I'm looking into making my own Mash Tun. I had assumed that I needed a false bottom, but some of the videos I have watched about making your own do not have a false bottom. Is there a good resource where I could get more info about this? Thanks.

Brewed a Pale Ale 48 hours ago and I haven't seen anything yet. When do I start to worry? What steps do I take to fix it?

I recently brewed my first Brown Ale. I don't have the exact recipe on me but i can get it later. I bumped up the LME from the 6 lbs called out for in the recipe to 7.5 lbs. Other than that I followed the recipe that I had(Kent Goldings/Cascade Hops). Anyway, I kegged last night and had...

I have an Amber Ale that is ready to be kegged. I am new to this and the previous batches have gone straight into a refrigerator, force carbonated, and consumption begun a few days later. This keg I have some time to age it more. So what is the process as far as force carbonating etc. It...

Any thoughts on this. The left picture was taken one week prior to the right. The beer is served on tap. It was very enjoyable with some bite at the end. Then it went clear and lost all of its character. Partial boil. Cascade hops. Alexander lite extract.

I have been using Iodine. The question I have is if there is a better sanitizer for times when I need to clean say one air lock. Whenever I use Iodine I mix up a big batch of it because the proper ratio is the easiest to achieve that way. Is there something else I could get to do small...

I kegged yesterday. Found out I have a co2 leak tonight. Tank is empty. Negative effects onto my beer? I switched to another tank, pumped up the psi to 30 and unhooked the air and turned it off.

I've seen a lot of people using bottles that the apple cider came in to bottle their hard cider. Why does this work? It seems like those caps wouldn't seal that great after opening.

I'm bottling my friends beer tonight. He definitely ended up with less than the 5 gallons he was going for. My question is do I need to adjust the amount of priming sugar? How do I know how much to decrease it by?

Ok. First time kegging. It has been at at 27 psi for 24 hours. 65 degrees give or take. Pale Ale. Now what do I do?

My regulator sucks. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WWLKUC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I had one line completely break and is now unusable. With that said when I replace it I know I want a dual again, and being able to have different levels of psi on different kegs sounds fantastic. I'm...

I am getting ready to keg. I only did a primary fermentation so there is a good bed of yeast on the base of my Carboy. Are there precautions I need to take with my auto siphon to avoid that gunk at the bottom? Techniques? Te

I'm looking to buy one, I just wanted to double check and see if you guys have any opinions as to which one to get/not to get. I was looking at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00186ADYS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Thanks as always.

I've done a few batches so far and I have only used dry safale yeast. Do you guys prefer liquid yeast? What are the pros/cons that you guys see between the two?

My beer has been fermenting for two weeks and the fermentation is at a point where I can keg it. It would be kegged at 2 weeks after brewing. Is that ok? I seem to remember seeing some people say they wait 3 weeks minimum. Thoughts?

What are some of your personal favorites?

What do you guys like to use? I have used Oxiclean and then Iodophor. Is there something you guys like better? Pros/Cons?

Ok. I have a lot of overflow through the airlock. I know, I should have had a blow off tube. My question is, should I add one now? Do nothing? Just clean the airlock? If I pull off the airlock and rubber cap do I need to be really fast in the replacement/cleaning?

What do you guys recommend? I'm not looking to spend a ton of money but I don't want to get a dirt cheap one that I'll just want to replace in a month. Give me your thoughts please.
