I'm sure most homebrewers have to deal with this, but I have been noticing a lot more people who have been nicer to me since they have tasted one of my homebrews. My co-workers especially. This is obviously one of the perks and problems of creating high quality homebrews on a regular basis...

I just kegged for the first time and I am kind of nervous about if I did everything right. I filled up a an old coca-cola cornie with my wheat beer, which has been in the secondary for about 7 weeks. (it took me that long to get valves for my keg) I added about 1/3 cup of corn sugar too...

Has anyone ever gotten into canning their beer? I want to put my beer in cans.

Hello, My name is Tim and I am making beer later today. I made beer a few times when I was living in Memphis, TN. I recently moved to Erie, PA and will be making beer for the first time since I moved. It's been some months since I made beer, but I hope that I start making it pretty...

I am a newbie with 2 questions as I wait for my first batch to finish carbonating. Looking back on how I made my beer I can now think of things that I would have done differently. One thing I didn't do was use a hydrometer. I did a lot of reading and research and decided to leave it in...

Well, I made my own first batch of beer. Now I wait as it carbonates. I held a bottle up to the light. It looked like it had clouds in it. I can only assume that means my first batch of beer won't be as perfect tasting as I used to dream while I stared into the glass carboy night after...

This is my first batch. Last night I transferred my beer from primary fermenter (bucket) to secondary (glass carboy). As the carboy was getting filled closer and closer to the top with my future beer I knew it wouldn't all fit. There was about 3/4 inch of beer on the bottom of the bucket...

Well, as of now it will be 60 hours (2 and 1/2 days) since I pitched my yeast. After a day, I saw signs of fermentation... the foam on top and crud on the sides. Yet I saw no airlock bubbles. I took my sanitized beer spoon and mixed it all up. I peaked under the lid last nite (48 hours...

This is my first batch. As of now (8am) my beer has been fermenting for just shy of 36 hours. I have yet to see any bubbles come from the air lock. A few minutes ago I opened the lid and saw a thick layer of foam and what kind of looked like yeast looking stuff resting on the foam...

Does anyone else have this problem? I can't stop looking at my beer. It's just a bucket, but I can't turn away. I am amazed that I made something that will eventually get me drunk. I am a first time brewer. Ever since I put my wort in the primary fermenter I have been sitting in front of...

I have never bottled before. Soon I will be bottling my first batch. Am I able to cap on bottles that were twist-offs like old Honey Brown or Budweiser bottles? Does it matter if they're twist off bottles or not? Is there a type of beer bottle that you prefer? Should I buy new ones...

This is my first time brewing. After I made my mort I didn't have any way to cool it down. I had no ice in my freezer. I read that you weren't supposed to pitch the yeast until the mort was about 70 degrees. I also read that you should not wait more than 90 minutes before you pitch your...
