So I am running a little experiment. I have had my beer that I didn't have room to bottle in my secondary for probably 6-10 weeks now. How long can I keep the beer in my secondary fermenter until it goes bad? Thanks.

Hey all, So I bottled my first batch about 3-4 weeks ago and had an interesting find. Some background first: I bottled my beer and bottled conditioned them a little differently the first week. I put a few at room temperature, about 70 degrees. And the rest in my basement for the first week...

So I have bottled my first beer about a week and a half ago. I know I am supossed to wait three weeks, but well...I am not. lol. So anyway, I just am testing one tonight and put it in the refrigerator. When I am actually getting ready to drink the beers, how long should I keep them in the...

So I bottled my first batch last night! I of course tasted some before putting it in the bottles. I don't know what green beer should taste like. I did an amber for my first batch. Can anyone describe what tastes I should be looking for? It tasted a bit bitter if that makes sense. I'm guessing...

So I just finally bottled my first batch after letting it ferment for a month! I put the bottles back where I was fermenting the beer. It is probably like 60 degrees farenheight. Is that okay? Or should they be stored where it is hotter? Thanks everyone!

So I don't have a specific bucket just for bottling. Would it be okay to dissolve my priming sugar in water, pour that into my fermentor, stir, and then attach a bottling wand to my auto siphon and siphon into my bottles? Or put the priming sugar dissolved into water in my carboy, siphon my beer...

Hi Everyone, So I was going to bottle my first beer today! . I checked the FG and it hasn't moved for a week. The current gravity reading is 1.018. My kit says I need 1.08-1.12. So my fermentation is stuck. What do I do? How do I restart it again? Should I get more yeast and add more yeast...

When I am bottling my beer, do I need to siphon it into a new bucket from the fermentor, or can I just use my siphon to go from the fermenter directly to the bottles? If I need to use a new bucket, can I just use my brew pot and siphon? Also, for the priming sugar, do I put sugar in each bottle...

Hey Everyone, So I made my first brew a week ago. Checked the gravity today. SG was 1.4. Now it is at 1.2. So it is fermenting well. I tasted the beer that I took out for a gravity reading just to see how it tasted. It was bitter. I just want to make sure this is normal. What should a...

Hi Everyone, So I have a quick question. I will be bottling my first batch tomorrow if my final gravity reading checks out. The directions with my kit say bottle in 7 - 10 days. I have read in a few places on this site though that some people like to keep their beer in the primary for 2 - 4...

So I just brewed my first beer yesterday and am planning on brewing a second one soon! :). I don't want to get ahead of myself and get too advanced, but I am a little confused with what I should buy. My first brew came from the Sam Adams Longshot Home Brew Contest Kit. I would like to brew...
