I need some help from the experts, and anyone who uses the PET bottles for bottling their beer. As i come by them i am mostly using grolsh bottles now when i bottle my beers, but from time to time i run out and have some of the brown plastic bottles that serve as a backup What i have been...

Hey Guys, I was browsing my LHBS the other day and they had some of the canned kits on sale, so i grabbed one to try out. They mostly had lager kits, and i mostly do ales, so i read through them and the instructions on the Bock kit from Black Rock Brewery said to ferment between 18°C and 23°C...

So i'm sure this has happened to everyone at some point, but i really need to cut back on brewing and start drinking more of what i have. Being fairly new at brewing i am constantly looking for and reading new recipes, and i just want to try them all! One of my problems is that my apartment...

I recently started moving from dry yeast to liquid and have been enjoying the results, but i had a question about the starter itself. I i have an extract recipe that calls for say 7 pounds of DME, and i need a 2L starter. When i make the starter with say 6oz of DME, do i subtract that from...

I have done a few kits now, but still consider myself a beginner, and i am trying a new kit this time around and had a few questions on boil times. It's a belgian amber recipe and everything seems kosher from the instructions vs advice on HBT here except the boil/hop addition times. Kit...

I am still quite green to the whole brewing game, so i thought i would run a thought i had by you guys before i tried it, see what kind of tips i can get before i start. I have a 1 gallon BrooklynBrewhouse summer wheat kit that i am about to bottle, and reading through the cider thread i want...

After looking through the forum and around the internet it seems like for cooling/controlling fermentation temperatures most people use either a fridge/freezer with a temp controller or a bucket and wet towels/ice packs. For a newbie apartment dweller, an extra fridge/freezer is out of the...

I just started into brewing and have started with a Festabrew wheat ale kit, but i had a question about moving it before i bottle. To start it, being my first kit and having no idea what to do i went to a friends house who makes wine and watched how he cleaned/sanitized everything and i...
