Using the the thermometer that came with the kit. It actually says 64 but I don't know how accurate that is in relation to the center liquid temp. How accurate are the liquid crystal thermometers?

Houston We Have Fermentation! Hey everyone, came home today and she was fermenting. I guess now its just a waiting game. I plan on brewing an Irish Stout as soon as I get the Amber Ale bottled. Tempature is holding at around 65F using wick method and no ice bottles. P.S. I find...

Took me 4 hours my first time, which was lastnight.

Tired and going to bed, this really whipped my tail. I did everything to the best of my ability, was sanitizing like a mad man. The sample has an O.G. of 1.042. Is this good?

Ok guys everything is boiling, almost had a major disaster. Girlfriend was trying to talk to me and took my eye off pot, almost boiled over. I had just put it back on the stove and she came in to nag me about something. Well, you know!! Anyway got it off just in time. So far so good. I...

I have ordered the Everything kit from MidWest and I am curious if this kit comes with a spoon or stirring device. On the list it doesn't show anything. Does anyone have any experience with these kits?
