That cleared up! Will wait some more for the first try. Don't have a capper yet, that´s why the plastic bottles...

Was worried because of the color. Not clear at all!

Thanks for the answers! Since my goal is to make some pale ales and IPA´s I´ll stick to the 5%-10% of specialty I added some specialty to my second batch, a bit less than 5% (I guess I wasn't that off) so I´ll wait to try it in a couple of weeks to see the difference from the first batch which...

This is my setup for fermenting (it's a closet so no light comes in)

1st batch. Color changed after a few days, got lighter

Just some picks of my first ever beer making experience

The darker one is my second batch. The one behind is the first

Hey! It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update. I finally bottled my first batch this Saturday and I have to say that first times (brewing and bottling) are verystressful processes (worried about bubbles, contamination, you want to try it…). Didn’t have an auto siphon so the process was a...

Did my first brew this weekend! What an experience, never imagined that it was going to be that nerve wrecking. I mean I did enjoy it and all, but there are so many things to do that my mind was on over drive. I guess the more I brew the easier it will become and since I wrote down everything...

Thanks for the suggestions dicko & Truman. The temperature here has been around 28°C and 29°C and I can´t get a fridge yet but I'm planning on it. Sounds like I´ll be putting my fermentor in a tub with water and a towel over it and leaving a frozen bottle of water in the cupboard during the day.

Hey there. Can someone help me with this issue, I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Venezuela is a hot and tropical country (maybe not as hot as Australia) and I don’t have air conditioning in my apartment, only ceiling fans. I´m a bit concerned about my fermentation temperature (I´ll be...

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at a thread by chiller who gives some good instructions on how to do this. Luckily finding yeast is not a big problem, but this solution might help me cut down on expenses. I'll have to continue reading on the subject.

Thanks for the warm welcome! It’s nice to see that most of you know about Venezuela´s women (Mardoo yes they are very fine), attractions (booargy you´ll have the time of your life in Salto Angel) and lifestyle (Briebi G don´t trust every survey you read). Hola Phoney, todo bien, y tu? I´ve heard...

Would like to start by saying you guys have a great community of beer crafters. I've been reading your forums for a while and finally decided to join since I'm a few weeks from brewing my first BIAB. I live in a country called Venezuela located in South America and home brewing is a new thing...
