Thanks. Oh man, I hope I don't think of it as hell... but we'll see how I feel in a couple months. So you'd recommend a fridge? If it's just a matter of space and a fridge is a better choice all...

Fermentation Cooler - Recommendations

I'm a new brewer who just relocated from a nice, cool environment in CA, where I didn't need a cooler all year, to Phoenix, AZ. So yes, it's going to get VERY hot pretty soon here. I'll be brewing...

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking/hoping. I mean, there are tons of products out there where people are using other products as raw ingredients and I think it's totally fine. I also brew...

Commercial Kombucha - Is Tea Trademarked?

I'm sure I'm getting way too technical or paranoid here, but I can't seem to find one single mention of this anywhere online, and I've looked pretty hard.

I really don't know if I'll ever brew...

Ah, topping it off, yes - that's the other thing I had to do that I didn't expect. I did a full 6 gallon boil, but I guess since it was a 90 minute boil, I really lost a lot, because I had to add...

So what would you say I did wrong here? I saw a couple comments about mixing the wort. I'm not aware of any step I left out other than maybe doing the whirlpool before transferring to primary to...

Mix what, the wort in the kettle, the bucket, or the sample cylinder? I did taste it, it tasted fine, but I was of course getting lots of hop particles in my mouth, which wasn't super pleasant...

Too much trub to take O.G. reading??

So I'm still a newbie, and just brewed up my third batch yesterday. For now I'm trying to do something different each time (that is, that involves at least a couple new processes).

My first was a...

Okay well that sounds good. I should allow it to warm before transferring to the priming bucket, throwing in the sugar and bottling though, correct?

Clarity would definitely be nice. Each time...

Bottling Timing / Temp Issue

My very first batch, an American IPA kit from Williams, is close to being ready to bottle. The estimated FG according to them is 1.022 and the last reading I took on Saturday night was 1.020, which...

I've been looking into clubs in my area, but don't plan on going until I have at least a few brews done, so I'm not totally lost with nothing to offer. Sonoma Beerocrats does sound like a good one -...

Thank you all so much for the advice! I would say I should for sure do a couple more extract batches - well, extract with some specialty grains to see how that works. And of course I need to at...

Yeah, actually I've been looking into small batches quite a bit - not just for experimentation, but also because 5 gallons is a ton of beer. At least it SEEMS like a lot, knowing that it's about 8-9...

Yeah, I definitely think I'll stick with the basics at least for a couple more batches, to be sure I really do have all of it down. I'm not knocking extract or anything - I just think I'll have more...
