Hi All, Downsizing my operation due to arthritis in the hands and can't handle the full size vessels anymore. All of these were bought new and used for 1-3 batches of beer/wine/cider. (3) - 6 Gallon Better Bottles - $18/bottle (2) - 6 Gallon Fermenting Buckets w/lids - $12/Bucket (3) -...

Hi all, I have two batches of beer going right now (Scottish Ale and Blonde Ale) and I want to try reusing a cake for my next batch of cider. They've been in the fermenters almost a month and I'm going to bottle soon. Are the yeast cakes still good? How long can you go before it's no good...

I've only used 22s and never had a problem with it clouding. Usually just a ring o' goo in the bottom of the bottle. A quick rinse with hot tap water gets it out easily too, as long as you do it right away.

Hi All, I'm not 100% please with the way my beer has been turning out and I wanted to see if there was anything I was majorly screwing up or if anyone could offer any advice on how to improve my process. My biggest problem is that my beer seems to have a "grainy" taste and the body is...
