I've heard that many people have had issues similar to yours. I got lucky with mine, I've filled it a half dozen times since this past Christmas and it has been flawless so far. My wife really likes it and wants to get another to carbonate other things that could be fun for her as a...

Those are really cool! I also love being able to watch fermentation through a clear container, that's one of the things I love about my little big mouth bubblers. I keep them under a big Home Depot moving box to block out any light, but checking on them each day as they bubble away always...

Thank you all for you feedback and ideas! I haven’t had much of a chance to check back in on this but I have learned some things in the past month, these being the formative days of my brewing journey. The shorter racking cane idea is golden and something that I’m going to do. Since my...

Hey everybody! I've never homebrewed before in my 38 years, but over the past year my interest level has been steadily increasing and I now have a ton of questions about where to start (kits) and everything that's needed to brew beer properly. Been a fan of craft beer for about 10 years...
