k im about to start brewing a four peaks hop knot clone and i just popped the wyeast smack pack...then i read the back and it said let it sit for 3 hours before using... should i just wait a few hours before i start iv only started to boil the water or should it be fine to use in an hour or so...

the brewer for santan used to work at four peaks if i am not mistaken. i like four peaks way better personally but i used to go to santan alot so cant complain to much. all i drink is the raj at four peaks so tasty :mug:

thanks guys that helps out alot :) GO BULLS!

Im new to the whole homebrewing and trying to learn as much as I can. when i do something i like to do it the right way. i have heard/read that using a yeast starter is better then using dry yeast packets. i have read up on how to do it and watched videos on youtube about it but still have a...

well i usually drink IPA's. both kits where basic beers pale ale and brown ale. so not much to compare them to as far as them being a clone. ps what is RDWHAHB

it was like he was there watching me brew :) i gotta check my closet...yah i love good beer i go to alot of breweries and thats how i got hooked. i have no prob drinking my crap beer but i want to be able to bring it to parties and dinners with friends and have them enjoy something i made.

okay...i think the first batch i sucked up to much yeast when i bottled and it may have altered the taste...it was very cloudy. k my next batch ill use osmosis...i saved all the gallon jugs from the distiled and there is a omosis station at my apartmen complex that should work.

both kits where True Brew kits. i keep my fermenter in a tub of water in my room which is usualy the coolest part of my apartment. the temp of the water is usually 65-70*. im not sure how to get the temp inside the fermenter. i used distilled water from the store. the water here in arizona is...

no your 100% right revvy...i have a hydrometer but i didnt use it on my second batch. i didnt think it was that important, but i have a feeling your laughing at that lol the first 4 days I didnt see any action in the airlock then it went off for about 5 days left it in there for a few days after...

so i purchased a true brew kit and it came with a pale ale...did everything the instructions said to tried to be as sanitary as possiable but the beer just dosnt taste that good. so i purchased a brown ale true brew kit, same thing it just taste like crap. i know this isnt much info to go on but...

why do you not like secondary's? and what do you mean by to much head room? to much open space between the beer and the top of the bucket?

i want to use a secondary fermentor, question is can i just transfer my beer into the bottleing bucket and use that as my secondary? and when it comes time to bottle i wont have to syphon into the bottling bucket becasue its allready in there. I can go buy a secondary if needed.

yah i was just talkin to my roomate about taht i dont think i can even use it, ill just put it back and buy a real one.

geez...as i said before the manager of the food department told me i could have it, wither it was legal or illegal of her to do so not really to worried about it. i didnt steal it, she told me to take it. i cant find any pictures online of the one i have. it is literally the same as a normal...

oh geez your starting to sound like my mom! the beverage manager said i could have it. its the same height as a norma keg just alot skinnier. i had beer in it not soda.

k so i work at a golf course and i stole one of the mini kegs...they said i could have it if no one saw me take it so didnt really steal it. anyways its a mini keg not a full one and i have 5 gallons of brown ale brewing just curious how do i keg my beer? i might now do it now because i dont...

okay guys i know you have been very worried about my beer, understandable. came home from work and the airlock was dancin like a disco. SUCCESS!

no you read it right, i didnt want to put a therm in the beer at this point so i was confused as to how people where checking the temp of there beer. i will look into getting a digi :)

i dont think there are any leaks, when you put any pressure to the lid of the fermenter (im using a bucket not a carboy) you can see the water in the airlock go up and down. i pitched the yeast when the temp was below 90*, but it was just under 90*. this may sound dumb...im new to this...
