I see.. Thank you.

like a 1 1/2" in test tube?

How do you take a reading? Just stick it right in the wort?

How do you take a hydrometer reading? Just put it right in the wort?

Hey walker thanks for the offer. I sent you a PM

I'm going to be gone for a couple days and comming back on Friday. So, that would be one week. Will it still be good? Also, It would be difficult to boil 5 gallons. Maybe not if I only have to boil for a few minutes (I would have to divide it up and do about 1 1/2 gallons at a time.

You would think they would sell yeast in the grocery store? Don't people have to buy it to make bread? I work in the jail, the inmates seem to have no problem making hooch by just adding full slices of bread.

I live in Brainerd MN. I don't know of any close by.

Thanks guys.. Who should I order it from? Who's the quickest?

I brewed last friday. It still isn't bubbling. I made a mistake with the yeast putting it in cool water instead of warm. Do I dare add more yeast (I would have to order some). Or am I just screwed and thirsty?

That's good to hear. I rechecked to seal. I was wondering about the seal because it never did feel that it sealed very tight.

Yesterday, before putting in the yeast I let it sit out in a bowl for 15 minutes before putting it in. Problem is, I thought it was supposed to be 38-40 deg F. It actually read Celsius. So I put it in colder water. I didn't take the temp of the water but I'm guessing it was probably about...

It is called Muntons Active brewing Yeast 6 grams. In the directions it says to just sprinkle it over the brew and then stir a little after 10 minutes. On the yeast package it says to dissolve the yeast in 1/3 cup of cooled boiled water then wait 15 minutes then add to brew. Which way should...

I will be adding the yeast shortly. Just wondering what the ideal temp. should be to ferment?

Ok, I'll do some research. I sure am getting thirsty tho'. :) Thanks for all your help. This is a really cool site.

I bought it used on ebay. I ended up spending $81.00 including shipping. It came with ingredients for a 5 gal. batch and the 23 16oz grolsch bottles. It also came with a bunch of accessories like a thermometer, airlock, hoses bottle caps and a nice capper.

When I bought my kit it came with 23 grolsch 16 oz bottles. They smell clean, but look like some of them are used. Can I just wash them with dish soap? Or should I use a one step sanitizer and cleanser? Also, after they are clean do they need to be completley dry or do you just wash em...
