first i wash all my bottles with hot water and rinse them out, then i make a 6 gallon bucket with starsan water and siphon it into the bottles and leave it for a while to sanitize

i buy mine from the supermarket. (we recycle them here and each bottle refunds you 0,17 usd) they are thick and can take allot of carbing before breaking. So when im drinking my hombrews now... i just collect them and re-use them

hope so. gonna age it a hell of allot longer in bottles though. Thats the nice thing working as a marine engineer cadet. staying away from home for 6 weeks. but im guessing this should age for 3 months or so?

uhm you know its quit easy to clean? i either just lift it to the side and let it drain out, or use an auto siphon and let it do the work.. will work at an even level but slow flow.

when i started 2 years ago with kit brewing (the once i buy is not ****, but excellent kits.. actually drinking brown ale now from kit) i probably saved close to 1200 usd in two years by brewing myself.) Student life you know :P

For me hmm let me check hmm approx 82 usd total for electricity hops and malts and bottles and its 5.3 gallons beer at 9,20%. wheras beer i buy in the store. cheap beer at 4,7% and for 60 bottles is 179 usd.. so for me im saving a hell of a lot and yeah all the equipment i bought cost me a...

if it start bulleling it may not be a sing of fermentation, but co2 released. since the brew still contain co2 from fermentation in primary.

Some god old pink floyd

Some yeast eat dem sugars faster. My belgian triple went from 1.090 to 1.020 in 3 days... ive had beers that took 4 weeks to ferment out all the way before.. but it shouldn't be a problem as long as temp as been consistent and it the right level. ive had brews (mead) that fermented at higher...

Way to pas the ball along... ;) Readheads.. gaaawh

i enjoy using glass.. it has a more classy feel to it lol... naah i have it coz i got it cheap... but i prefer using that then the plastic one i have aswell. and no u wrong... Volvo is the best

lol wut? Most of the people i know brewing in norway (well my friends) uses glass cardboys

I use mostly glass. It will last longer than plastic buckets. Though i have a 30 liter wineglasscarboy with a wooden carry thingy for it i piced up at a 2nd hand store for about 10 bucks. Really easy to clean. and hard to break if you don't starting trowing it around. and plastic for siphoning...

i lost about 1 liter of worth when transferring today. so thats not too bad... well im using wirfloch. thats why i got so much crap in my fermenter.... so im gonna try with a filter next time

Well.. no but i racket this beer for the first time into 2nd fermenter... There was soo much trub.. and its soo easy to stirr it up.. so i rater get most of it out now.. and let it age for a while now. fermented really quick. and hope it turns out well.... if not hmm just gonna try again i guess...

Was not able to sparge... Not enough room under the exh fan and did not have a strainer that could hold all the grains. Im kinda freaked out now that i messed this up. My home brew store did not have styrgian goldings.. so i used EKG instead, and they did not have belgian pilsner but gave me...

hmm will try that for my next brew then. but like i said http://www.bryggselv.no/products/bazooka-filter-30cm adding one of theese in my kettle will work fine as well right?

yeah.. i can just buy a bazooka filter and add that to my kettle. i know the risk of transferring. and i was transferring to 2nd today. and bottling in about 2 weeks. wont coffee filters work aswell?

so after brewing my first biab beer. there was allot of residue that got into my fermenter after chilling my worth. there was cold-break material and hop pellets residue. what is the best approach to avoid this for my future brews? its painfull having to transfer my beer every week to get all...

Hmm i would guess like others here have mentioned that the priming solution is not mixed well... ive had this problem once before. where 5 bottles exploded and a few was perfect carbed for a Belgian golden beer. I all ways transfer my beer to a 2nd fermenter two days before bottling, and add...
