    Adding sugar to the fermenter

    I brewed up a winter ale two weeks ago and overshot the wort volume a bit. I ended up with about 6.5 gallons after the boil when I was shooting for 5.5. So my OG was hurt a little, but it still came in at 1.058 which is fine by me. Anyway, I had a pack of dry yeast laying around that I...

    Identifying Hop Varieties

    I just got about 4 lbs of hops off of craigslists from a guy who went down to Oregon from Seattle to pick hops. He said that he didn't know what the varieties were, but he knew there were two different kinds. So is there anyway to tell what kind of hops they? If not what is the best way to...

I'm pysched, but with my over compensation of grain and increased efficancy my OG is a lot higher than...

    Estimating pre-boil measurements

    I was wondering if there were ways to calculate pre-boil wort volume after you have mashed and sparged depending on how much grain you use. I am asking because I only have room for 3 gallons in my brew pot and wanted to do a small AG test run of about 2.5 gallons to see if I want to go down...

    Bug in my Starter

    During the weeks it took to drink my first home brew I collected the yeast from the bottom of the bottles (I would have done this after primary or even secondary if I had realized at the time, but I was an extreme noob, now I'm just a noob, and didn't know I could reuse yeast). I plan on...
