I’m going to bottle my first wine tomorrow. It has been sitting on wood, so instead of transferring to a bottling bucket, I thought about transferring it into a sanitized keg and then bottling it with my beer gun. Has anyone else done this? Thanks!

I brewed a wheat beer with honey and chamomile for a beer festival that is happening in three weeks. I cold crashed on Tuesday and came down to the brewery today to find it frozen. I have no idea how this happened. Bruh. I know the beer will be fine once it thaws out, but my concern is the...

I brew all of our tailgating beer for Middle TN. State games. I’m making a NEIPA for the crew. I’ve never had one. ahow does the combination of Citra, Sabro and Cascade sound?

I brewed a farmhouse beer with Imperials Rustic. White Labs Sacc Brett Troix arrived right before I left for vacation and instead of transferring to a secondary, I pitched it right into the primary. Gravity for the farmhouse at that time was 1.006. Does anyone have experience doing this? The...

I bought a pack of Imperial Yeast today. The pack says made in February. Should I make a starter? It’s for a Belgian double. I never used this is before.

I am not a fan of hoppy beers, but my tailgating friends are. I have brewed a double trouble clone that is fermenting great after a week. The plan is to leave in primary for two weeks and then rack into the secondary for dry hopping. Here is where I get confused. The recipe I’m using calls for...

Life is busy right now, but I’m trying to keep my brewing schedule. Today I measured out grains for a Belgian abbey Christmas beer. I needed 13.5 pounds of two row along with a half pound of five other malts ( Munich, caramel, aromatic, biscuit and Special B). Dark candi syrup goes in at...

This is my first blow off tube. I’m using a 1 inch version that fits nicely into the top of the carboy. From everything I have read, that should work. Does everything look correct?

I have a farmhouse ale that has been for fermenting for almost 3 weeks. The recipe I'm using wants me to rack onto strawberries and add the dregs from an all Brett-trois fermented beer. I have a vile of White Labs Brett B, I just don't know how much of the vile constitutes dregs. Any ideas?

This is the second starter that I have done. The one I did last week for a Dopplebock had a nice head of Krausen, but this one for the saison does not. Is everything cool?

I plan on making a starter on Tuesday for a Dopplebock and I have this leftover spary malt extract from an old extract kit. I am not sure how old it is. Does it look too caked to use?

I was carbing my corny keg at 18 psi since 10/3 and at some point a slow leak drained the tank. Discovered it was empty this AM and have the beer back under co2 now. I tasted the beer and it is okay carbed with a lacy thin head. My thinking is to put under 30 for 24 hours and then try again...

Brewed this beer on 09/02. My first brew in five years. Forgot to take OG. Used Wyeast 3724. Fermented great for three days and then stalled. Raised temp from 75 to 90 and fermentation started again but weakly. Brewed another beer and broke my hydrometer. Got nervous about it being on the...

Wife got a promotion so we moved and I lost my friends. I'm getting out of 5g brews and dropping down to 2g. Brew more often, less beer, but more variety. I want to make a small fermenter out of a mini fridge as that is all I will need now. What Love controller would be best for me? It...

I don't know what went wrong! Here is my receipe: • 5lbs Pilsen Dry Malt Extract • 1 can of Munich Liquid Malt Extract • 1lb Franco Belges CaraMunich • 2oz of US Hallertau (1.5oz at 60 minutes. 1/2oz at 15 minutes) • White Labs 820 Octoberfest Yeast I did a full boil starting at...

I am making a wheat beer doing extract brewing that calls for 6.6 lbs of wheat/barley malt extract. Can I substitute some of the malt and steep grains in their place? It seems right in my mind.

I want to transfer my Hefe to a secondary. I know. But, I want to see the difference between doing it and not doing it. Active fermentation finished four days ago, but I still have at least an inch of krauzen on the top. Does it matter how thick the krauzen it is before I transfer. I...

I want to make a Maibock when my primary opens up in three weeks. Does anyone have a good receipe that worked out well? I want something yummy for when Spring springs. Sagol

I brewed a Holiday ale last Saturday and I want to transfer it to a secondary so it will be clear as I am going to serve it a a gathering. I have brewed over ten batches, but I have not racked to a secondary since that first batch. I use glass carboys. My airlock quit bubbling on...

I am kicking myself for not making this sooner. It took about 30 minutes start to finish. I order the copper on line and bought the hardware to Home Depot. About $63 total cost.
