I aksed him the other day about if he has had any explode, he said he has only ever had one bottle explode on him.
how do you tell if the fermentation has stalled and if it has how do you get it goin again, im talking about kit cans??
The danger aspect of this reply is directed at brewing for glass bottle storage.
What if that one bottle that exploded blinded an eye (or two)? It's not worth the risk.
What if you brew the best beer you've ever done and don't take any readings, how are you going to replicate it accurately?
There's a lot of people who buy a carton or two of can kits a month and throw in some sugar for a cheap drink supply, their not interested in high quality or improving their process, it's a necessary choir they have to do. But if it's your hobby & a joy to do, do it the best you can. It takes way more time to do something poorly than properly,
It takes way more time to do something poorly than properly, It takes way more time to do something poorly than properly, It takes way more time to do something poorly than properly, and I can guarantee you that will never change whatever you do.
To improve your brewing copy the people who do things properly, and when your good at doing it yourself you'll evolve your own way of doing things that work for you. Out of form sportsmen always go back to the basics to get back on top of their game, but they can't do it if they never learnt them well in the beginning. Always take readings.
The yeast your going to put in your wort is a living organism that you want to keep happy and brew you the best beer in the world, yours. Give it a good home to grow and work in and you wont look back. The fact that your on this forum asking questions shows you want to to things properly, let your mate do his way and you do the proper way, and if you go round his place for a beer stand in another room while he opens one for you
.
What a rant, oh well,
