I have the hydrometer i ordered off the mr beer kit - says its good for wine and beer - Also you say no head space? So a 5 gallon carboy wont work? Did some research .... Got ya 2 - 3 inches of head space once racked into a carboy / better bottle (Found these too) - Well All i got is a 5 gallon carb...

Thanks, I checked out everything and looked up the ingrediance on midwest - They have it all and it would only cost me 20 bucks - The blueberrys at my walmart are less expensive than i thought the whole set up will cost right at 35 bucks (not a problem concidering if i did my math 3 gallons = 15 bot...

I agree with the bitterness of it - Though once ya get past the bitterness i think its a alright beer, defiantly not my first pick either but defiantly isnt my last

Thanks Ruski - I did not know :( family has always made small batches since i was a kid Last night I had a buddy call me he repo'd a storage shed which had some brewing supplies in it. Guess what ... he gave me 2 glass carboys (I think they are 5 Gallon), a bucket with a spout, (doesnt say food safe...

Well I tested this theory - With a Miller High Life (buddys brand of beer since he doesnt home brew and wont try mine) We were working on his jeep this weekend rebuilding the steering, and installing a lift kit, he asked if i wanted a beer and i replied yes please ill take 2 ! lol So out he comes wi...

Update: I took a gravity reading this morning, and it's down to 1.040 from 1.100. I will let it go a couple more days before racking off the fruit to a 3 gallon better bottle; I'd like to do it when it's at 1.020 or so. Sorry im such a noob but what do you mean by "RACKING" off the fruit ...
