First Time Brewer
Hi all this is my first time brewing beer. I'm brewing Oatmeal Stout and am ready to get it going so we can taste it once it's complete. I do have a question before I get it going though, do I place the red plug in the hole when I first my fermentation process or do I put it in place further into the brewing process? Also, how do I receive my Beer Borg members discount?
Re: First Time Brewer
Welcome. I'm not familiar with the new fermenters, so I don't know what the red plug is.
For the discount, there's a sticky in the member's only forum that tells how to get it. If you already have an account, I think you may need to call customer support.

Unless you have an airlock and a bung to put in that hole instead, the red plug should be put in right away (now), and it should stay in. It is a venting plug, it will let out pressure like an airlock.
