

Haha I know how you know 😂 Next time I'll invest in a carboy and get an airlock with the silicon sealing, so easy just pour the wort inside and place the airlock and that's a very reliable seal, I'm so terrified of oxidation, it's my nightmare. First time I brewed beer, I used bread yeast and my...

Yeah that's right, I cut off everything, just used some tube sealing tape, sanitized and closed the lid, now it's bubbling crazy

Hi I pitched the yeast last night, it's been 12 hours and the us05 has made quite a foam on the top, should I see bubbles now? There are no bubbles coming out of that tube I sealed that thing pretty good, should I look for leakages?

Thanks for the replies, they're really reassuring

Hi I added some sugar to up the ABV to some extent, is it gonna make the yeast lazy? Is it going to lead to a stuck fermentation? I heard someone saying the yeast will eat all the simple sugars and when it gets to the more complex sugars, it'll have trouble eating those

Thanksi just thought that it would reduce the body to a great extent

I can't get a brewing bag, cheese cloth or paint strainer in my town, can I use pillow casing? On a pillow casing the holes are way thinner than a brewing bag, how will that affect the wort?

Other than gelatin, It's the only fining agent I could find and I indend to use it since this stuff work a lot faster than gelatin I have a few questions about it since the supplier seems not to know much about it 1. The supplier says it can be used after the boil, and a few hours before...

Haha, I did a whole research and realized those two plants shared the same family, I just wanted to know if the smell will stick around and be in the finished beer

The scent was so strong you could smell it from meters away, so that marijuana aroma/flavor will not be in the finished beer no meter how I schedule adding hops?

Thanks for the reply! I will definitely harvest the yeast since real beer yeast is so so difficult to find in my country, actually I have a question about harvesting the yeast, it's a top fermenting yeast, I watched a video on YouTube, fermentation was over and there were some stuff on the top...

This is my first time using real hops in form of pellets, I decided taste it and have an idea of the aroma and flavor, so I took one pellet and made a tea with it and man it smells like marijuana, I hate the smell of marijuana, it makes me wanna puke, yet it's there, the only reason I bought...

I'll just directly pitch it then, to minimize contamination and explore to air What are other methods?

Thank you I've read thx So what is the benefit of rehydrating the yeast then?

I've only used bread yeast before (and I tell you, the results were awful) This time I'm using us 05 I read some other topics about this and it seemed like there was some debate on whether or not you should rehydrate dry yeast. But most people said they had better results rehydrating us 05...

Thank you, yes it's true, we learn from our mistakes next time I'm gonna get a water kit online and what it contains is some salts and acids to get to the right pH and softness/hardness levels and some instructions, right now I'm not sure about the pH level of my water cause I don't own a...

I thank everyone for their kind replies I will listen to you and stick to making a lower gravity beer, I like the fact that you get some real answers in this forum, thank you, I will keep all points in mind and listen to the advices
