Another question: are racking canes required when using a spigot with a tube for bottling? Thanks!

Question about airlocks... 3-Piece Cylindrical Bubbler VS S-Type Bubbler... On the website I am about to order my fermenter, they suggest the 3-piece cylindrical bubbler for the primary fermenter, but all the kits I have seen elsewhere are S-Type fermentors.. What are you guys' input about...

More questions: 1) Will it fit in a regular 5G carboy? 3) What if the carboys have spigots? Will it work or should I still get at least one bucket with a spigot? Are spigots necessary at all, I just learned about them lol

Oh man, thank you so much for explaining so clearly for such a noob like me! You answer pretty much all questions I had! Here are a few questions for you: 1) Extract kits... At the store, they sell 6G (23L) kits... Have you ever seen this? 2) What's the user of a secondary fermenter? I don't...

Thanks a bunch, I get it now! Two more questions: 1) The fermentor... For 5g batches, how big of a carboy do I need? For buckets, I read it is 6.5G, but the guy at the store told me it still won't work and might contaminate my beer... 2) The beer kit they were selling at this store is...

Ok I am getting mixed opinions here, and I think I understand why. It was not clear to you guys if I wanted to start doing malt extract or all grain brews. Basically, I want to start with malt extract brews. Eventually, I will do all-grain but now, just extract. Do I need a propane burner...

So basically, I need a propane burner and I can only brew in the summer or when it's not raining outside? For 5 gallons batches? I never read about that anywhere before :(

Would love one too, but i'm from Canada too :p Can u ship here?

Ok I went to a local homebrew shop today, and spoke with the guy who owns the shop. He seems to know his stuff very well, but he told me a few things I would like to check with you guys: 1) He says that I just can't use a plastic bucket as a fermenter because I would have to fill it up almost...

Yeah... I guess that's what I will have to do... I've just read so much that I just can't make up my mind... People say that kits are not good and you should buy everything separately... I don't know what to do anymore haha

or maybe this one? http://www.beveragefactory.com/homebrew/equipment-kits/bsg-k6pet-beer-equipment-kit.html

Ok I am thinking about getting this kit: http://brewmastercanada.com/collections/brewing-equipment/products/alfred-beer-equipment-kit?variant=902198683 What do you guys think about it?

Ok I have a big dilemma.. I have no idea what to buy as a fermenter.. And do I need two of them?

Thanks a bunch everyone. I started shopping online and looked at a bunch of stores. The only thing I don't really now, is what exactly do I have to buy? I mean, a list of must-haves? So I read howtobrew, and here is what they recommend: -5 gallon brewing pot (thinking of getting a 8 or 10g...

My god, you guys are like encyclopaedias! Thanks SO MUCH for everything!

Hey guys, I joined the forum a few months ago and went through a lot of reading and I am finally ready to start brewing. First of all, I will need equipment. I plan on doing malt extract and experiment a bit before moving to partial mash and/or all-grain. I have a lot of questions that I hope...

how about canadian online stores?

Wow, thanks a lot for these! Anywhere I can buy equipment other than these two stores? Thanks
