    Moving outside

    Hi, I am a fairly new brewer and have been doing most of my work on an electric coil type stove with a 3 gallon brew pot. I have been pleased with every batch so far. Our stove broke and we bought one of those ceramic top types. Since I have already had one boil over I am going to move my...

    Someone with software

    Hi, I purchased a kit from my LHBS that they put together. I figured why not and brewed it. It is in bottles now. I was wondering, if I listed the recipe here can someone with brewing software tell me more about what the beer will be like. For example what is the IBU and ABV. Also what...

    Low Carboniation

    Just tasted my first home brew last night. It tasted good (a little lighter than I expected, looks like a bass but tastes more like an Amstel) but there was almost no carboniation. The bottle made a very slight hiss when opened but no bubbles in the beer. Is this normal after 1 week bottling...
