Hey all, Just a quick note, I've been brewing for 4 years. Started off like all, switched to all grain, and never looked back. It's a great hobby, I love it. I'm set up for 5 gallon batches, so I've never really thought of other things. Until... I just found a 12 gallon glass carboy...

So I have a question for all on growlers. I've been to several brew pubs where one can purchase growlers of beer. Can I use these as is for bottling (would they hold carbonation and work well for that purpose)? I was wanting to bottle a few beers in large quantity (for an evening where 1 is...

Hey all I'm rather new at this brewing thing, though I have a little over 100 gallons under my belt (and around my waistline). Tonight was a great night in terms of success, so thought I'd share that here. I brew a lot of IPA's and Sierra Nevada ales, as SWMBO really likes those types...

Quick question on an oatmeal stout. I started my beer about 20 days ago. I believe after day 8 or so (maybe day 10 - i have it written in a notebook that isn't available right now), I transferred it to a secondary. I was thinking about bottling, due to the fact that I'm getting ready to leave...

I truly am amazed at timing and your ability to stay out of your homebrews for weeks at a time. I have no patience for this, yet I'm having a great time brewing and am looking forward to my next batch. Part of my issue is that my wife likes IPA's while I like dark beers. I have 2 beers going...

Hi all, Obviously I'm new to this homebrewing thing. I've made 2 batches so far, an IPA and a Porter, both from kits. Both taste great, and so I'm branching out to find some recipes and to just tinker. As I look at these things, the details are a bit lacking (enough detail if you know what...
