Good morning, I've been thinking about doing a flavored wheat beer in the near future, either raspberry, peach, or strawberry. I've read a few threads on here about it but I was wondering why when adding the fruit to the secondary it doesn't go bad. I mean, you leave fruit out on a counter...

I brewed a batch of Brown Ale recently and through my 'indulging' I've noticed a difference in the size of the head of the beers. Some are half of the pint glass while others may have almost nothing. So it got me thinking, what would make the head so big on some and so small on others...

Evening all, Im about to bottle my Winter Warmer that has been sitting for about four weeks. I was reading the instructions that came with it (extract clone kit) and it says to add priming sugar to bottling bucket and bottle. My last kit from the same place said to boil the priming sugar...

I just wanted to share a few pics of my Spiced Winter Warmer and I also had a question towards the end. This is me sanitizing my new Better Bottle, rather than waste a lot of water and sanitizer i just filled it enough so I could lay it on its' side and roll it around every now and then to...

I had some DME boil over on me a little over a week ago. I was told in another post that citric acid would clean it up. My stove top is electric glass/some other crazy material. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get citric acid easily, such as a cleaning product having a big amount of it...

I'm pretty tech savvy but I am having trouble setting up a home network in my house. I have a total of three computers and one printer. Two are desktops that are connected by ethernet cable to the router and the laptop is running off wifi. When I go to do the Windows Network setup it seems to...

...I am ignorant to the process. Does anyone have a good website that explains making wine at home? Does it differ a lot from brewing beer?

I am new to brewing and am only on my second batch. My first batch that I just bottled is extremely cloudy and I know that using a secondary to condition would help that. I was under the impression that the beer should be exposed to light as little as possible. So why are clear glass carboys...

Good evening everyone! So I spent my Sunday bottling my first brew a Brooklyn Brown Ale clone. After sitting 3 weeks the FG was steady at 1.020, the listed FG was 1.016 but it clearly wasn't happening. After bottling I ran out to my LHBS and picked up a new brew, a Spiced Winter Warmer Ale...

Good morning all, I am looking to brew up something for Christmas with the family. Does anyone have, or know where to find, a good holiday ale? I've seen some recipes involving cinnamon/nutmeg/etc and am leaning towards those. Any help would be appreciated.

I just opened up my Brooklyn Brown Ale clonebrew that has been sitting in the primary for two weeks. I was planning on bottling this weekend and I took some numbers that are a little off to me. My one rookie mistake was not taking an OG. The OG listed on the recipe says it would be around...

My first brew, a Brooklyn Brown Ale clone, has now been in the primary for one week. I am going to wait until Tuesday (Day 9) and do a gravity reading. If I am close to the final gravity I believe I will go directly to bottling rather than move to a secondary for my first brew. What does...

So I started brewing my first batch on Sunday afternoon. I had to swap out the airlock for a blow off from Monday to today (Thurs). The bubbling had slowed down so I went to replace the airlock a little while ago. As I was pressing in the new airlock the rubber gasket around the hole popped...

I am in the process of fermenting my first batch and am looking to start one immediately after to have ready for the holidays. I have been searching for a clone recipe of Sam Adams Old Fezziwig, if anyone has this it would be great since they only sell it two out of twelve bottles in a mix...

Good afternoon. I'm new to the forums and have two questions for anyone who is willing to help. I am on my first homebrew ever. It is a clone brew of Brooklyn Brown Ale. I cooked everything up on Sunday afternoon and it has been fermenting since. I came home from work on Monday to the...

Good afternoon from CT! I've been a reader of this forum for the last week or so and have decided to join since starting my first batch on Sunday afternoon. I am currently brewing my first homebrew, a clone of Brooklyn Brown Ale, and have a few questions that I'm sure you all have had. I...
