So, I was making a starter (my first) everything seemed to be going smoothly until I pushed the stopper( it was sanitized) into the starter after I pitched the yeast.. Gonna do my first all grain batch tomorrow and didn't want something like this messing it up. Should I dump it, or should it...

Thanks guys! Getting ready to brew! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So, I got a brew pot off craigslist. Aluminum. I cleaned it with oxyclean. Mistake now I know, everything tastes metallic. Last week I filled it up and boiled water in it for about an hour and a half, it's pretty grey now. Should it be good to go to brew in? Just got some ingredients and don't...

I brewed this a about a week ago, it came out very light. And I still have some of the grains left over so I was going to try it again. My question is.... The recipe called for 3.3 lbs of extra light dme, and 3.3 light lme.... I think (maybe) that the light extract maybe why it came out...

Thanks everyone! I love this place. You guys are great! And I always take notes, as much as I can! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'll keep that in mind for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks! I didn't think it would be too much of a big deal, but still new at this, and didn't wanna mess anything up! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

just got home from the brew store ready to give a milk stout a shoot. i picked up golden light DME instead of extra light(didnt double check, grr) do i need to go back? or would this work out for me? thanks... grr

Then do I just add to the wort just before sealing it up and letting it ferment? Thanks for the info!

Just started my first batch, and I noticed the yeast that came with the kit (muntons active brewing) says it needs dissolved in cooled boiled water. The directions in the kit say to cut the packet and add to the fermenter? What should I do? Thanks

Had that last night, delicious. Sent from my Trio Stealth_10 using Home Brew mobile app
