I use a 6.5 gallon glass carboy and a blowoff tube for primary, because yes, I've had it go that high! Plus with glass carboys, you can watch it ferment, unlike buckets.

That seems like a pretty simple idea. Thanks for the pics. I just have to pick up a turkey baster and a test tube now!

That's not a bad idea to just rack half the beer, then take the reading, then add the sugar and the rest of the beer. I think it would mix just fine doing it that way? Is there any formula or any way to figure out what the FG would have been even after I measured it with the priming sugar...

What kind of reading would you get if you measured the FG after adding the priming surgar vs. measuring it before the sugar? I use a glass carboy for primary and secondary fermentation so I can't measure the gravity in either of those with my float-type hydrometer. I measure the SG before I...

Thank you guys

Thanks. That was my initial thought as well. I've only done Brewers Best kits before, and they have 1/2 ozs. Also doing a liquid yeast for the first time. Should I be swirling or shaking the starter, or should it just sit there. I made it about 30 hours ago...

I just started brewing an Irish Stout extract from Midwest. The directions call for adding 1/2 oz of Nugget hops for 60 minutes, but they gave me 1 oz of Nugget. Also have 1 oz of Willamette for aroma. This is my first kit from Midwest. Do they usually send all pellet hops in 1 oz packets...
