What worked for me is I circulated my wort through my plate chiller back into the wort till the wort came down to pitching temps. Let it sit for about 10 minutes then to the carboy. But I have a pump, dont know if you do or not. Mine came out well.

I second tknice. That is an awsome job.

You should be fine. I had the same problem but couldnt fix it, ended up just putting a blow off tube on. Those little yeast's are hungry and eat most anything.:rockin:

Maybe im off but, if you take a gravity reading one day then do it again the next, and it is done with primary, you should be the same. This is the advice i was given and mine are usually in the primary 2 1/2 weeks to 3. thats when you rack it over. Again i am not an expert just putting out what...

You can weld an alluminum coller to the kettle with threads in it. if you are tring to do this yourself you can purchase non welded valve kits. All you need to do is drill a hole. they work very well in most cases.

I'm no expert and I've only done a couple kits myself, but my local shop turned me onto liquid yeast for every brew. If you don't get bubbles from your bucket you can pitch in more yeast. Did you take an OG reading before pitching the yeast? That should get you in the ball park if it will work...

Well, i have to say this is an outstanding site. I am new to both this site and home brewing. I have an Amber in the bottle stage, only 1 week till I get to try it, and have a Bock in the primary going to secondary in a few days. I am going to brew a Weizen in the next couple days, and Im gonna...
