Okay so like the title says.... I've got a pilsner (I know it should be wheat but I like trying new things:rockin:) fermenting in the primary right now (day 2). I plan on waiting about a week and then adding fresh rasberries. The last time I tried this I microwaved the raspberries for 5 min...

I've been looking around for an easy fraboise recipe for my wife and was hoping for some assistance. I've looked around the net and got a start on my plans but I trust you guys here for a more definitive recipe. Here is where I'm at: 5 gallon batch of either a pale ale or wheat beer to...

Well that's the question... I sometimes depending on ready beer supply and beer needing to go into the fermenter will rack to the carboy and add gelatin to help clear it. I don't do this during the main fermentation phase but even once its been settled for a few days there is still some residual...

Anyone got a good link for saving and storing yeast? I've been making brewhouse beer kits mostly and they come with generic coopers yeast which works okay but I'd like to actually use some higher end lager and ale yeast. The only problem is I'd have to mail order them at about 15 bucks each so I...

I've been using gelatin finnings to help clear my wine for quite some time and started using it for beer and I'm quite happy with the result. The beer clears much faster and I think has a nicer look to the finished product.. Anyways my question is can I use regular food grade gelatin or do I...

Man I just pour'd my first glass of this kit and just love it! (okay I'm on glass 2 now) While I don't consider it a true IPA (needs a bit more hops and alc) it sure is good. K

Just an fyi for anyone who hasn't tried it. I've gone through a few kegs now with 100% success and discovered that gelatin finnings help the beer clear in about 2 weeks rather that 3-4 before kegging. Its very easy: rack beer into secondary at say day 5. Boil about half a cup of water mix...

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me. I have a #5 tank which they filled to 800psi. That put my regulator at just a little into the green zone which seems like they shorted me. What kind of PSI should it be filled to? Also I'm through 2 kegs now and down to 600psi. Is...

Hi all probably a canuck question but you never know... I've made quite a few brewhouse kits and would like to try some festa brew kits but can't seem to find them anywhere at a decent price on vancouver island.... There is one guy in Nanaimo who sells them but he is charging 40+ per kit which...

I'm toying with the idea of filtering my beer so its clear... I've always bottle conditioned until recently so it wasn't really an option. I don't mind my beer being a bit cloudy but it really turns a lot of people off and its something to do :mug::mug:. Anybody have a cheap simple filter system...

Just curious if anyone else is using thebrewhouse.com beer kits? I've had a fair amount of luck with them in getting a good finished product and am not quite ready/supplied to go from scratch. Is anyone aware of a widely available alternative all grain kit I could try? The stuff in the cans...

Hi all I'm new to the forum. I haven't been making beer at home now for a few years due to space issue but now all that has changed.:mug: I just got a single cornelius keg kit delivered and have a batch of pale ale almost ready to keg. Just had a couple quick questions... The quick connect...
