Oak barrels? How would you clean?
I have read on a few different sites that some people use oak barrels or old whicky barrels to ferment in. Sounds cool and sounds like it would give interesting flavor bit I have a question, how do you sterilize and clean in between batches? Aren't the barrels sealed with just a plug in the side? Ju...

What if it's still bubbling???
Another newb question. We brewed our second batch a little over a week ago and it's still bubbling quite a bit. My question is do we bottle it at the end of two weeks if it's still bubbling or do we wait another few days until it stops??

all the gunk at the bottom
When going from the brew pot to the fermentation bucket, do I want to scrape all the gunk from the pot into the fermentation bucket? Or just pour in what falls in? I used a dry extract kit and hops for the last batch and it looked like there was still some hops at the bottom. Just looking for some i...

Re: ANOTHER Newbie question
Hey all thanks for your help just found out my dad pushed down on the lid which of course made it bible and created room in the bucket for the gas so I'm assuming it may start bubbling again. Or may not depending on how hard he pushed. And thanks for the links! Y'all are a great help!

Re: Do I need a warmer for my fermenter?
It's an amber ale. Ok so as long as the room stays about 65 we should be good. Should I raise it off the wood floor?
