Siyo.

I purchased the Brooklyn Brew Shop kit yesterday, it should be here next week. I’ve never home brewed, but I look forward to the challenge. I plan to speed up the fermentation process by racking into my uKeg 128. According to BBS site, it’s take 2 days instead of 10-14. Guess we’ll see. I’ll start with premixes and small batches first, then work my way upwards as I gain confidence.

I was wondering if there is a place or book to learn terminology/brew processing basics?

Also, has anyone used a uKeg 128 to speed up the fermentation process?

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Edit: I meant to say, I intended to speed up the carbonation process by force carbonating with my uKeg.
 
Welcome to the Madhouse/funhouse (It is what you chose to make of it ;) ) Just a heads up though: If it's beer you're brewing, I don't care what the 'technology' is behind it; It will taste terrible or at least raw after only 2 days... I highly recommend the center of the homebrew universe: the John Palmer site.. sorry I don't have a link, but someone's bound to post it here or you can just search "John Palmer How to Brew".. The site seems to always be evolving or even changing domains, but it either contains 'Everything', or gives you the language and concepts to do the deeply detailed learning... certainly has more than enough well-rounded information to get anyone brewing successfully.
Cheers!

I’ll have to check it out, if I can find it. Cheers!
 
Welcome from Missouri, neighbor.

Here are links to a couple of books. I prefer "The Complete Joy Of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian, and as mentioned above, John Palmers "How to Brew". The first edition is free to download, but I would recommend the fourth edition. It's more up to date.

Good luck and keep us posted of your progress. Cheers!

Howdy neighbor! Thank you for the links, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m excited to start my brewing journey. Cheers!
 
It’s been awhile. A lot of life changes since I last posted. What’s crazy is my first post on this site, is close to my first child’s birth. Crazy.

Well I finally had an official brew day. I enjoyed the process and look forward to brewing more recipes. Here are a few photos from the day.

Jalapeño in your first beer, huh? Going a little unorthodox out the gate. Welcome!
It’s the kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop (Jalapeño Saison). It was a cool learning experience. All grain, adding ingredients at specific time points in the boil. I look forward to the next round and adding my own twists and flavors eventually. I’m glad I bought the INKBIRD. It’s been helpful with temp control for sure.
 
Wow, a lot has changed since my last post.

- First time father (future brew hand).
- Graduated from BBS kits to the Brewzilla Gen4 35L system.
- I recently purchased kegging equipment (not a fan of bottling).
- I have successfully sourced my own ingredients and brewed a delicious Hazy IPA.
- I also have a dedicated room now for my equipment/brew days.

As you can tell, I’m hooked on brewing 🤪
