    First Batch/IPA

    The review had a second picture of this fermenter with a blow off tube. Once I get this fermenter working I will create a thread.

    Picture from a reviewer. Should be a very good 3 gallon fermenter.

    For the price and size...I could not pass it up. I like small batch brewing. https://www.morebeer.com/products/4-gallon-fermenter-lid-spigot.html

    I had read that note of the difficult lid when I was making my decision on purchasing. I agree, the lid is a bit to fiddle with as I "fiddled with it", but the design assures a good seal. I was planning on purchasing the 2 gallon kits for this fermenter. Maybe a 5 gallon kit and using...

    Thus far I'm happy with the fermenter. Should be easy cleaning!

    Water report jargon?

    Period Table of Elements will help with this every time! https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/periodic-table/ Public drinking water is generally good. I get mine filtered through my refrigerator water/ice system.

    I purchased the Brewer's Elite Triple Scale Hydrometer for Beer and Wine. It comes in a good hard case and a cover as well. There is also a conversion chart if the reading are taken at a temp that is not at 60F. The hydrometer had good reviews.

    Sorry all, I was clipped to 5 posts per day for a while. I could not follow up. The carboy is 10 inches tall. I ordered a hydrometer. At this juncture I do not know the length of the hydrometer. But yes, the amount of concern and conversation concerning sanitation of each item used I would...

    The dry hops adding, this will not introduce possible bacteria? Thanks for the tips!

    This is what it looked like last week. A lot of activity.

    First Batch/IPA

    The wort was clean. When boiling much of the hop was left as a ring around my pot. I would scrap it back into the boiling wort though. However, that ring on the pot did not make it into my fermenter unfortunately. Instructions were not clear on that. Live and learn! Instructions have me...

    Hello IslandLizard. The temp control in my basement is very good. No blow off at all. I have not added dry hops. The carboy is from a kit my daughter gave me for Christmas. It is a gallon size. It is certainly short of gallon no doubt and as you noticed. Pasadena MD? I'm in the same...

    First Batch/IPA

    Hello all, I have brewed my first batch. It is a IPA. The picture below is after a 9 days. Fermentation was very active for 4-5 days. Fermentation has all but stopped. Bubble at the airlock has slowed. All appears well in my gallon of beer but I like to have you opinion.
