Used a liquid yeast that was recommended for the beer that I was making. Can you use to much yeast?

Only my second try and I am using not the best gear ( equipment ). Just doing it at the house can't keep the perfect temp. I want to slowly learn and get the needed gear. Thanks for the help.

I am just doing it at my house. If I put dome cold rags or towels on it will it bring down the temp?

It wasn't a lot but cleaned it up. In my first batch I didn't see anything happen. This is my second batch and I am seeing a lot of action going on inside.

I am having some foam coming out of the fermenter. Good or a bad thing? This is the second day of fermenting.

I am starting out with a mr. Beer fermenter, I am trying to ferment my second try with a 5 gallon recipe. Cooling it down now. Not sure how-much of the wort I should put into the fermenter.

Can I just put 3 2/5 of the wort to the fermenter and add water?

I used 2 gallons to start with.

For sure. This is only my second try. I was going to follow the recipe. I just wanted to know how much water to use at the start. I only have a 10 qt. boiling pot. I have started it and have not seen to much boil over.

I just bought a 5 gallon IPA kit but I am only able to ferment 3 gallons. How much water should I start with to boil the grains? I am guessing I can just scale all the rest of the ingredients down a bit from the kit?

5th day of fermenting and I'm not seeing any bubbles on the top but I see some stuff on the bottom of the fermenter. I loosened the lid a little and a tiny bit of liquid ran down the side and had an alcohol smell. Do you think I should keep letting this ferment or start over? This is my first...

For sure. Just wanted to try the most basic thing the first time around. Try to figure things out and work my way up to making an IPA.

It was a Pale Ale. I got the kit from my brother and am not sure how long he had it sitting around. I really am interested in learning how to brew an IPA.

Sounds good. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Think I should continue to brew this or start from scratch?

I did. Started to think that it may have been expired.

Mr. Beer kit. It is the third day and I'm still not seeing any signs of fermentation. I am just starting out. Should I start to be concerned.
