Hi, I'm racking a stout into secondary and after successfully getting out about 3.5 gallons, my racking cane started to pull a whole lot of air from -somewhere-, which is odd because both ends are submerged in wort. Now, I've got 1.5 gal left in primary but the cane won't pull at all, it just...

Hello, For some reason every time I brew my hands and fingers get covered in little cuts. They don't bleed and it doesn't really bother me that much but I sure would like to figure out how that's happening. Anybody got any ideas? I assume it's happening when my hands are wet..

Hello, So I went to my LHBS today to pick up some things for my next batch and while I was there picked up a 1 gal jug and stopper to do my starter in. I got home, boiled up my wort, chilled it, aerated and pitched, then went into my jug. I then pushed in the stopper and went to insert my...
