Sounds interesting. What was your FG? Report back with a taste test.

Well it's been bottled for 2 weeks. I thought I had messed something up and very well may have. But the taste has improved. Holds a decent head. Has a slight coating aftertaste somewhat like oil. Which is probably from my aluminum pot even though I cleaned it 3 times and boiled water in it...

Fermenting at 68*. It very well could be a bad reading or mess up somewhere along the way. Or yeast maybe since it was a kit. This is my first batch after all.

Thanks for the input. Just checked gravity and it's at 1.029 which is higher then I expected. OG was 1.059 which is whats recommended in the kit. The formula I've seen says that comes out to 3.9 which is lower then expected. Thoughts on this. Been in the primary for 2 weeks.

Tomorrow is 2 weeks. So hydrometer test and perhaps a taste then its time for bottles if all is well. Excited and nervous.

Got a nice layer of yeast settling on the bottom (Trub?) So all is well.

Thanks for the input peoples. I just have the one 6ish gallon ferment bucket as it was a gift. Hoping to pick up some glass carboys. I've read a lot on whether to rack to secondary or not. I'm thinking of just doing the single bucket system as thats what I'm doing now and I hear a lot of...

2 days of heavy bubbling. Now it's died down a bit. I'm assuming since the yeast activated and went nuts for 2 days that I didn't kill it. So all good so far I hope.

Sounds like good advice from Ean. It's what I had planned on anyways. But having one after a week is definitely a plus. Thanks guys.

Thanks. If this comes out well I may jump into the hobby a bit deeper. But for now I'm playing the wait and see game.

Quite literally in the bucket. Been interested in brewing for a long time and I was finally giving the chance to try it when my father in law gifted all his old brewing gear to me for my birthday. I just brewed my first batch today. A best brew (i think, can't recall at the moment) kit...

I think I'm set for sanitation. I've got a dishwasher and star-san ready to go for tomorrow. I'll probably have to do a bit of swamp cool bath to keep it under 70 then. With the ac on my apartment cruises around 75 with the temps we have here.

No not a turkey flavored beer. I'm getting all the stuff together to attempt my first batch of beer tomorrow. A Best Beer kit of Oatmeal stout. Extract with specialty grains and I've been reading all I can in the last week or two. I discovered that my electric stove could barley boil a 5...

Lots of Yakima people around it seems. Guess I can be added to the list. Just getting started with brewing. Got all my kit together and planning to do my first brew on Friday. Got an Oatmeal stout planned for the fall.

Indeed. I got that one. I ment if you went public and got licensed to sell. But for personal use. I'd bet any of the boys from Nintendo would love a bottle of your brew. Still a cool design. cheers :mug:

Might get a little cramped with 3 pots up there. And heavy as hell to boot. But looks like fun. I only hope to have a need for that sometime.

If he sold Nintendo would take a chunk outta him I imagine. But for a personal and friends thing thats an awesome looking label.
