  Can anyone explain what a gusher infection would TASTE like vs. simply an initially
  under-fermented and now over-carbed beer??I can, unfortunately.It starts out tasting like beer.

  You're not being safe here. If the beer truly measured at 1.010 before bottling, your *best
  case* scenario here is that you didn't mix the priming sugar well enough and so you have some
  bottles that a...

  I don't need one this time, but I did want to throw a shout out to these barrels and this
  vendor. I got a brandy 5g in the last go round and everything about it is great. Shipping was

  Just a thought, has any one ever taken a quick read thermometer reading inside the screens
  while the wort is boiling to make sure the liquid inside the screen was actually at boiling

  To brew extract weizens, you really can skip the kits. Buy the biggest, cheapest-per-ounce bags
