Glass Milk bottles? Those twist off caps are not very good for bottling because they don't hold as much pressure. As Brandon mentioned, they might be useful for doing yeast starters. The test batches would have to be super small though. |

5 or 6 Gallon Glass Carboy If you are the type that likes to add things to the secondary, it might be beneficial to have the extra head space. My 5 gal usually works fine. If I add lots of hops, fruit, etc I will use a blowoff hose. |

5 or 6 Gallon Glass Carboy If you only plan to use it as a secondary, you will want to go with the 5 gallon. Less head space = less oxygen. |

Proof dry yeast, or just pitch it? If you decide to rehydrate your dry yeast, you want to make sure everything is sanitary. I usually use a small pot to boil water and then I keep the lid closed until it has cooled down to pitching temp. Then I rehydrate the yeast with the cooled water in a sealed container. |

How would you ship your brew? This only refers to mailing via USPS. It is only against company policy to ship alcohol via UPS or Fedex. So it isn't breaking a law if they catch you. |

Resources for Record Keeping? Is the free software a demo version? The page says that it costs 15 USD. |

Resources for Record Keeping? While all of the pdf solutions were similar (thanks divided and Nicholas) I liked how much information this brew log covers. Its well organized and the graphing areas are a nice touch. |

How do you cool wort? Note on sanitizing the immersion chiller - You can just put it into the boil for a bit and it will sanitize it for you. So pretty easy all in all. |

Resources for Record Keeping? Sorry if this looks like the same question as homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/310/… I intended this to be about record keeping on paper and didn't think it would overlap with the question about doing it online. |

Removing Fruit From Secondary I use glass, but that's good advice regarding the scratches in plastic. I ended up using PBW and soaking it overnight. It pretty much broke up on its own after that. I am going to give you the answer because of the scratches comment. |

Help! My secondary fermenter exploded! Fish is right on with the airlock getting clogged. When adding things like hops into the secondary it is easy to overfill and the hops probably blocked the bottom of the airlock. I had this happen with my very first batch (in the primary though). I have always used a blow-off hose after that. |

Book for beginners I bought this when I was first starting out and have it on hand during every brew session just in case. Its great for a quick reference and/or for a read through. |
