The more I have been reading the more I am realizing that. I will stop by my LHBS and pickup some Starsan. Thanks guys!

I've been reading and learning a lot on this site and I wanted to thank everyone for offering their advice. I have some questions on bottle sanitation. I will be using Easy Clean No-Rinse Cleanser that came with my Brewer's Best basic kit for sanitizing. My question is, should I sanitize the...

I had to do the same thing for my first batch last Sunday. We have a crappy electric range and 2 8-quart pots and so I split everything in half. Worked well!

Wow, great answers thank you! Sounds like I need to stock up on a couple of cases. tbeahrs, I like that idea about buying what I might like to brew for homework, I'm going to try that. Thanks fellas!

I just brewed my first ever batch on Sunday and am already dreaming of starting a second. I'm going to let the first ferment for 3 weeks in the primary then rack to bottles and let it sit for another 3 weeks, taking samples every week. I'd like to start the second batch soon and know I would...

I was just wondering the same thing. I'm a newb and just brewed my first batch. I sanitized and put the hydrometer directly into my fermentation bucket. I am using components from a Brewer's Best Kit that did not include a hydrometer tube.

Awesome, that's what I thought but I wanted to double check. Yeah, I'm glad the SWMBO started me with this kit, it gives us some control (and more of a chance to screw it up!) but was not a 5 hour event either. I can't wait to try it! From what I have read on this awesome site I'm going to...

Thanks guys, FYI I realize now I should have searched first but thanks for the info. I will let you know how it turns out.

New brewer here! Just made my first batch last night, Brewer's Best Red Ale. I'm using the Brewer's Best basic setup. I think everything went well but we will know in a few weeks. I hope to learn a lot here. Thanks! :mug:

Hey all, New brewer here. My lovely assistant (wife) and I made a Red Ale yesterday for our first brew and it's in the fermenter. I'm using the basic Best Brewer's kit and a lot of luck. We shall see what happens! Had to use 2 small brew pots on our crappy electric range but it seemed to...
