Just put mine in the fermenter tonight. Hope all turns out well.

I hope it turns out well and I sanitized enough. Will find out in a few weeks.

It is the temp that the sticker thermometer reads. I would assume that is the beer temp. I got the wort down to about 75 and then put 2 gallons on cold water into the fermenter with the wort. I will keep an eye on it as it begins to ferment a little more.

I figured as much. The rest or the process went fine so I think it will turn out great. The tep says it is at 66 right now so that is almost perfect. The OG was also right on!

I use a granite ware pot and it works great.

Put in the yeast and it was a bit stuck together. Is it going to still have the same effect? We stirred it and everything for a few minutes. Is it still going to ferment just fine?

Sweet thanks. It sounds like I can either rehydrate yeast or just toss it in. I think I will rehydrate it. As for the trub I think I will pick up a funnel with a screen on it.

When transferring your wort to primary, do you pore or siphon? Also how do you get the trub to stay out of the primary? With a dry packet of yeast, do you do the water method or just pore it straight into primary?

I have the same kit and am brewing on Friday. While we are on the topic of yeast, where did you store the yeast prior to brewing?

Thanks guys, I figured the ss wouldn't matter.

Can you use stainless steel pots that have previously been used for other things? I know you can't if it is an aluminum pot but wasn't sure about ss

I have enjoyed reading these!

sweet, I will go back and buy it tomorrow

Haha it is 21 and a half quarts

Yes it is a granite wear pot. Big enough to hold water.

Would a pot with a ceramic coating work for brewing?

So basically clean everything like you would any other normal dish, and then store it covered?

After you brew your beer, how does everyone go about cleaning and storing all of their brewing equipment (brew kettle and all other accessories)? Planning on brewing my first batch on Thursday or Friday, and want to have it planned out.

Ya, found that earlier, was thinking about pulling the trigger. Problem is, I don't really want to get a flimsy cheap pot. I would rather spend a few extra bucks and get something a little better. I think I will wait until I find one in a store that I can touch.

Gotcha, I just keep searching online and finding similar kits to mine for a few dollars cheaper and am like damnit. I guess I just need to move on haha
