I like that Idea. Do you need a certain print program to do it?

Thanks you!!

Oh man...........that sounds like something that would happen to me. Sorry to hear about the loss of your first batch. Hey I bet it will never happen again. :mug:

Just curious does anyone make there own labels for their homebrews or do you just leave the bottles plain for the ease of cleaning?

How about a plastic cup over the neck of the carboy with a small hole made in it, then the seran wrap and airlock? Just an idea........

Very cool....How did it feel to brew again?

Such Decisions..............................Still unsure, after reading Dontmans post I think he is right, if it tastes like crap I am going to be worried I did something wrong. Maybe I should just hold out.

Well....... after 4 weeks in the primary I finally got to bottle my first brew on Monday the first of December. It is a True Brew Porter kit. I was thinking about putting a bottle in the fridge tonight to chill down for Monday night. What I am wondering is if this is not a good idea? Should I...

Very cool.....I am also jealous! I just bottled my first batch on Monday, I am looking forward to that first one, and the one after that, and the one after that...etc.......you get it:mug:

I was also wondering about what RDWHAHB meant...cool now we know.

See, now I was under the impression that Ld Carlson was NOT a chlorine based product, which is why it is a no rinse.....maybe I am mistaken????

Just read that thread on sanitizing Revvy. There sure was some excellent info there. I think I may just order the iodophor or the star-san from Northern Brewer.

Thanks Revvy, you are always quick with a response and very helpful. No, I didn't see anything but the LD Carlson stuff. It is a Hardware/Homebrewshop. Next time I need something I am going to drive a little further out of my way, there is a better place about 25-30 mins. away. Should I not...

I just got back from the LHBS. I went there to purchase a no rinse sanitizer in prep for bottling in a few days. All I saw was a 5 lb. bag of No-Rinse cleaner from LD Carlson co... I asked the store owner if this was a cleaner or sanitizer and he did say it was a "sanitizer".. Now after reading...

Thanks Guys.........I guess I am good to go.

Thank you Revvy.....I figured as much but just wanted to be sure.:mug:

Today my porter will be in primary for 3 weeks. I had planned on Bottling today but I caught a bad cold. If I don't bottle today it will have to sit another full week. From what I have read here this doesn't seem like it should really be an issue. I am just looking to double check with you guys...

Would that be more activity at a higher teperature pitch?

The trapped Co2 scenario makes sense, as the temperature in my house has been a steady 65 degrees since the weather got chilly.Thanks for the replies guys, I can't wait to get this batch into bottles so I can move onto my Nut Brown Ale kit.....I think this is going to be addicting:mug:

I wonder why it would start bubbling like that again after all these days? So I guess it is still fermenting. I did not take a starting gravity when I began, but I do have the instructions from the kit which have the final gravity reading. I will take a reading on Monday to see where I am at...
