I have some wierd looking bubbles on one of my brews. I'm pretty sure that the orange/brown stuff (I'm quite colorblind) is just yeast from the sides, but there are some wired looking bubbles that weren't there before. They look like flat bubbles with little particles in them. I'll attach a...

I saw some slimy particles floating in one of my bottles, so I figured it was infected. I wanted to save my room from a beer explosion, so I craked it open. When I did, I got an olde faithful of beer--- after only 4 days. I gave it a taste, and it had a weird taste. I can only begin to...

Ever since my last beer got infected, I'm taking every look and thinking that I have another infected beer. My last brew didnt have this kind of bubbles on it, it had krausen, then when that fell, it had just a few bubbles. This one seems to be overrun with them. Does this look normal?

I was capping, and one of my bottles got stuck in the capper. I ended up getting it out and it had a deep dimple in the top of it. Should I let it be, or recap?

I got about 70% effiency, but I cant see any cloudiness that I associate with good conversion. Is this cloudiness some thing else not related to malt conversion? Here is a pic of it. Usually, the entire pot is cloudy, this time there is a 6 inch diameter circle of cloudiness.

I am making a 2.5 gal brew in a 11 litre carboy. I came out a little shy after my boil with about 2.2 gallons. It turns out, my blow-off tubing won't fit into the carboy plug I have, but one of my airlocks will. I am using Safbrew SS-06. Will this combo net me a brew-volcano?

Would I be correct in assuming that adding some Black Patent during the last 5 minutes of my mash would darken by brew with out making it to "roasty"?

Let me preface my question by saying that I am new to the world of grain... A recipe I want to make calls for 4oz Crystal 125L- but my brew shop doesn't carry this grain. What "kind" of grain is this and what should I substitute it with?

My blow off stopped bubbling overnight when it somehow flipped out of the container I had it in. Before that I was getting one bubble every second, and the brew had a nice head of Krausen on it. Now I am not getting bubbles through the blow off - but when I look at the brew, there are still...

I brewed my first batch of beer last night, I reduced the wort down a little much (big pot, high humidity) so I added some water and un boiled wort I had from earlier. It has been fermenting all night, and it looks like the krausen got to around 2-3 inches in hight over night, but now its...
