Just some background on this cider and the steps I've done: - Ingredients consist of just 5gal of local unpasteurized cider and wyeast 1098. OG read 1.060 on a hydrometer. - Fermented for about a month - very active. - Cold crash in primary (~38 degrees) when SG hit .997 - Mixed a solution...

My gear is all stored in a couple of buckets and loose around my house. My goal tomorrow is to come up with a way to put it all in one spot that makes sense. So how did you all do it? Feel free to share pics of your setup too!

I'm working on my own recipe for a chocolate stout (building from what I've read in the recipe forum) and I just realized that I have no idea how long to steep the grains. In the kits I've done in the past, it's been 20 min at ~160 degrees. Is this standard all around? I thought I read...

When I first got into homebrewing a little over a year ago, I knew I wanted to make a hard cider. Fast forward to last Saturday when I happened to be at a local orchard where they had freshly pressed cider for sale. Fast forward just a little bit further to see me wearing a stupid grin walking...

I'm getting ready to order my first kegging system (done with bottles) and had a question around Primary and Secondary regulators. I've done general Google searches as well as searching this forum and I'm still not 100% clear on a few details. My understanding is that secondary regs sit...

Greetings! I apologize for my first post being a beginner question, but I'm hoping you all will forgive me. ;) My buddy and I had made a deal that as soon as one of us had a garage, we would get into homebrewing. I just moved into a place with a garage and we wasted no time getting to work...
