I've never had a problem with infection, so I'm not sure if I have a problem or not. This is a run of the mill stout, nothing special. Brewed about four months ago, went to bottle today, and noticed mold in the airlock (which was filled with vodka, so that's a little weird). Opened up the...

Here's a thought. What if you were to use root beer extract and sugar (or some other fermentable) like you normally would, but then used some other non-fermentable sweetener, like lactose or Splenda? Is there any reason that this couldn't produce a decent tasting alcoholic root beer?

The brewer in me knows that this won't cause a problem or get you sick, or probably not even taste bad. Rogue Brewing Beer From Beard Regardless, though, I won't be trying it.

I like wheat beers (Belgian wheat, think Blue Moon), so I brewed a wheat beer from a Munton's kit that was bottled at the end of March (I think). Gave it a few weeks to condition, and I didn't like it. There was something about it that just didn't taste or smell good to me, I wasn't sure if it...

I'm going away for the holiday weekend, and thinking of bringing a corny with me, my hope is to just keep it on ice and use a picnic tap. Can I expect the keg to hold it's pressure all night? I have a 20lb tank, so I'd rather not bring it if I don't have to.

Well, new to me. I was looking to convert, and found a unit for $200, with everything but the keg and fittings for a pin lock corny, including a full 20# CO2 tank.

This is for sale in my area: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/for/2966116621.html The poster says it can hold a half barrel. I can't tell by looking whether or not it will fit a corny, can anyone tell by looking?

I'm wondering if anyone has done this. I'd like to convert the mini-fridge I already have into a kegerator of sorts. I'm trying to think of a way to do this with something like the mini keg kit in this link...

I have a quick question about the temperature where my beer ferments. I guess it's kind of two question. First, I bottled a wheat that I had in the fermenter for a week, then secondary for about two weeks. After a week conditioning, I thought I'd crack one open and see how it's progressing...

I have a wheat beer fermenting (Muntons), starting gravity was 1.04. Starting gravity is now 1.022. I had a taste, and it's still really sweet, and doesn't taste like it's even close to done. It's been a week. Am I doing something wrong? Just kidding. Actually, I have a question about...

A few questions from someone relatively new to brewing. I have a Muntons wheat kit fermenting right now. The instructions recommend moving to a secondary after two days (I'm three days in, actually). This seems pretty soon to me, but I've never used a secondary, I've stuck to Mr Beer and...
