I've searched through many different threads and have been unable to find an answer to this... I acquired a pound of centennial hops that were shipped in from the PAC-NW and used about 8oz of them to dry-hop a Two-Hearted Ale clone I was making.. the leftover hops that I didn't use ended up...

I am new to brewing ( 3 batches currently in the pipeline) as is my buddy who has taken up homebrewing with me. He wants to crush up a Butterfinger and add it to the boil with 5 minutes to go. Are there any downfalls or things to watch out for when doing this? I haven't seen much on here about...

What about stacking them? This is more of a physics question I guess but I figure someone here has done this before and knows the outcome. My concern would be the bottles breaking. I wanted to sterilize all of my bottles for 4 gallons of brew in one go in the oven and not have to do it twice...

Disclaimer: I used the search function but didn't really see any results that pertain to my situation (maybe I used the wrong keywords). I have only done 1 batch before today, an American IPA where I used dry yeast. I recently got my buddy interested and he purchased a starter kit and an...

I have a buddy who recently bought a brewing kit and he wanted to brew a batch of his stuff alongside me at my house. Problem is he wants to store the fermentor at his place. What's the best way to go about this? We'd be drinking while we brew so driving the day of brewing isn't an option. Would...

This might be a dumb question but I've never really seen it clarified. I've been reading up on how a lot of people prefer to keep beer on the yeast cake as opposed to moving it to a secondary carboy if they aren't dry-hopping. Why is it so important to leave it on the cake? Isn't the yeast...

I'm new to all this, I was just wondering if this was advisable to boil additional hops in sterilized water @ various lengths, cool them and then add them to 9 day-old beer which was just moved to a secondary fermentor. I realize that this should of been done when initially boiling the wort...

Hi all, I made my first batch from an extract kit this past weekend. When I was done I realized that I didn't stir my wort enough or I left my specialty grain bag in one spot for too long as there was a 3 inch in diameter scorch mark on the bottom of the kettle. There is definitely some...

I brewed my first batch ever this past Saturday, a Chinook IPA, and everything appears to be going as planned... how many of you brewed up a second batch before you found out the results of your first brew? Or is doing that being overaggressive? I just know that the 5 gallons I have...
