Yes BrewDemon and Mr. Beer kits are pretty darn easy but sometime you need a little help from the Borg to get you on the right track. Post your questions here!

If I mod mine I'm going to try to find a true valve that I can attach to the bottom, something much wider then that little tube. If your going to use a tube like that I'd go for something more like a 1" blowoff type at least.

I have a spectrometer. Is the way to tell if the brew is done fermenting to determine when the specific gravity (or brix) stops changing?
Fermentation is done when you get the same reading 48 hours apart.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...
