Thanks to all who helped put my fears to rest.

Sorry for any confusion. It was 2 weeks in primary and 1 week in secondary when the pics were taken and yes, I did use whirl floc.

The second photo you can see the hop bag in the center.

Does this look like something to be concerned about. It's an Imperial IPA that has been fermenting for 3 weeks, this is end of 1 week in secondary.

Isn't Kilkenny marketed as Smithwicks in the US?

If you keep them in the fridge, they should be fine. Otherwise, you will need to let it ferment out completely or stop fermentation chemically. If you don't and you store the jugs at room temp, they will continue to ferment and pop.

Disregard. They do and I picked up 2 today along with stoppers and airlocks.

Does anyone know if BeerCrazy in Urbandale sells the 1 gallon glass jugs?

All great options, but I do prefer to see my concoctions fermenting and I do prefer to try to do things right the first time to maximize my chances of good results. I have seen that #6 rubber stoppers fit the 1 gallon glass jugs that Midwest sells. I wonder if those jugs have the same neck...

Thanks. Do you know what they use for a stopper?

I just started brewing a week ago and have my first batch fermenting right now. A traditional stout extract kit from Midwest. I think I am already hooked and want to try my hand at hard cider also. Does anyone know what retailers in the metro have apple juice in 1 gallon glass containers?

Has anyone tried using one of those big oval shaped crock pots that are programmable for temperature? The only thing I see as potentially being an issue is that the bottles would only be submerged up to their shoulders.
