On that note, I did the same thing on my first batch. I bottled the other night and forgot it was in there as I was cleaning the bucket after bottling. The grommet went right down the drain as I was cleaning. So my question is where can I get a new one and what size is it? I have a Brewer's...

Thanks for the information. I thought that would be the case but I was a little worried when I drank it last night. I plan on letting it condition for 7 days and put 1 in the fridge and try it after a few days in the fridge, then repeat at 14 and 21 days to see what the differences are after...

So I bottled my first batch Monday night. It was a Weizenbier kit from Brewer's Best. I followed all the directions. Cleaned and sanitized I let sit in the primary for 3 weeks. The temperature remained steady between 66-68 degrees. Never got above 70. I racked to the bottling bucket after...

Glad I asked. I will drink the half bottle when I get home tonight. My FG was stable at 2 weeks and I let it go another week to clean up and it was still the same when I went to bottle so I think I am good there. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. One more question. My last bottle was only filled halfway with the rest of the brew that I had left. I was going to just drink but decided to cap anyway. Will this bottle take a longer, shorter or same time to carb? And will it taste any different than the other...

I bottled my first batch last night after 3 weeks in the primary. I have to say I was surprised it went so well. Did not take as long as I had planned and I feel like I have accomplished something. My plan is to let them condition for 3 weeks to carbonate. I have a plan of throwing one in...

Understood. I just had some free time this evening with the wife and kid out of the house so it could have been easy for me to bottle tonight, but I can wait and do it in a couple of weeks as well. Thanks for the advice. I am always looking for advice and that's why I come here. Hopefully...

So I have my first brew in the primary fermenter right now. I have no secondary fermenter so I am going straight to bottling when it is ready. My question is: Am I ready to bottle? It has been in the primary for 10 days. I took gravity reading 2 out of the last 3 days and they were the same...

I think I have lid on tight but the rubber grommet that holds the airlock feels like it may be a little loose. Guessing that is where my problem is. Anyhow I feel better that it sounds like it is working. One last question. I have read on here that some people leave in primary for a...

Thanks for the reply. I figured it was fine and i will leave it for a while. Patience is not my strong suit but I know it will be worth it in the end. Wish I could brew another batch but since I am new to this, I don't have the setup to brew more then one batch at a time. Oh well.

So I am brand new to this and I brewed my first batch on Monday night. It was a BB Weizenbier. I have been checking airlock on my primary for the last couple of days and no activity. I was a little concerned last night so I popped the lid and there was a thick layer of krausen and it smelled...
