Be sure to aerate the cool wort before pitching the yeast.

I have made three batches of different beers. Not the Chinook. None have shown any activity until well in 72 hours. My batch sit in a 64 degree basement. What is your temp were the gallon is kept? Leave it sit. Let the yeast wake up and do it's thing.

Graveyard Carz is Mopar all day. Mark Worman is a bit annoying but I totally respect the guy for restoring each Mopar with correct nuts/bolts and markings from the factory. I'm more of a fan of originals and or restoring to factory original. No doubt you are a Mopar guy and this program will...

Gotcha. Tiny pic on my phone. Tried to read the script on the fender. Graveyard Cars fan?

Nice Charger. I own two Buicks. 54 Special 48D 264 Nailhead. 3 on the tree. Completely restored. My other is a completely original 60 Electra. 401 Nailhead. 36k original mile.

I purchase a 2.5 gallon conical and 3 gallon fermenter. I don't think I'll go any larger. Just bulky. I'm enjoying the variety with 3 small fermenters working.

I do plan on letting the bottles condition another week. I did move the strip to a portion on the carboy that allows it to lay flat across it's length. As a result the strip reads a consistent 64 degrees on the carboy and a conical fermenter in the same room. Thanks for the tips!

This beer is very strong in the alcohol department. Holy smokes.

Short of two weeks bottle conditioning I decided to try one out of curiosity. No gushers or bottle bombs. Very sweet IPA citrus(grapefruit fruit finish) . I'm thinking another week fermenting would have served the batch well. The carbonation was good.

Beer is like a car. Test and tune. Test and Tune.

Bottle it. Carb it. Test it in two weeks. You may very well be pleasantly surprised.

1/2 tsp sugar works well with all types of brew?

Anyone try this kit? If so, was fermentation very active?

All, if you are considering the plastic 3 gallon get the better spigot. The plastic spigot leaks. I'm getting small drips every now and then.

Nice! Welcome to the obsession.

The glass and plastic fermenter posted few posts back is the NB without the spigot. I like it over the plastic. Wish there was a two gallon size.

https://www.morebeer.com/products/4-gallon-fermenter-lid-spigot.html Hold three gallons. This is a two gallon kit. Leaves plenty of head space so a blow off tube is not required.

Hefeweizen and brown ale doing its thing.

Basement is best. Way back when brewers used caves and or carved out caves to put their fermenting skills to work the temp stays consistent and at a degree needed to brew. My basement keeps a consistent 64-66 degrees. Needed a higher temp would require a heater of some sort.

Place these in a plastic cooler. This is were I keep mine. If one wants to blow then so be it because the glass and beer will be contained inside the cooler.
