    Can someone help me interpret my water profile?

    I had my water tested recently and only have a very baseline understanding of water chemistry and what acceptable levels are for different minerals. I *think* my water is pretty good other than being relatively high in bicarbonates and low in calcium. Am I reading it wrong? pH...

    Low alcohol content; why?

    Quick answer please!

    Ok, I just opened my primary fermenter, a plastic 5 gal bucket and am going to siphon it into my glass carboy. I opened the bucket and the kreuesen is still all on the top. Is this ok or should I quick close my primary back up and let it ferment some more?

    Primary and Secondary Fermenter?

    What is that? Right now, I have my brewing bucket that I put my wort into and once cooled, pitched the yeast and waited? Is that the primary fermenter? If so, what is the secondary fermenter, and is that step something you can skip if you want to?
