@rappy90 it doesn't need to be in the dark, just no direct sunlight or fluorescent light, to avoid photochemical reactions of the hop compounds. This is to avoid getting 'skunkiness' (think heineken from a grocery store).
This is also why you should bottle your beer in brown bottles, as brown glass blocks the blue light wavelengths and ultraviolet that cause beer to become 'skunky'.
That is very neat. Especially watching the yeast go from slow and sleepy to "Weeeeee! Sugar!" and then back to ":::Yawn, I'm tired now." Kind of like kids I guess.
Cool! Currently fermenting a Checo Pilsner. Little excited as this is the first time I've broke away from a printed recipe and added 1lb of honey. Not sure what it's going to be like. I'm sure I'll drink it good or bad.lol was told 1lb is a good starting point... Small change on taste.
@siborg71 6 gallon 45 dollars not cheap but I'm sure if you go garage sell on your weekend you may be able to find some thats how I got most of my equipment.
wow, awesome video!

@meerkatlibrarian a great place to get bottles is your local recycling center.

The instructions I been following told me to cover mine with a trash bag or keep it in a dark spot, basically out of light, does it really matter?

@galanisj Might be dangerous yet, usually people wait until it makes 1 bubble per minute. It wouldn't matter if you kegged it.

@makemebreakme I think it was about 4 days. It was a while ago now.

I can't see the trub layer because there's a note at the bottom that says "For more movies, recipes, and a live discussion"

@threeseriesftw I moved it to the top, but as it turns out, you cant really see the trub anyway.

@nodogyougay48 I've borrowed a 23L "better bottle" from my brew club. Pretty sweet, real easy to clean. They're about $50 over here in Australia.
