Yeah...I left my first batch for 8 days before bottling. Activity on the airlock dropped so I assumed it was ready. I plan to leave this batch sitting for a little while yet...closer to the 20+ day mark. Gotta get my hands on a hydrometer yet Thanks for the comments, guys

I'm new at this, man...okay, what do you mean when you say secondary? I'm running into terms I'm not familiar with...Teach it to me in straight plain English, please. What do you physically do after the 7-10 days? After I bottled my two batches I also let it sit for 2-3 weeks. What do you guys...

This is kinda what it looks like...kinda suspicious of this batch n all. Pardon me for over acting, maybe. Lol I'm new at this :)

Okay, how about I siphon it out of my primary pail into a second one? Can I let it sit in that for a while, just to get it off of the sediment and maybe have less sediment in my bottles? What will that do with flavoring?

Cold...what? Nah, I don't think I can cold-crash. I keep it in a 6 gallon pail, let it do its thing for a week (or more if I have to) and bottle it. I'm just starting up so every batch I guess I can do a few things different

Brewing my third batch now... Was taught from the start to mix and let it sit for a good week; till airlock stops letting off gases. I then give it a shot of sugar and bottle it. (approx 8 grams of sugar per 355 ml bottle) keep in a warm temperature for two weeks; chill and enjoy. What could I...

I'll be using a bottle buck for this batch; will look around for a hydrometer...For temp control during fermentation I have my bucket inside a closed closet set to between 22-30 celcius. I've seen guys brew for years with great results getting by with much less

Guys, I get a nice foam on top, but there's also lots of the yeast sitting on the foam. Can't recall that happening in my previous batches...personally, I'd stir it in a bit; but what's your take on it? Foam will disappear over time, might be best to wait for that instead?

Was kinda browsing threads similar to what I'd like to throw out there... In total, I'm working on my third batch of beer...so I have some experience. I've had a 100% success rate so far, but I'm still wondering where I could improve yet, or maybe I've been playing my lucky cards too much. I...

12 hours later and the airlock is letting off more gasses...Feeling better about this.

Hello everybody...kinda need some help here. So last night I mix my third batch of beer, this is a Coopers Lager now. I had my wort mixed in with water for the 23 liters and added the yeast. To my surprise, I noticed my sugar still sitting there on the table(should gone in before the yeast)...
