thanks for the advice! suppose ill just leave it sit for a few weeks in primary then bottle it. only reason i was going to transfer was to cut back on the sediment and allow it to sit and clear really well before bottling. but according to what you guys are saying. that wouldnt be the best idea.

oh wel then maybe i wont worry about transferring it then! since i have a second glass carboy kicking around now. can one ferment beer in that as well. or will foam kind of blow the air lock off the top,lol. i have a coopers beer kit that came with my diy set so if i could get it rolling as well...

actually now im curious. i just tasted my beer and it was sweet de to remaining sugars still to ferment. but my gravity reading was 1.019 -1.020, according to my kit instructions in says in 3-6 days the vigourous fermenttion should subside abd when i reach a gravity reading od 1.020 or less that...

yea thats what i was thinking. but so far i have to admit it sure smells great! im happy to see that although i never had any krausen form at all, as i had no indication of any ring left from it. things seem to be working along great. its tricky being band new to this sutff. as any little thing...

well i just took a sample and tried my hydrometer out. im sitting at around 1.019 so according to the gravity specs that came with my kit. im kind of in the middle of the gravity range between sg and fg. little closer to the fg side. so im guessing things are working along alright. i tasted the...

my temp is sitting bang on at around 22 degress celsius. or about 71.6 degrees celsius. i just tasted a bit of the sample i poured. it was very carbonated,and a little sweet tasting. but it did taste like beer. didnt taste off putting or anything despite being a little on the sweet side. so im...

well i jujst took a hydrometer reading and my beer appears to be at around 1.019 assuming im reading the thing right ha ha. it sure sis foam up nice when i poured a sample and it smells like beer :D. so im hopeful. my instructions show final gravity being in the 1.008 -1.014 range and a starting...

well i made the mistake of listening to some friends who dont use hydrometers,lol. so i never checked my starting gravity. i could take a reading now. but not knowing what my starting gravity was i wont know how to tell if it is in fact fermenting. all i know is theres lots of little bubbles...

im new to making beer. and i purchased a barons beer kit its a double malt kit and was just one big bag of wort. the question i have is. the kit came with 2 packs of yeast. the instructions never mentioned how many i was supposed to put in my beer. so i put them both in. but im reading that most...

ha ha i know its quite addicting to stare at. still no krausen forming what so ever. its bubbling away well tons of little bubbles popping up on top. but no foam what so ever. but at least it appears to be fermenting. maybe this kit will take a couple days. the kit im making is a barons american...

thank you. guess im so intrigued by the fermentation process. that i cant help to keep staring at it :P. im pretty sure its fermenting at least as when i look through the lid there are tons of little bubbles constantly comming to the top. i guess i was just expecting krausen foam to start. but...

im a newbie to making home brew. just mixed up my first kit yesterday .last night there was an ever so slgiht ammount of foam on top of my beer. today when i just checked.there is no foam at all in the fermenting bucket. i am using a coopers diy beer kit that does not use an air lock. when i...
