I just brewed my first batch and I am so excited for this to be my new hobby. I’d love to hear some first hand knowledge anyone has built up.

    I barged in here just based on the title, all ready to open up about my failures in life. Then I read the post text about brewing a batch and got very confused, and only then realized which community this is.

    Underestimated the effect of elevated outside and thus room temperature and got very close to making vinegar.

    Failed to burp my growlers and my 1 gallon exploded during second fermentation. Fortunately, I keep them in a plastic tub in the basement, so the mess was contained.
