So while I was adding the final hop pellets and adding my .75 lbs of sugar, I stirred the wort while in the kettle. I think I shouldn't have done this. I than transferred the wort into primary and it was a freakin pain. I seemingly mixed the trub/sludge into the wort mixture. It was soooo hard...

So I am getting ready to brew my 3rd batch and I want to know what you guys think about the Brewcraft kits. I am thinking about the Rogue dead guy ale kit.
