Haha whoops! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

This is what it's looking like now. Really taking off. Is it about to blow? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I'm getting a lot of bubbles now it's warmed up a touch. I'm guessing I'll just have to keep it at this temp for a few days to finish fermentation? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

And I'll have to look up the bung...but thanks in advance... Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

It's at 70F and starting to bubble more now. And no the inside lock wasn't floating so I've poured more star san in there. It's all these little things... Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

So I'm on my second home brew kit. A Belgian blonde. My first with a carboy. It's a 6 gallon. I think I pitched my yeast too warm and then submerged it in my closet cooler and made it too cold. Maybe I put the yeast back to sleep? I pitched yeast around 74F then placed in my water. Took it down...

Thanks. My OG was 1.62. On the lower end of what was expected. Looking good in the closet though! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

No, I didn't stir much at all. Just let it sit and was cursing at it wondering why I bought it. I'll try that next time. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Well it's fermenting now. Tastes good. Hopefully that keeps up :) if it turns out spoiled I'll let you know. It's at 72F and dropping quickly in its bath. I should be able to get it down to 65f ish and keep it there for a few days. Thanks for the help! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

So basically submerge another IC in a bucket of ice water and run that to the wort chiller? Not a bad idea! Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks. Looks like we're on the same schedule today. It's prob 95f outside but the water is mid 70s. I'll try putting my man hands on and see if I can't get the temp down. I'm at 86 now... Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Was wondering what other options there are to cool wort. I've done ice baths but that takes forever. I'm using an immersion wort chiller for the first time. But have been sitting here for 40 minutes and it's just now under 90F. What else can I do? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Ah, I obviously have smaller milk crates. (Not a metaphor for anything haha). Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Yeah. Crappy thing is, I tested it to the right of the stove. When I put it in my pot on the left it kinked a little, and I turned the water up to high. Got a hose leading from spigot outside. I've placed as far to right as possible and straightened out hose. Now just a drip here and...

I appreciate the fast response. That's what I get for trying to blast the water through. Now it's a slow trickle and doing fine. I initially restarted the boil but figured if it's gonna happen it'll happen. And it was at the start of the boil. Now there is a very small intermittent trickle of...

Immersion wort chiller sprayed tap water into wort once I started to cool it. Should I re-boil? Or is it fine? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks pie man! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

How would a milk crate of helped? I'm new and have 4 so I want in on this... Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Was wondering if they both need rubber stoppers??

Thanks for the awesome reply. I cleaned last night in the way that you described. First time with the carboy so I just wanted to make sure. Also 1 more quick question. The carboy has a rubber stopper. So does the airlock. Do you insert the airlock with its rubber stopper into the carboy stopper...
