Just to let everyone know who helped out (or cared lol) the beer turned out great and the way its supposed to (so I think) Not bad for a first brew! Thanks everyone for the ideas. Anyone have any exciting ideas for a second one?

well I waited a week and its down to the correct reading of 1.011 or 1.012. I'm getting ready to bottle it. I also noticed that after it fermentated for the 2nd time that the stuff on top is now just about obsolete...is it supposed to be like that or did something happen to it? thanks

Its nice to hear that others had the same problem. I noticed it a lot too when you read those instructions compared to on here or on the book. Just amazes me how something so "basic" can be so wrong lol. Yes definatly let us know how yours turns out also

Ok, IM sure everyone's getting tired of all the questions. I"ve had my amber ale in the secondary for roughly 10-12 days now and I"ve noticed that the hydrometer is still reporting a 1.020 the same as what it did when I put it in the secondary to begin w/ I was wondering if it would be ok to...

Hi, I have another dumb question. I was wondering what would be the best way/easiest way to get the beer from the secondary (carboy) to the bottles? Any tricks/techniques would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Thanks guys, I figured that would be the case but you can never be too sure!

Hey all, I have a what im guessing to be a stupid question. I just brewed my first brew last week, a Amber Ale from a kit that I received from beer-wine.com. Things went well I believe in the primary as it was showing good signs. While transporting it from the primary to the secondary for...
