I'm just getting back into the game, right now im shopping for good brewing kit. And there's so many different companies out now that sell em. What is the best FULL kit I can buy within the $500 range?
And advice?
And advice?
will a 5 gallon glass carboy be big enough to act as a 1st stage fermentor? I like the idea of fermenting in a see thru container, so I can see wats going on.
Even with that, you might still need a blow-off tube for the first two or three days. I just brewed a batch of a relatively light brown ale which I'd pitched with the Ringwood yeast, and was using a 6 gal. carboy, but when I went to check on it tonight it krausen was pushing up out of the airlock. Fortunately, I had a suitable tube and a large pot to feed it to on hand. Even so, now I'm concerned about possible contamination from when I removed the airlock - it is unlikely, but still a possibility that is worrying me.Get a 6.5 gallon carboy for primary because you will need room for the krausen when the yeast get going.
