hey! sooo i started my 2nd batch of beer and this is just a basic question. this is not a problem i am just curious maybe someone can explain this to me from what I read fermentation can take a day or 2 to start up and start bubbling. which is normal I waited 3 days and nothing started...

haha @motleybrew you are right. I am in Edinburgh. I am actually from the states but I am getting a masters here. I will see if I can find goof off or something similar to that. I used the chemicals we had in our apartment but those did nothing. Oxy-clean is pretty much non existent over here...

so I will be bottling my first batch tomorrow woot! but I had 2 questions Over the past 3 weeks I have been collecting bottles from neighbors and friends. I finally have enough. I have been cleaning them and removing labels then tomorrow I will do a through sanitation of them Normally I let...

Man you guys are awesome, this is by far the most active forum I've ever been on. You guys get me every time with not being very specific. I was mainly referring to sanitizing. Over the past week I have been gathering bottles , cleaning and de labeling them. So that is not a problem. I was...

As i've been reading through threads about bottling etc i have one thing that I havent really found on them. How to you mass clean all your bottles? Obviously we want them sterile as possible (learned that from breaking bad and you guys :P ) Gotta keep my crack containers sterile as well...

ha well my bad I guess I should have specified "clear" I understand that a stout is black thats actually why i picked it as my first beer because I like stouts. What I meant was that after a while the yeast sinks to the bottom of the bottle and creates a layer. From what i've read is if you put...

I have been reading a lot of threads and finding information on what to do on this. I just have some general questions on this I am brewing my first batch ever its an export stout. The directions are very very vague. From the instructions it says it should stop bubbling 4-6 days which is has...

wow thanks guys for all your response and sorry for a late one. I understand that but what if I keep them in a closet with no light? I went to my local brew store and picked up some caps and a capper and showed them a bottle they agreed that it would fit. I believe these are 27mm. I am...

Ok so my first batch is bubbling right along. While I wait I have slowly been gathering bottles I find on the street. I make sure theyre not twist off (over here in Edinburgh, no one uses twist off anyway.) I had 2 questions pertaining to the bottles/ cleaning. I was going to remove the...

oh man thanks guys for all the awesome advice. This has helped

haha beer grenades interesting. Will definitely have to calculate that. Thanks for answering the questions about the bottling but what about the 2nd fermenter? after it stops bubbling do i just siphon it to the 2nd fermenter and let it sit for longer? then AFTER that put the beer into a...

Hey so I just started brewing my first ever beer. I'm excited about it ; its bubbling away nicely right now. I am just confused about a few things that maybe you guys can clear up. The instructions that they gave me are very poor. So I have been watching youtube videos and reading but am still...

yeah I just took the can out of the trash and it says its a hopped malt extract. sooo they already put hops in it :) thanks again

ahh thanks for that (and the quick reply) well thats a relief. For further batches what should I use then? say if I wanted another export stout (we shall see how this one turns out) what type of hops should I use/ put in?

hey im new! haha go figure same with everyone else in this subforum :P Anywho; ill get right to my question. I dropped by a local brew it yourself shop, and decided to delve into making my own beer. I live in Scotland and DAM beer is expensive here. (I'm from USA where it's cheap) 3 -4 pound...
