what does that mean?

I have marked mine with a sharpie marker every gallon. I was more curious about how the manufacturer determines the what the capacity is. I guess what im asking is why can a 6.5 gallon carboy hold more than 6.5 gallons?

HOw is this measured? I aske because I have a 6.5 gallon carboy that can hold almost 7.5 gallons of water. And my 5 gallon carboy can only hold about 5.25 gallons of water. DOes this make any sense?

IM not sure I catch your drift. the 3/8 is snug in the 1/2? What are you referring to? Which is the best for the auto syphon.

How do I tell that? I have to run it under hot water just to get it to fit over the syphon, I cant imagine fitting something smaller. I dont think its the hose because i have used it a bunch before with no probs. Its weird it seems like it was the beer. I know that may sound funny.

Yea I put the bag over the end IN the carboy. Ive done it before with no probs, it was werid this time. To make matters worse, The hose clamp came un done and fell into the bottling bucket! It wasnt sanitized and I left it in there cause I figured fishing it out would make it worse...

I was racking from the secondary carboy to the bottling bucket and there was so much bubbling in the syphon hose you would think that i was transferring carbonated beer. It was ridiculous. I had a hop bag over the end of the syphon to keep the dry hopping residue out. Am I screwed...

Is using new bottles the better alternative then? They only cost me 20$.

Some one suggested i could rinse them with a bottle washer, any opinions?? I was going to bottle today.

If i use a bottle/carboy jet washer will that take care of it.

the bottles

Help i have Jet Dry in my dishwasher and I put my bottles in there to be sanitized. Are they all ruined or can i save them some how?

I used it and have JEt DRy in my dishwasher. Should I throw the bottles away or can I save them?? some one please help!:(

Yikes thats too late. Can I fix it before I bottle? I wash my glasses with Jet Dry and they retain head fine.

Whats wrong with Jet Dry. ( i put my bottles on the rinse and dry cycle and it does have jet dry)..

Is it safe?

My first 2 beers actually did that after fermentation stopped, the bubbling stopped but left the cap in the airlock pushed up. (I hope that made sense). My brew finally stopped after about 14 days. I actually read in how to brew that if your F.G. is under 1.010 that there is a good chance it...

Was that the Anchor Liberty Ale clone? I just brewed that and it has been bubbling for about 14 days.

Help!! The airlock is still bubbling after 2 full weeks! Isnt that abnormally long?

Its currently only bubbling about once per minute. I may not be able to transfer until 1 week from today, will it be ok on the trub that much longer?
