You definitely look like a girl scout, but more like their troop leader. A former girl scout. Of Amsterdam Troop 69., I'm so excited that my beer is coming along right.

but theres white gunk on the bottom that settled already (1 day in)--- is it safe to leave my beer touching that, didnt i drain it from the primary to avoid it touching this... trub?

It was bubbling through the airlock like once every 30 seconds towards the end of my diacetyl rest. Now that its in the secondary and heading back down (its at 58 degrees as of right now) it doesnt seem to be bubbling at all. Is everything ok?

when he said give it some oxygen he meant aerate it. pur in your yeast and stir it violently, get as much as bubbles into it as you can the yeast needs these air bubbles

when I was younger I went out all the time because there was nothing (no one) for me at home. now i'm older and i spend all my time at home. clubs are dirty, gross, bars are usually gross, and i have a girlfriend.

Im drinking Modelo Especial and waiting for my own special cerveza to finish its dactyl rest so it can be racked and sent down to the cold basement to lager and think about what its done.

but its plastic?

Thank you, found a fire extinguisher place near my house for the co2 and I think I'll start my dactyl rest tomorrow when its at like 1 Bubble every 45-75 seconds. My krausen has dropped dramatically and my test sample tasted really good. Flat, but good.

With my lager, do i do the dactyl rest while its still in the primary? or do i move to the secondary then do the dactyl rest? This part is the only part that is hazey... That and where the hell I'm gonna get some co2 for my kegging system.

I drank it, it meets the target taste range but its not carbonated... mmmmmm

Ok i took a reading 1.010 so far i resealed it and its back to bubbling once every like 10 seconds i figure i should give this 2-3 more days the krausen did drop a lot since yesterday but i did lower the temperate from 58 to 56 to let it lager better it sure smells something like beer...

i doubt of what? im so excited to take a reading but i want to make sure i'm not jumping the gun.

I pitched the yeast last saturday (2/10/07) -- its still bubbling once every 8 seconds or so, i should take a reading now?

STEEP 30 MIN: 1LB Cara-pils 2.5 Gallons Water BOIL 60 MIN: 6 LBS of HomeBrewery.com unhopped Light Malt Extract (Very Gooey) 4 oz of Saaz Hops added just about every 15 min. I ended up with about 5 gallons once I increased the volume with water. Chilled and then pitched 12 grams BREWFERM...

So theres no way without an OG? my recipe is: 6 LB "Home Brewery (TM) Malt Extract, Unhopped Light" 1 LB Cara-pils 4oz Saaz Hops (DOES HOP TYPE MATTER?) 5 gallons of water

as some of you already know-- i never took a hydrometer reading and everyone gave me real great advice on what to do next time. but what can i do this time to at least get the alcohol % of my brew? Why can't I just take a sample, drop my hydrometer in it- and look at the conversion chart that...

Yeah, the pressure will eventually build up enough that a little bit of co2 will escape around the S bend and up through the vodka. I think my vodka is carbonated now because of all the co2 activity-- mine started bubbling once in a while then once every few minutes then once every minute...

OK i checked it out -- the stainless steel garbage cans -- its just a metal cylinder with no bottom, aside from that it would have been perfect.
