Great, I feared I might have bottle bombs on hand.

I mistakenly boiled for ~ a minute. Will this result in a range of carbonation in my bottles?

What happens if you don't boil it for 5 - 10minutes and bottle?

awesome, thank you.

How much water do you use to boil the priming sugar? Is it terribly important?

Exactly what I did but for the last few switches I mixed salt with the Ice Water making it colder then just Ice and Water (a proven Mythbuster fact).

I think the high heat probably killed your yeast. What are you using as your primary? Being a newbie brewer myself, I can understand the excitement in brewing but you have to relaxe and take things slow. One thing I've learned with brewing is patience. You need Patience with almost *every*...

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=8805&highlight=Grain+Equipment That seems like a good start.

<starts sanitizing a coin> Wait ... that's a joke, right? ;)

Awesome, have the newbie worries ;)

Yep, steeped for 20minutes @ 155

Looking at so many other peoples' secondaries, it makes me wonder what is brewing in mine. I racked it last tuesday, it's been done fermenting since wednesday and these spots have been there ever since. They look similiar to grease spots on top with a few little white chunks.

Thanks :) Now only 4-5 weeks before I can savor it ;)

Ended up racking it this afternoon. Starting Gravity : 1.050 Gravity @ Secondary : 1.010 Leaving it in for 2 weeks, will I see the FG drop much lower then 1.010?

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdBySubCat.aspx?SubCat=11166&fd=1 Is the kit I went for and love it so far. (though I'm already scouting a Thief and another Secondary or 3) 118 when you include Shipping and Handeling. Seems like a better buy then the 139.

SG was 1.050. I haven't taken once since because it's in a Carboy and was going to wait until I put it into the Secondary. How do you pull a Hydro reading when it's in a glass carboy?

I'm in absolutely no rush to get it into bottles. It's my first batch and I'd rather not mess it up :) I planned on leaving it in until Wednesday night then transfering into the Secondary for two weeks. If I do that, I'll have had it in the Primary for 10 days ... is that alright?
