kryolla

This is going to be my second batch. A hefeweizen in a 6 gallon better bottle in a cabinet incubator to control temps set at 64 degrees. I got the following idea from watching how stuff works about beer and when kreusen(sp) forms it creates a barrier. I am going to put an airlock on and when the kreusen starts to increase I am going to take it off and the stopper and when it goes back down sanatize the stopper and airlock and put it back in. I chose a carboy instead of a bucket was due to the size of the opening. I don't have to worry about a blow off tube or a big mess for me to clean another reason why I chose a cabinet incubator just in case it explodes it will be contained in it and not be all over the room. I only have to clean up the mess from the kreusen falling on the outside of the carboy. Fron watching how stuff works I thought it would be cool watching all that kreusen form and spill over the side.
I was going to bottle my first batch this sunday but I don't have enough bottles I need another 1/2 case so maybe this weekend I can drink enough. Most of my buddies drink cans or twist offs.
Then for my third batch if my second batch is good is going to be a partial mash maybe in the oven or crock pot if the temps can get that high. That is going to be my extent into brewing beer no AG for me too much equipment time, and variables in order to make an outstanding beer plus I am still studying for my Cisco CCIE
