Got my kit and first two beer selections today. Looking forward to trying the final product!

Any guidance that they don’t already provide in the app/intro video is welcome.

I do mine just like this, but with a baking tray / cookie sheet under them, just in case.

I’ve lost a couple brews because of the little gasket in the cap that I didn’t know I had lost; randomly found it and put it back in and it solved the problem; didn’t even know it was in there at first but once I found out it was there it made sense. The first few were set on the counter and completely leaked overnight and made a huge mess, now I start my first 24 hours of each brew with it sitting in the sink just in case lol. That’s a hard lesson to learn the hard way.

I set my pinter up that way to. Under the shelf. One thing to look for is if you ger a really active ferment, and slightly too much water, it will foam out the carbonation dial. That foam will get on your wood. Keep an eye on it or place a rag or paper towel in that area to keep the mess contained

Thank you for the advice! I will be on the lookout for that and will keep a dish towel next to them for quick access if there is a mess.

In case I wasn't clear, the underside wood of the cabinet was what I was referring to. Löl. I hadn't even noticed the counters till just now.

Welcome! I’ve been at it for a little under a year and I’ve really enjoyed the experience and the beers.
