yea im working on getting it cooled off now lol. it was at 68 yesterday when i got it into the carboy which is what the kit said to have it at.

So I'm pretty sure my fermentation has stopped though I wish it was higher I'll accept the 5% its at. Do I have to have a bottling bucket and or want or is it possible to make do with just the auto siphon?

Sunday I decided since my NFL team wasn't playing to do something constructive. So I tried a partial mash double chocolate milk stout. I'm positive I did all the steps right. Though I have not seen any bubbles in my fermenter/airlock.
