I have posted before about a strange seltzer like after taste in my AG brews. I tried doing a simple recipe, one of Edworts, to try and determine if it was something in my brew process, but I still have the same taste. I am thinking that it is my fermentor, I use a 5 gallon water jug, could...

I have done 2 batches since I started doing AG and I am still finding this funny after taste in my beers. It is sort of a seltzer like after taste, even in my low carbonated beer such as a Hefe. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what might be causing this taste. Maybe its just letting it...

I pitched some Dead yeast on friday to my IPA and I was gone all weekend (and I do not have any extra yeast on hand), the LBS is not open on Monday or Sunday. I was wondering if it would be too late to pitch some on Tuesday, its only a 2.5 gallon batch, so I'd like to know if its worth the drive...

Going to brew another mini batch, 2.5 gallon. I want to attempt an IPA this time and I was wondering first off; Dry hopping the secondary usually yields better results? And two, I read a post about tying a muslum or nylon bag around my racking cane to filter the beer when racking to the bottling...

E-bay two - 5gallon Corny Kegs for 24.99 plus 28 flat rate shipping. Worth it? I cannot find anything on craigslist/bargain news in CT.

Last Thursday I brewed my first ever all-grain and my own recipe. Prior to now I have been doing partial mash clones, mostly smithwicks and red ales. Also this is a 2.5 gallon batch, since I only have a 16 quart brewpot. My recipe is as follows: 3.5 lbs American 2-Row .5 lbs crystal 60Lov...

I have been using pellet Hops for my brews and have been finding that when it comes time to bottle, not all the remnants of the hops fall to the bottom, and my siphon often gets clogged before I'm half way through bottling. I was wonder one of two things; Should I rack to a secondary before...

My brews seem to have a sour/bitter after taste, while also tasting a little watered down. Its not unbearable and I drink it anyway, but its annoying cause I want to create something that taste really good. I brewed a batch of Brewers best Irish red ale kit, it taste great besides these...
