Finally took the plunge and picked up a homebrew kit. Have my first batch of beer fermenting right now. I think it went well for being my first time, have to wait 5-6 weeks for final product .
Anybody else do any Homebrewing ? Any tips or tricks ?

Yes. First of all, you don't tell your beer drinking friends that you brew beer. Six weeks is....I'll see you the first week in June buddy!

I've done it a "few" times, here's a tip for your next batch.
Don't put the yeast directly into the mix, instead put in a piece of bread, flip it over, sprinkle the yeast on the bread, in a day or so when fermentation is going remove the soggy bread.
The result, and reason for this is you will have about 90% less "sludge" in the bottom of the bucket. You'll get more bottles from the batch, and it will be cleaner and better tasteing.

Thanks for the tip Rick. I had never heard of doing that before but it makes sense and I will try it. |

Just finished siphoning over to my Carboy, will let it sit for 2 weeks to help clear then bottle. It smells like beer (no funny off smells) think that is a good sign. Attachments:

Make certain it's done working before bottling, and store in the basement...in case, it can, and will blow up bottles.
