Thanks
I just have one question... the only way i have to keep the temp stable is to ferment it in the house I have it in one of those soft coolers zipped up almost all the way. Could this be risking a huge mess?I'm going out of town for a week and I don't want that shit to explode all over my house lol. |

I once left for a few days and it blew just hard enough to blow all the water out of my air water -lock, and ruined a batch...i dont think you could make too much of a mess tho besides a little spilled brew If you are past the violent stage, you SHOULD be ok....maybe just leave your heater at like 61 ? When are you leaving??

Also you could build a bigger fermentaion lock thats more fail proof:

you should be good by then, especially if you build/use a larger water lock like the one above

Poured my first glass of dry hopped California Common/ Steam beer.
It is a hopped up version of Anchor Steam. I kept my house at 65 degrees for 3 weeks for this beer to ferment properly. Now I can finally reap the rewards (and turn up the thermostat). I highly recommend dry hopping if you love that flowery aroma. |

I can't remember the name of the place I first ordered from, but I've been using Midwest Supplies the last few brews.

Man, I need to knock out a few batches. My carboys are out there collecting dust.

Me too. Been about 3 years since I've brewed.
