Hello, So, I haven't committed to a wort chiller yet (cleaning equipment is already hard enough in my tiny house) and I had an idea yesterday and wondering if anyone has ever tried this. I have an 8 gallon boil kettle that I usually let sit in an ice water bath in my sink. I usually have...

Hey all, I kind of hijacked one of my own threads with a new question and didn't really get a response, so I wanted to post a new thread. I racked my Weizenbock to the secondary, and I have a kind of "mold looking collection" on the surface of the beer. It's hard to see in the pictures...

Hey all, So, I just got done brewing my first 5 gallon extract batch, and chose to go with Crooked Tree IPA. It is currently dry hopping in the carboy. I have two questions really. First, The beer looks a little cloudy.http://tinypic.com/r/14vn4tv/8. It's not too bad, and I figure the...

Hello all, A friend of mine brews Kombucha all the time and is very experienced with it. Recently, I tried it for the first time and loved it. Well the container that my friend had brought to work had a little Kombucha left in it (maybe 1/4 cup) and he told me that if I brewed some black tea...
