72 hours into my first batch. OG was 1.050 and I just checked the gravity...still 1.050. I did notice a layer of something on the bottom. Is that the yeast or should I go buy more yeast and re-pitch? I used 1187 Ringwood Ale and the smack pack barely inflated.

Just did that. Hopefully it will help. Thanks.

1 more paranoid question. I pitched my yeast at 80-85 degrees. Is that too hot?

I just used the Brita filter. I hope everything went OK because my liquid yeast packet barely expanded, even though I broke the nutrient pack inside. That was hard, but fun as hell. :)

It does taste good from the tap but I usually filter it through my Brita pitcher. I would call and ask for a more detailed report but I'm brewing Saturday so I don't really have much time. Guess I'll just use the filter and hope for the best.

I'm brewing my first batch this weekend (Murfreesboro, TN) and totally forgot about my water quality. Here is my report: So can I brew with this? Or should I get campden tablets or bottled water from the store. I also have a Brita water pitcher. Would that help? Thanks

I am selling some stuff tomorrow and borrowing $10 from my friend so I'll have enough to get the Williams Kit. So excited to start brewing.

Looks like it comes with a 40 quart pot so I wouldn't have to worry about that. Like I said I have $203 right now but just realized I had like $6 in my paypal and am trying to sell some stuff right now to be able to get more money and get that Williams kit maybe. Not sure yet...waiting on...

Pretty sure it's electric. People on beeradvocate are recommending me other kits or saying I need other stuff. I've been researching more and found this: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/beer-equipment-starter-kits/essential-brewing-starter-kit.html...

So I'm buying my first kit this week. I'm gonna get a pale ale kit and an equipment kit that has the following: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BU5IF4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002BU5IF4&linkCode=as2&tag=homebrewing1-20 Fermentation Bucket...
