First time working with pumpkin this past October. We made a partial mash, and then were really busy and just now am getting around to hopefully bottling it. Today I opened up the primary, and noticed a light gray film almost across the top. Never seen something like it, so my guess is it...

Hey guys- I don't want to go all the way to the beer store today, but want to bottle I have a batch of beer(5g) from about march, then a batch of aplewifein(~4.8g) from december(ya its old). Think about 7oz is enough priming sugar? Trying to figure this one out. If it is what do you think...

So I just opened my latest AG batch of beer, and it seems that when I go to pour or even just leave it in the bottle it just foams up a ton. It foamed out of my bottle and filled an entire pint cup(in foam) and still more than 3/4 full in the bottle. Ideas? I do know how to pour a beer... Daum

So I had this in my primary for about a week...a day or so after I added the yeast I had bubbling for maybe one day..then it stopped hasn't bubbled since. Today I moved it to the secondary and at the very end(some trub mixed in) i took the FG and it showed up at about 1.05 or so. The yeast I...

What do you guys think? Could it be good? It has been about a week was thinking about adding it to the carboy for flavoring? Maybe a tad bit of nutmeg? thoughts? suggestions?! Daum

I have some apfelwein brewing and i guess i filled the carboys a bit too high and the airlocks i noticed today have junk in them from the fermenting...should I change them out or is it not to worry? Thanks, Daum

brain- I think i'm going to try yours...hopefully this will go well Daum

On my fourth batch of AG, been just doing different variations of Edworts pale ale. Looking for a darker beer or just a really good other AG beer that is preferably higher ABV. Preferably not too many ingredients, and fairly easy to make. Thanks, Daum

I am going to be bottling today and in the past I have always just did a random amount of time in bleach water for my bottles. How long do you guys suggest I put my bottles in the bleach water for? Thanks, Daum

just before i make this i bought motts apple juice doesn't say anything about preservatives on the bottle but does it have them? Don't want to ruin the apple juice if i bought the wrong type. EDIT: Quick search of motts.com shows that it doesn't have any...good! Thanks, Daum

I was going to follow his recipe but saw you could use brown sugar instead of corn sugar. When I was at the store didn't remember how much sugar so I bought 4 pounds. Any reason not to put this much in? Will it affect the taste or just ABV? Daum

3 carboys, co2 regulator, 20 pound co2 thank, 1 corny for 100? Daum

So after my first experience with AG which went ok, but this second one went great well for the most part. So i got my new hydrometer (6 bucks, what a killer) and went to work. I used eds haus recipe except used 4oz hops, 9lbs 2row, 2.5 vienna. The whole thing went really well, and when i was...
