Hey guys, A quick question the Alamo City Cerveza Fest is having a competition with all the BJCP styles accepted. I am wanting to submit a Blueberry Cider I made a few years ago, but can't find anywhere wether something that has aged that long is acceptable or if it's "cheating." Anybody know...

Hello all, I need a little advice. I brewed a Chimay Clone. All went well with the fermation, OG and final gravity were on target after 2.5 weeks. I used Cooper Carb Tabs as I have done before - one tab in each 12oz bottle. After two weeks, they weren't carbed. Gave them another week, and no...

Question: I'm bottling an Irish Red in 22 oz bottles. I'm planning on using two Cooper's Carb Tabs per bottle. Any thoughts on how long it will take? One thread mentioned 3 days (seemed weird) another mentioned 3 weeks. I'd appreciate any insight as these will be given to a wedding party and...

Hello all. I've homebrewed numerous beers and a couple ciders. I'm thinking about mead. I'd like to do a small batch 1-2 gallons so I don't tie up a larger carboy. I'm also slightly impatient waiting for it to finish. I found this recipe online and was hoping for suggestions to cut it down...

Hello all, A quick question about carbonation once beer's already been bottled. I finished bottling a Saison a month or so ago. After two weeks, I put them in the fridge. Everytime, I open open, however, foam rises out of the bottle, even if it's been sitting still for several minutes. When...

Hi all, After completing my last batch of partial-mash yesterday I realized I completely blanked on adding hops. It didn't occur today, so it's been going about 24 hours. Any suggestions? Can I boil hops and then add at this point? Am I totally screwed? Please help? Thanks, Matt
