I went out to the garden today and I noticed that the leaves on a lot of my hop plants are getting what I call a Fish scale looking surface. They are multicolored and have an odd grey fish scale look to them. Is that normal ? I looked at Powdery Mildew pictures, but it doesnt seem to be like...

I recently made beer from a kit that used a 2 oz bottle of Hazelnut Fruit flavoring from Brewcraft. I had to add it right before bottling. When I first opened the bottle the stuff smelled HORRIBLE. I did keep it refrigerated the entire time before using like it says so I assumed it...

I have been brewing for about 8 months. I have made batches of beer that have come out good, and have made some that have came out with some awful tastes/aftertastes that I can only assume from reading peoples posts comes from contamination of some type. I use "One-Step" No-Rinse Sanitizer...

I am currently making beer by using partial grain kits I purchase online. Except for one nut brown beer (which has fruit extract that goes in right before bottling) None of the beers I make have hops or anything that is supposed to be added later in a secondary fermenter. I use the secondary...

Hello everyone. I am new to the forums and starting to seriously get into brewing beer. I have made over 6 batches "Not saying that is a lot, however it is enough to know I want to do this from now on." Currently I purchase kits that are "Partial Mash" I slow steep the already prepared...
