old -very old time (circa 1987)brewer getting back into the grove of brewing. I never had a hydrometer before-So I brought all my equipment used off of craigslist pennies on the dollar. so I could not buy one back in the day and now I have 3 lol. So is there a link on what it is for?

hello to all happy wed The parts came in .I have a question tho. where on the keg\water cooler should I place the gauge? thanks in advance

oh, good idea RB. So I am on day 3 of fermentation -6 more days before dry hopping begins! so excited

just wondering /I am in day 2 of primary fermentation and bubbling away quite nicely. My question is how long should I let the ferm go before adding the first round off pellet hops? What should be the total length of the ferm? before bottling

dang on the 0 flameout... The wort is already in the primary and fermenting.what should I do with the 0 flameout hops since I am done with brewing the wort?

12 to 14 days total. what does that mean? the 5 days to go. What does that mean? Then on the bags 3 in total bags of hops, themself are marked 1st bag dry hop, 2nd bag dry hop the last bag just has a 0 on it.

I just put my wort in primary fermentor to(morning)day. it is bubbling away really well. My question is I have 3 small bags of hops for dry hopping - when should I put each bag in?

I think I have a hydrometer. will take a pic after lunch. good news the airlock is starting to make that bubble sound:-)

yes, the people here are so nice -I like that I can ask dumb questions and everybody helps to teach me the answer.

Thanks 1hw !:) I thought that's what the sugar was for. I do have the meter - but do not know how to read it or what it is for. The primary bucket has a spigot should I take a reading?

oh good and thank you vike. I open \ pop mine very early in the brew. Now it is taking so long to cool down to 60 degrees. just put both paks back in the refrigerator. will pitch tomorrow morning.

hey, dead thank you! I just ordered. I know I need a hole saw bit to cut the orange part. My question is what size drill bit should I use for the hole on the white wall of the cooler?

I mash hopped till 6:40 pm /5-hour mash. I started to boil at 6:40 pm northern California and did a hard simmer at around 160 -165 degrees for 60 mins. adding all the liquid malt extract and last set of hops in the last 10 mins with it being at 170 degrees.

some people call it raw ale. I have to admit, it is my first time brewing this style of beer. Not sure what to expect. but so far so good. smells meh not as hoppy smell as I would like tho:(.
