I had a Roggenbier stick at 1.020 my LHBS said drop in some Beano. I did and there is a 1/4" layer of new dense foam on top now. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Has anyone ever heard of or done this? If so what were the results?

I brewed a NB Strong Goldern Belgian 3 months ago -- gave it 1 month in the primary, a month in secondary and an additional month to clear in a carboy. When I kegged it a bout a week ago the sample was pretty bright & clear. Now that its chilled and carbed the samples are cloudy. Should I...

I've read some discussions on other websites that though made of different material there is no significant difference in performance as a carboy between better bottles versus a 5 gallon plastic water cooler bottle. There must be a good reason for paying $30 plus shipping for an Better Bottle...

I brewed a Northern Brewer honey kolsh kit a couple of weeks ago for an up coming Marti Gras party thinking it would make a good chick beer. As always I added some fermentables to boost the ABV in this case an extra 2#s of honey and expermented by adding some orange zest (I imagined a nice...

I just started a JAOM for my first mead a couple of days ago. It is stinking up my kitchen -- smells like someone is passing gas. Is this normal? I mean I enjoy the smell of beer fermenting, but this is very different from that.
