Mines actually the 6.5 gallon from Midwest. The next thing I need is to figure out how to start using a hydrometer. This still perplexes me. I would really like to keep up the brewing hobby. What would you guys reccomend I pick up and gain knowledge on to continue to move forward?

That may be the same bucket that I have as well. Maybe going forward I won't monkey with the BMB and just stick with the buckets.

I spoke to Midwest and they assured me it would be a ok. So I'm just going to carefully move it to the basement and ride it out. You'd think BMB would have sorted the issue by now. What do you guys use for a primary fermenter? I might be looking for something better after this batch. I also have...

I just saw this on the Midwest website. I'll pick one up for the next batch. I also have the plain ole fermenting bucket as well. I wish Midwest would post something stating there may be sealing issues. Well this is a good learning experiment haha. Well when I get home from work tonight I will...

The yeast packet had no info on it just as generic as could be. It just said Brewers yeast. I gave the blue ring a twist today and it was firm but no bubbles. The beer has only been in the fermenter since about 2 on Saturday. Maybe my bubbles are coming? I think the basement runs at about a...

Two other questions. I have the bubbler upstairs in tbe dark in a room around 70-72 degrees. Would it be better to move it to the basement where it's around 63-65? Now this one maybe be real dumb but the red cap on the air lock should be on correct?

I wonder if it's worth it. I believe the instruction sheet said to ferment for 7-14 days and then bottle. That seemed awfully short to me. It's the Midwest supplies front porch pale ale kit.

I read online that it is in fact possible to orient the white piece the wrong way causing the seal to not be as good. Do I risk an infection if I removed the cap and check the white part of the bubbler? This would mean removing the. Entire cap, bung and airlock. Would I need to resanitize...

I definitely see the "lava lamp effect". It looks as though there is a solid krausen forming. Probably best to just leave it be rather than removing the cap, bung and airlock? Also is it possible to put the white part of the bubbler upside down? Either way beer is being made haha.

Hey guys first post here from a new member and brewer. Last weekend I did my first extract brew with a partial boil. Everything went incredibly smooth and my wife and I had a ton of fun, were hooked. I'm sure this has been on here but I'm noticing tons of activity in my 6.5 big mouth...
