thanks:rockin:

I ran out of bottles. :mad:

I'll be honest I would have to force myself to finish a whole beer after sampling what I had. For one it wasn't that cold. 2) It was flat as can get out 3) It was a little watered down tasting.

I'm stoked. I just bottled 48 Pilsners tonight. I had about 3 or 4 beers left over in my bottling bucket. I need to pay more attention to when I brewing my wort next time so I don't dilute the beer as much. I tried a little cup of my brew and it tasted a little watery but wasn't too bad. I'm...

I had a really nasty hangover about 5 days ago. I was hungover for two days.

I've always heard that something in alcohol gives you a nasty hangover.

buckets are cool

I have had my brew in the secondary fermentor for about 5 days now. I put it in the fridge because it was recommended to be at around 40F since its a Pilsner brew. My question is does the light hurt my beer when I briefly open my refrigerator door? It's not continuous light but only 3-10...

It tasted like flat beer I guess. It had a strong hop taste to it.

I'm going to wait till Christmas and do another gravity reading to see if it changes any. Until then I'm just going to let it do its thing.

I did it after I added the water and it was 1.016. I had the same reading before and after for some reason.

I wish I would have done this advice when my final gravity was at 1.018 and it was suppose to be at 1.010

I bought a gallon of spring water. I did two hyrdrometer tests 3 days apart and it never changed so I thought it was done. I should have waited another week I suppose but I'm so new and impatient at this point.

I am doing the True Brew Pilsner kit for my first beer brew ever. I had an original gravity of 1.045 and waited a week to get my final and it said 1.016-8ish and I waited 3 more days and it hasn't changed. It was suppose to get into the 1.01-1.012 range on the brew sheet that came in the kit...

Thank you tremendously!:mug:

Same here. I broke the cardinal rule about throwing away a sample. I didn't want to lose any beer at all.

I'm a little confused. Am I doing the correct thing by getting a hydrometer reading since you talk about clearing up some of the off flavors that occurred. Did these off flavors occur because I didn't use the proper technique to getting a hydrometer reading??

Congrats. I can't wait to make it to that phase.

Alright I just did a hyrdometer reading and it showed up at around 1.016 from the initial 1.045 that I started out with. The brew sheet says it should be around 1.010 to 1.014 though. I didn't contaminate my brew by opening the lid and scooping out a cup of brew to check to do my hydrometer...

I'm so novice I don't even know what the last sentence meant. The package looked like this.
