So I made a Wee Heavy Scotch ale last at the end of last summer. It landed about 8.5%. I bottled into some 12oz, some 22oz, and some 8oz. The first 12oz bottle I opened had the correct carbonation, but it was still young. I gave a 22 to a brew buddy of mine, a few months ago, and she said it...

So I have heard horror stories about broken glass carboys, and a lot of you have the scares to show for it. I don't know if I have found the solution, but this is something that I have come up with. I was in my local hardware store looking for some laquor (to protect some labels) and found...

Just finished brewing my 4th beer. I decided to try a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, with the hopes it will be in its prime around January or Febuary. I added ingrediants to a Scotch Ale Kit from Coopers. It should end up to be a 12% brew. I have bought some 7oz Coronita's (small corona's) to use to...

I have read a lot about adding flavor variations such as orange peels or hot peppers into beers (both of which I have enjoyed) but what would adding something like Vanilla beans or Vanilla extract do to the beer? Would the sugars be eaten and therfor neglegated? When would I add such a thing...

I am using a 5 gal. glass carboy as my secondary fermentor. I know that air is bad at this point in the process, but should I fill the carboy with water? I could add a quart or two.
