I just wanted to make a comment that when I look at this forum at work sometimes people happen to see Cheeseheads avatar and they always ask me "what and the f***k are looking at". When I tell them that its a homebrew forum they are like ya right! Sorry Cheese, no offense I hope ;)

Thats wierd when I did my batch I nearly filled my 5 gallon carboy to the rim and did not come close to having a blow out. I followed Ed's recipe exactly.

One thing I have noticed in my short career as a home brewer is I get a way faster and vigorous fermentation with dry yeast or also a starter than compared to a smack pack.

There was a post a couple days ago from a guy in Australia about his batch sitting at around 80 F...Was that you? if so that was why you did not get any fermentation. I may be wrong though

I am definately going to do some research and buy a couple different styles to try this for myself. But this poses a different question... chilled or room temp glassware?

I also read a great idea... cut out a cardboard footprint of how many kegs you have and the configuration you want them and take that to the store with you.

Did you mash,sparge and collect all the wort and let that sit out overnight or did you let the mash sit overnight?

Thanks Ed. I have an IPA to bottle Thursday and will check it then. I am very anxious to sample some of this as well.

I am positive this has been covered at least once in the last 1000+ posts but here goes anyway.... 1. Do I need to wait until all the bubbles stop in my batch before bottling? My first batch has been fermenting for 4 weeks now and I still have a few bubbles rising to the surface. 2. Other...

I know that if you let the water sit out that chlorine will dissapate but chloramine will not. You need to find out what your water company uses. I suggest buying a charcoal filter and an rv hose and then you don't have to worry about any of that.

I was reading an article on the different styles of beer glasses and how you should choose a certain type for the stye of beer you are drinking. I have a few of my trusty basic pint glasses and a couple mugs I like to use. I have never used some of the styles that I read about and was wondering...

DesMoines WA here. Welcome to the forum.

Hello from Seattle. Welcome to the forum and keep us posted on the brewing....

Thats what I use in my MLT and have had no problems.

No you attach it to the racking cane itself so that the beer gets filtered before it enters the end of the racking cane

I thought it would be cool for everyone to see how old the average person was on the forum. me...33 Thanks for the edit Yooper

unavoidable SWMBO loves it... WTF is up with that? I drink instead as well :mug:

Yes, a secondary will really help to clearyour beer. If you want a cheap alternative when you rack to your bottling bucket ziptie a sanitized 1 gallon mesh paint strainer onto the end of your racking cane and that will filter most if not all the floaties.

If you put leftover wet caps in with the ones that were dry then that is why they rusted. Next time set all the wet caps on a paper towel to airdry overnight or just toss em since they are so cheap. This happened to me a few brews ago. Not sure I even know what oxygen barrier caps are. Don't all...
