Just so you know, "irregardless" is not a word. If you think about it, it makes no sense.

You can buy nutritional yeast at health food stores. Its a dry powder that can substitute for salt or sugar or cheese, since it kinda tastes like all three. It supposed to be good for you. But the trub at the bottom of my fermenter generally smells thoroughly unappetizing.

I've noticed many that many people talk of pouring a bottle of beer in a way as to not disturb, and consequently not consume, the layer of yeast which has settled to the bottom of a bottle. However, some commercial beers, i think hoogarden is one, advise swirling the last inch of the bottle to...

70% really? DeathBrewer, is your formula different? I'm confused. i thought attenuation was ( ( OG - FG ) / OG ) x 100 (47-18)/ 47 *100 = 61.7 thanks

So here's my story. Its my first batch of homebrew, true brew porter extract kit. 1 can dark malt extract 2 lbs dark dried malt extract 8 oz. malto-dextrin 6 oz. chocolate grain malt 1 oz hop pellets Muntons ale yeast OG was about 1.045-48 , not certain I measured correctly (it was my...

Not 40's I wish If I had homebrewed 40's that would be friggin' sweet. The gutterbum inside of me meets a sophisticated palate. they are just over 25 oz. I think the long neck bombers are 22.

Hey, thanks to the infinite usefulness of craigslist I just picked up 3 packs of bottles for my upcoming brew. they look new, and each pack was $3 for 20 bottles. They are almost like bombers, but they are wider with a shorter neck. they actually hold a little more volume too. I am still a...

I looked at the petstore for an inline filter, but they didn't have any. I've heard that welding O2 is clean, but I dont really know and all my proof is anecdotal. I figured the water bottle couldnt hurt, but mostly it was for mental reassurances so I wouldn't sit around for six weeks...

Here is a pic of my homemade O2 system. Just a tank and a O2 regulator from a welding kit, basic hardware store parts. It probably cost about $15. Quite a savings compared to those commercially availabe. I stuffed the bottle full of wet paper towels since my LHBS did not carry HEPA or any...

Thanks for the quick responses. Its good to have some new ideas to work from. I tried stirring it a few times with little to no results. I think tomorrow I will go back to my favorite store, Beers of the World, and find some new and hopefully better yeast.

Hi all, this is my first post on my first attempt at brewing and I have some questions which hopefully someone can answer. I am using a True Brew porter kit from my LHBS. It was running fine for the first two days then the fermenting bucket stopped bubbling. The OG was about 1.045 and after...
