So I made a heady topper clone yesterday and double pitched WLP008 at about 6pm. I originally had it in my Mini-brew conical fermenter with a small blow off attachment. At 3pm today I checked on it and it had lifted the top off of the conical as it doesn't seal super tightly, so I transferred it...

I guess it isnt THAT crazy but I have a Belgian Tripel in primary: -1.08 OG -FG should be 1.01 -Opened it after 2 weeks to take a hydro reading but there was still a thick cap of foam so closed it back up -2 days after opening it, foamed up into airlock and I rigged a blowoff tube, and it is...

So i went to transfer my Belgian Tripel to a 6 gallon carboy, and when I open the primary fermenter there is about 2 or 3 inches of beautiful, thick white foam on top of the beer. I was taken aback as I have never seen that before but I think it's a good thing. Should I hold off transferring to...

hey guys - so I am ready to bottle my first dry-hopped IPA, I transferred the carboy out into where I'm going to bottle it, and I noticed there are still a good amount of hops sitting on top...is this normal? Its actually been in primary for 1.5 weeks, then transferred to secondary and dry...

So I ordered a kit from Austin Homebrew and part of the kit was White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale yeast, and it had a "cool pack", however it was anything but cool after the 4 day delivery - is this gonna be OK to use for my brew tomorrow? I put it in the fridge right away when it was delivered.

So my first few batches of beer (brown ale, Magic Hat #9 clone, Hefe) went out without a hitch and tasted very good, at least to me. Awesome! Was so happy. My last 2 beers though, both kits I bought from my local home brew store (as were my first 3): a blonde ale and a Killians clone. I...

Hey everyone - Looking for a suggestion on a beer I could turn around and have reach a decent maturity in about 5 weeks, and one that is fairly light as the people I wanna make it for arent much into dark beers. I bottle condition and do not have a lagering setup, Any tips and/or...

Hey everybody - new to the forum, but there seems to be quite a wealth of knowledge so thought I'd see if I can get some suggestions pointers. I made my first batch about about 6 weeks ago, a brown ale, and it has turned out better than I could have imagined! Tomorrow I'll be making my 2nd...
