Brewing a batch of Strawberry Blonde for the summer. This is a Kit beer and it came with a bottle of "syrupy" looking strawberry flavoring. Is there any way to substitute this with actual strawberries or should we just use this stuff? If so, how many strawberries should we add to the...

I am brewing a Strawberry Blonde Kit, and my bloodhound hopped up on the table and ate the 1/2 lb of crystal malt I was supposed to steep. Would it be possible to use some dry crystal malt extract to replace the grains I was supposed to steep? Or should I make the hour long trek to a brewing...

I am wondering if I can add hops post fermentation? I thought I used a hopped Malt Extract but it was unhopped and now too sweet to drink! Very nasty! Is there any way I can boil some hops and pour the boiled water in, even though its been in the primary for like a week and a half? or...

Does anyone have a good Partial Mash Recipe I can use? It will be my first Partial Mash and I would like it easy. Also, what equipment should I use? I was just looking at the Easy Partial Mash brewing with pictures and it was very helpful, I think I will use that method unless someone has a...

Im on my first batch right now, and I think I would like to get another fermenter to put this batch in a secondary fermenter. Do people recommend a Carboy or a fermenting bucket for this? This way I could have two batches at once. I would like to use this to have some sort of rotation...

Have a True Brew Amber sitting in a 5 gal Carboy in my apartment, it has been in this primary for 5 days. Seems to have stopped fermenting. I will probably wait a week and bottle it then leave it for 3 weeks or so. Got a lot of help from the guys on this website. I was really freaking...

I am trying my first homebrew, and I am a little confused. I made the Wort and put it in the clean water, have it in a carboy with an airlock to keep it closed. I tried to sanitize everything well, but i just used dish soap (dawn i believe) and it has been bubbling for the last 2 days (which...
