Hello im new.

[Brewjitsu]

I'm from AZ and only started brewing for a month. Started with an expired Mr. Beer kit. That was a disaster. Blew a bottle any many other issues on that experience. Thank god my wife can be patient. I thought my hobby was over before it could start. I went to my local homebrew market. Listened to the advice and started with a new kit. I made a chocolate stout. It came out around 4.5% (rushed it on fermentation)but taste so good and now i'm hooked.

Nice to meet you New.

Welcome to HBT.

Even though you didn't ask, I'll warn you about rushing fermentation (assuming you're bottling). Make sure the gravity is stable for 2 - 3 days before bottling or you could have bottle bombs.

Good luck with your brewing.

Thanks I didn't know that. My og was 1.056 fg was 1.028 needed to be 1.020 thankfully the bottles didnt blow. Had them bottled for a week.

I really hate to start off on a negative note, but at a week they are still not fully carbonated. Be extremely careful with them. You don't want to start off by getting injured.
