Cool, I'll give this a shot. I was planning to give them a starsan rinse before bottling anyways

How much oxyclean do you guys use to get the labels off? I did my first batch (60 bottles) in a large container with approximately 12.5 gallons of hot water and I think I used way too much oxyclean (4 whole scoops). After a couple laps in the dishwasher to clean out the bottles I sill think...

Eepa: I know I'm new but I feel pretty confident answering this one. Let it sit. You want to make sure that fermentation has completed before racking to a secondary. Give it a few days and take a gravity reading. Then give it a few more days and take another. If the gravity hasn't changed...

Thanks for the support guys. I think I'll head over there tomorrow to check it out and knowing me, I'm sure that I'll be back with everything I need to make my first batch! More to come!

Thanks Guys. I have heard wonderful things about the Blackstone Valley Brewing Supply but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. How are the prices as far as their starter kits go? Like I said, I'm leaning heavily towards the two carboy set up from Midwest but if they'll be cheaper then I...
