Yep, malt extract (first kit I bought). Do you mean color is interesting in a good way or looks super strange? I have been reading a lot about bottle bombs after previous user posted. I might check 1-2 bottles at the end of week-1. I have seventeen 16oz bottles, and three 32oz bottles....all...

Other than taste, would this affect carbonation as in excessive pressure in bottles leading to bursts? I am hoping that at end of three weeks it will clear up. Would that leave lot of crud at the bottom of bottles? I will definitely wait longer next time. But I saw some posts in this thread...

Day 9 - Bottling day (I just could not wait!!!) I bottled mostly in brown flip tops, but also used 3 clear bottles just to keep an eye on what happens in there. These babies are now hanging out in a dark closet with a beach towel covering them from light.

Hydrometer is showing 4.5% after 7 days of warm fermenting Pilsner at 68-70F. Is that normal, or do I need to ferment it for few more days? I expected it to be around 5.5%-6%. Airlock was pretty calm, maybe bubbling once every 50 seconds. Tasted flat obviously as it isn’t carbonated yet, but I...

Wow, this is an awesome thread! But I am super confused after reading 19 pages of it, so please tell me if this works: - Started “warm” fermenting a pilsner in a 6.5 Gallon plastic bucket on 8th Sep. Used Dry yeast. Bucket shows 70-72F on the outside. Bucket is in a bath tub full of water and...
