I used the honey out of the bear. It worked just fine

So my friend recently brewed a Belgian whit beer and the beers in the 24 oz bombers tasted great. But the beers in the 12 oz bottles had a metallic taste. Is that cause the beer possibly laid against the cap in conditioning or a lack of sanitation when cleaning the bottles that produced an...

Cunnilingus

Hoping it clears up well. Not as red as I had hoped for. Hydrometer sample taste good as far as I know. Thinking I will do 3 weeks primary. Rack into secondary and possibly add gelatin. Gotta research how it will affect the beer. And after a week or two in primary it will go to bottling. I think...

O nice man. I was originally thinking of trying to attempt making my own recipe this time but quickly figured out I should try to make this pretty simple as it was only my second batch. Doing this without a recipe and just the ingredients was interesting enough for this time. I do love red ales...

No I dumped my extract right before i started my 60 min boil. The container said Pilsen not pilsner. Is there not a difference?

Hey man I appreciate it. That's pretty much what I was looking for. And my og was 1.61 then added 1.25 gallons of water to the wort to get 5 gallons which dropped down the gravity to 1.51 so I'm feelin pretty confident things are gonna work out. Focusing on clarity now.

No big. Just shows your atleast trying to help. This is only my second brew and I have nothing to go by as far as a recipe im just relying on the wealth of knowledge I've absorbed in the past 3 months(and your help aswell) it came out with a pretty color I didn't expect. I'll post pics later...

I tried that but there were too many options on grains and extracts that my lil noob brain couldn't grasp so I said screw it. Im using wyeast yeast Irish red ale

Steeping grains .5 lbs cara-pils .125 chocolate .125 Munich Extract 6.6 lbs Pilsen light malt extract Hops 60 min 1oz. Fuggles 30 min 1oz Irish moss 15 min 1oz Kent Goldings No clue what gravity to expect. Guy at lhbs told me this would make a murphy's Irish red

Great topic

So the question I have about this is for cleaning my cardboy. Are u suppose to let the solution sit for hours or days? Or will a few minutes and a good scrubbing with the solution do it? I scrubbed and rinsed my cardboy the day I transferred to the bottling bucket with just water but I want a...

To be honest I started to home brew to hide my alcohol addiction. So far so good. :drunk:

When ur sad after going to the aquarium with swmbo and child because u have no money left to buy ingredients

Haha. It would have been a very sad day when y'all realized y'all had been fermenting pure wort for x amount of days. Nothing to do then but pitch the yeast and get smashed all over again
