Should there be any boil for a LME? I thought that there was no boil needed because it is prehopped and ready to go, but Ive read differently...sort of but anyone have a straight answer? Cheers Cory

I guess i should also mention that i work out of town a lot and am usually gone 12 hours of the day so i am not around to fix things if something dose happen and don't really know when ill be around to rack bottle or even look at the poor thing, so if it sits for 3 or 4 weeks then i find out ill...

I understand that im basically out to do signal stage fermentation in the carboys i just dont want to have crazy blow outs in them, so that's why i figure start in the plastic pail to avoid having a ton of krausen into of my blow off tube possibly blocking it (i haven't had a brew yet that i...

Well shes all brewed and in the fermentor looking good, so i guess ill have to let u guys kno haha Cheers Cory

Also i have been trying to mix up as much of the turb on the bottom when racking to get it into the carboys so yeast will have sufficiant "food" or whatnot As i only have 1 plastic fermentor (soon to be 2 or 3 haha) i thought this a good soulution to just doing primary in 5g carboys to avoid...

Well i have absolutly no problem waiting as i learned from my first 2 brews (2 weeks and i was drinking thinking i should have great beer, dumped it all then found this site unfourtunaly) so i will leave it as long as need just guessing i will leave it in the secondary for 2 weeks see what...

Well all valid points i think and i guess comes down to it i should be able to find a spot for a small box versus bottles carboys fermenter and ingrediants and and so closet will be for brewing haha I was so proud when i got it all set up with my water baths and selfs to hold stored beers and...

but on a second thought it was my first instinct that it would be fine cus no air from the closet should get in but maybe ill see what happens with these 3 brews and maybe think of a solution to make a GF, cat and my beer happy cheers Cory

O well i guess i have to.........kick the cat out haha but she has been good with not playing with the blow off hoses and air locks when they were on the table now there up on a self that she would have to try pretty hard to get at not to worried. Now i gotta find a place 4 3 carboys and a...

Well as the name states weird one here, would there be any ill effects to having my brew set up in about a 6x6 closet that also houses my kiddys poop box? I do all my racking, testing, bottleing, ect in the kitchen its just to store my carboys and fermenter outta tha way(i have a apartment...
