I got my first AG batch in the primary today. It's a Zombie Dust clone recipe I found here on HBT (posted by skeezerpleezer). I learned two important lessons, know what your equipment is capable of and know what you're capable of physically speaking. Unfortunately I ended up with a much...

Thats another thing I need to look into getting. I'm in the middle of a brew session right now so I guess I'm going to have to dump back and forth between buckets this time. :(

Hey thanks for the response! I used MrMalty calculator for my yeast starter volume. It seems like a pretty large volume to me too. I'll check out the ones you recommended and compare them. Of note, the yeast I'm using is 3 weeks old. The next piece of equipment I'm planning to get is a stir...
