I'm in the process of brewing a Lawnmower Saison kit from Midwest. I just noticed 1 oz of US Goldings Hops is missing (Kit should have 2 oz Goldings 1 oz for bittering and one for aroma) I have 1 oz of cascade here on hand. How would that change the flavor or aroma depending on when its added...

I had a bbq this weekend and a few people brought six packs and were put right on ice. The good thing is I have about a case that wasn't consumed. I have no room in my beer fridge right now. Is it ok to store the beer in my basement and let it go warm until it's ready to drink again. Thanks

I planned on brewing today and after 24 hrs I have no action in my starter. I'm using white labs britsh ale 005. The vile was shipped 4 weeks ago during the heat wave. The cold pack was warm when the shipment was recieved. I think the yeast is dead. Midwest also sent a 6 gram packet of Muntons...

I just popped open the first bottle of my 4th brew a California Steam. When I poured it It was all head from the bottom to the top of the glass. It was all foam. I poured it my usual way tilting the glass and all. The head just shot up really fast. What could be the cause of this? Just curious...

This will be my sixth batch. My second with a starter(cream ale). Is it necessary to pour off the beer before adding the starter? My first batch with the starter I did not (Hefe). It's still in the primary and seems ok.

I actually have two questions. I'm making a Hefeweizen from from a Midwest extract kit with White Labs Hefeweizen ale yeast WPL230. Would it be ok if I made a starter now (7:30 pm) and pitched at say 4pm tomorrow? Also I just took the yeast out of the fridge. Would it be ok to make a starter...

Who can recommend an extract stout kit. Preferably a Guinness clone. If thats even possible. thanks

I brewing a AHB California Common kit right now with San Fran Lager Yeast wlp810. I bought a yeast fuel capsule. Do I really need this? It says it speeds up fermentation. I'm not really in a hurry. Should I let nature take it's course or should I add this?

I usually soak my bottles in Oxi clean to clean them. I have a cooler filled with 15 gallons of the stuff. I'd like to drop my bottles in as I drink them. How long does the oxi last. Can it be used over and over?

Bottled my second batch 2 weeks ago a Midwest Bass ale clone (extract). I cracked one open today...nice. One more week and into the fridge for a few days. Looking good:rockin:

While setting up to start a brew I removed my packet of dry yeast from the fridge. While getting myself organized I placed the packet of yeast on the toaster oven. Then before starting the brew I decided to make a sandwich. I wanted toasted Italian bread so I turned on the toaster oven and...

I have a Bass Ale clone(extract) which was in the primary for 4 weeks. I transferred to the secondary this past Sunday in order to free up the primary for a brew day this Sunday. Now I'm wondering if I should bottle also on Sunday or would this be to early. I appreciate your comments.

My first batch (Belgian Wheat) was a hit at the family get together this holiday weekend. Luckily I stashed a six pack away all for myself. It got rave reviews. "I can't believe how smooth it is" "How come there's no bitter after taste" were some of the comments. Thanks to all the advice...

I bottled a Belgian Wheat on Nov 29. I would like to crack some open on X-mas eve. How many days before should I put some in the fridge?

I just bottled my first batch. A Belgian Wheat to be precise. I had about 4 oz. left over after bottling so I drank it. The taste is there, now with some carbonation I'll be toasting a Merry X-mas and a Ho Ho Ho. :mug:

My local beer distributor is willing to sell me bottles for 10 cents apiece.
