I drink mine as soon as it is done fermenting.... It's pretty crude though

A good sanitizer like Star-san would lower your risk of infections.

HAHA yea, I like the comment about half a barrel and not wanting to do things half way... Ill let her know if she brings it up again. And I agree that 15 gallons isn't that much, I sucked down my first batch so I figure I would make two batches so that I wouldn't run out! Unfortunately, I...

Well I wanted to share with yall something I thought yall might appreciate.. I live with my parents still while I am going to college and after a couple batches of beer going and a several gallons of wine, my mom made the dreaded remark to me... She said, "I think you need to start slowing...

HAHA. Simple pleasures!

Try putting one in the fridge and let it sit a couple days and see if it gushes. Sounds like that might be the problem

The general rule is if your using a clearing tank: 1 week in Primary 2 weeks in Secondary 3 weeks in Bottle/kegs I usually occasionally open a bottle to make sure its carbonating and to taste its progress, however, don't expect it to taste wonderful until it has been bottled for at LEAST...

AHHH HAHAHAHAHAAHHA! That made me spit beer out of my nose!

I think he might have returned to the ER quicker than he thought he was going to :cross:

That makes sense :ban:

A good idea that I saw someone else had (cannot remember who it was) basically threw a party/ get-together and told everyone to bring a "new" type of beer. No BMC's were allowed and that away you and your friends get to try several types and styles of beers to figure out what you like best...

+1 on the cream ale. I have one in the secondary now and I only wish my hydrometer came with a bigger tube because the sample was great.

I'll give you $16 :D Good find!!!

Just don't open it while your driving... that would be one hell of an open container charge! ;) I would make sure I covered the fermenter and everything else in towels in case the suds started to leak. Are you using a glass carboy or plastic bucket?
