I didn't measure specific amounts. Just kept adding honey until I reached my desired OG's. No other ingredients. Just honey and water.

I made 5, 1 gal batches of Mead using 4 different yeasts. It's only my second batch of Mead so I am looking for some feedback as to what my finished products might be like. The details of each gal are as follows: 1. Safale Us-05 OG 1.075 2. Nottingham OG 1.085 3. Lalvin D47 OG...

I use a cold water bath with the water changed out every 4 minutes or so. Then, ice and water near the end . It usually takes about half an hour to reach pitching temps, give or take a few minutes.

Irish moss last 15min.

I'm trying cold crashing for the first time on my Honey Blonde. It's been in the fridge at 35 for 4 days now and all it seems to be doing is causing a chill haze. Cloudy beer doesn't really bother me, I just thought I'd give it a try. What's the deal?

I brewed a Cream Ale Friday night. By the next day, my blowoff was going crazy. Now 3 days later, not a bubble. Could fermentation be completed that quickly? Here's the recipe: 5# American Pale Malt 3.3# Light LME 12oz Honey Malt 4oz Biscuit Malt .75oz Willamette (60min) .25oz...

I bought a used kegerator and it was never cleaned after the last keg, so its pretty gunked up in the lines and all. How does the tap disassemble from the draft tower? I'd like to break it totally down and replace all the tubing. Also, its set up with a sankey hook up that I have to replace for...

How much honey will it take to carb 5 gals at bottling time?

The fridge my keg and tank are in will only go up to around 34-35 degrees, making it very hard not to overcarb everything. The only way to get beer out of the keg is by turning the pressure down to like 2 or 3 pound, even off sometimes, else you have a glass of foam. My lines are about 3 ft...

Its in the fridge at about 34 degrees. I thought purging for a couple days might do it.

I hit my 5g cornie with 40# for 3 days. Now, nothing but foam. I know, I know. Overcarbed newbie mistake. Question is, can I fix it?

I got 2 rhizomes in from LHBS. Is there any special way to plant them other than sticking them in some dirt? Is there an up or down side?

I always keg, but that means my brew can't travel. I would like to start bottling a 6er from every batch. How much priming sugar do I use per bottle?

dumb, newbie mistake. any suggestions?
