So I was reading that you need to secondary for 9-12 months. It also recommends using a glass carboy which I don't have and don't want to purchase. Will my beer not come out as good just because I used a better bottle? Oh and I have 3 ea 6.5 gal carbons not the 5 gal which eliminates all the...

Around 69-71

I am not sure if it taste right but i kind of get a bandaid taste. What did i do wrong? Midwest hanks hefeweizen Full boil and followed all ingredients. Sat in primary for two weeks then bottled. Sat carbonating for 13 days. just tasted my first one and it is drinkable but don't know if it...

Same here. Just learned a little about starter yeast and I will definitely research it also. I had a stuck fermentation and it may have been because of my yeast.

While brewing my 7.5 gal kettle shakes too much on my electric stove. Is there anything I can do to slow it down or prevent it?

Same issue here with a autumn amber ale. Sat in primary for 2 weeks and stuck at 1.020 . I bottled it anyway but my ABV is going to be very low. Don't know what I did wrong. That was my first brew.

I used all of the priming sugar that came with the extract kit. Conditioned for 2 weeks and when i initially pour it you can tell that it is carbed but after 5-10 min it goes really flat.

I brewed an IPA kit from brewers best. Hit the OG and FG on the money everything went smooth. I think i accidently left it in the laundry room already bottled and the temperature was too high about 80 degrees with my dryer on. While drinking the beer it is great at first but then towards the...

Lambertville is too far!

I live in Marlton. Anywhere in Burlington county or Camden county.

Anyone know if the Mount Holly club ever get started? Are they active? Or any others in south jersey?

Ok thanks

Current fermentation.

First time brewing and I just put my 5 gal batch in the primary yesterday and it has been busy on a few hours after going into the primary. I noticed a crust at the bottom of the airlock near the rubber ring on the bucket lid. Should I be concerned?

I currently have a ceramic/glass top electric stove. I will be looking into getting a propane burner ASAP just to speed up the process and not damage the stove. Thanks

I am doing the same! Brewed my first 5 gal batch of autumn pale ale from a Midwest ingredient kit. All I want is to see some bubbles and pray that it doesn't get infected!

I figured it would be fine on the burner since I am stirring it the entire time but I will definitely take the advice of a more experienced brewer!

So I got a nice rolling boil going after like 2 hrs...(Midwest kit says to remove kettle from burner when adding LME, which I won't do ever again) that is also with out the aluminum foil and the lid off. Hopefully the end result will be delicious! Thanks for the advice.. I will try the aluminum...

Should I put the lid on my kettle to create a faster boil? I heard it is not a good idea but I am afraid my electric stove won't get a good boil going on a 7.5 gal kettle. Any advice......

I also think i will be having issues with getting a rolling boil with a electric stove. Anyone been successful with an electric stove?
