I'm of the same mind you are. This past Tuesday I brewed my BBS Everyday IPA kit and that was all grain. I know it only makes one gallon and if you do a bigger batch all that water can become unwieldy but I'm sure some folks can work it out.

Installed the airlock. I know it says to fill up the airlock to the line with sanitizer but there isn't a line shown on it. I just filled it up halfway and hope for the best. Still seeing some bubbles in the wort just no big bubbles gurgling in the airlock. Oh well. Its difficult being patient.

Cool. Tonight will be 72 hours. Last night I checked and could still see some tiny bubbling in the fermentor so no big deal.

I brewed and carboyed my EIPA late Tuesday evening and it took about 18 hours for the fermentation to get rocking and rolling (2 bubbles/second). I had to replenish the sanitizer that was connected to the blowoff because it got cloudy. However, the bubbling has subsided to where I'm not seeing...

I went on Craigslist and just missed out on 2 cases for $14 so that could be an avenue to try. Also of course is keeping your empty pop tops. I've heard mixed reviews when it comes to screw off bottles so be cautious.

Ill go with the Seahawks because I like underdogs. I guess that's just the Rocky fan in me. The only talking points lately have been about Richard Sherman but I can dig it if someone wants to show some fire on the field. It sure beats the pattycake that goes on most Sundays. I mean honestly how...

18 hours later and the fermentation has started. It's around 68° If the blowoff invades the blowoff tube and the sanitizer water, should I clean the tube and replace with new sanitizer?

Wow Fats that is some "outside the box" thinking if I ever saw some but it a good way. What are you using to cap those jugs? I'm in San Antonio so we have the exact same apple juice jugs here also and I could use some extra fermentors.

Hey man that's a good tip! I think I will try that next time to stay consistent. One thing that I didn't get to do is check the OG. I forgot to get a test tube for my hydrometer so ill have to check the FG when its done fermenting.

Couldn't take it any longer so I pulled the trigger and brewed up my Everyday IPA tonight. I had no idea the mash would smell that delicious. Had a bit of trouble initially keeping it between 144 and 152 but nothing burned or anything and eventually I got it under control As for the sparge, I...

I dig the 80's version. Just the simple fact that it wasn't a monster flick where a monster hides in the shadows to grab people then hides again was awesome. Also the part with the defibrilator was downright scare the crap out of you goodness. Haven't watched the new one.

I have never made bagels but have always wanted to lol. Good to know about the ease of brewing.

Sounds good to me guys. Kind of figured that when a person, for example, makes bread they learn about controlling temperatures so that you don't murder the yeast. Or something simple as making oatmeal. Plus it also helps that if a person cooks well alot of times they already have stockpots...

Any day now I'm gonna start brewing my BBS Everyday IPA and it got me thinking. Does being a good cook before getting into homebrew ease some of the worry associated with being a newbie. I've been cooking since I was 6 (I'm 30) so T.G. turkey, BBQ, scrambled eggs, steak or cake doesnt phase me...

Thanks Leesmith! Ill be sure to write that down so I won't forget.

Hey VG! I'm actually about to start brewing my Everyday IPA in the next few days . You wouldn't by any chance know what the OG and FG are for this brew. I'm gonna get an auto siphon too in addition to a hydrometer.

Well the Everyday IPA kit comes with the 1 gallon ferment container, plug, airlock, racking cane, tubing and clamp, sanitizer, thermometer, yeast and grains. Also I have a whole bunch of large SS pots so that's not a problem. I checked out Homebrew Party and it seemed like the folks were...

Nope San Antonio :) . The kit didn't come with any bottles, caps or capper and I need a strainer so until I get paid I'm doing research.

Hello there! I'm new to the homebrew hobby here in Texas also.

Hello everybody I'm Joey. This past Christmas I received the Brooklyn Brewshop Everyday IPA kit from my sister. I've been doing some research because as usual she gave me a white elephant and I wanted to make sure I had everything correct before I started brewing. My travels through the internet...
