My local HBS is closing in two weeks... PERMANENTLY :( I know of Northern Brewer, and I like that they have low cost shipping and can order many grain bills that they'll even mill for you, but there's a problem. I'm a 1Gal brewer. I have plenty of all grain equipment for full and half...

Racked a beer into the keg yesterday. Closed it up and set my keezer to 35 degrees to get it nice and cold. Today I opened it to add gelatin and somehow the o-ring fell off the cap and sank to the bottom of the keg. I added the gelatin and put a new o-ring on the cap, sealed her shut, purged...

So I made this mild, and within a week in primary it was clear. I mean crystal clear. While still beer colored I could see my finger on the other side of my test tasting glass when I pulled a sample. racked it to a keg making sure to miss the cake, and when I take a sample (two days in to...

I have a 19L mash tun and got invited to a brewout where were all going to be making a high Gravity (14%) stout. So if I don't happen to be able to get it all in, do I mash twice and blend them? I'd hate to only make 3 gallons. Options?

Noticed the bung in my shwarzbier was kinda sitting ontop of the carboy in the hole. Not snugly seated. I noticed this when cleaning one of my kegs. It had been 10 days and I didn't want to chance any more air getting in (if any had), so I racked it off the cake into a clean keg. It hit me...

Got a Cornelius brand regulator on eBay and I have a question. It claims to have a co2 check valve, but it doesn't have a shutoff. Do I need to buy a shutoff before force carbing? If no, will the check valve prevent liquid from coming back up into the regulator? I'm new at legging and just...

Pretty sure I just witnessed a great war between Australia and Great Britain in yeast form! I have a 5 gallon batch of homebrew that looked like no fermentation was happening, at all. The Aussie yeast I pitched wasn't doing jack. My local shop didn't have any more so I bought some British yeast...

Was rehydrating 2.5 packs of S-04 yesterday in what I thought was a tall cup. I sealed it with aluminum foil. Within less than 10 minutes, the foam had made it up to the foil so I went to transfer it all to a bigger container, in the process quite a bit of foam was stuck to the foil. All the...

My cider is almost three weeks into fermentation, and I just realized I still haven't added pectic enzyme. I'd really hate for it to be cloudy. Will it do anything at this point? Can it hurt?

I've been brewing for about a year and a half now, and since then have made a decent selection of brews and labels. I'm very proud of both. Designing them is the easy part, but finding the perfect label paper is a feat I have yet to accomplish. For that reason, I'm only showing the labels...

I live in Houston, TX and I'm deathly afraid that fermenting in my garage will screw up my beer. I have everything I need to get started, but haven't yet because I'm not sure where I should place my fermenter. I know In Ohio (Where I'm originally from) my dad ferment's his in the basement...
