I've got quite a bit of brewing under my belt, never had a problem - being doing all-grain until just recently when I tried to modify a recipe with DME from all-grain (lets cut down the rime in a brew day) The brew was plagued with small misapps from the beginning, this was supposed to be...

Hi Folks - I read over some threads of those using Notty yeast, not quite sure if I was able to get the actual answer I needed. LHBS guy mentioned that this may ferment down to under 1.00 (though I thought that would be more with a champagne yeast), however the cider has been in primary for over...

Hello All - I was asked to make a beer for my wife's office Christmas Party. They were looking for a more Christmas seasonal type beer (I've never really been a fan and I think Bells Winterfest was the only winter seasonal I really cared for). If I brewed anything or kept anything around the...

I have a couple of Used Pin Lock Corney Kegs for sale - $50 a piece - located in Charlotte, NC - looking to keep it simple, local pick up only.

Hi Folks - first year harvest on Cascade and Centennial - I am drying my cascades now - my Centennials have a much stronger hop aroma, very noticeable. When I harvest my cascades they definitely don't have the real strong smell like the Centennials but I know they also have a lower AA. I...

I completed my first all grain batch yesterday, I have been brewing extract for over two years now and made the move over to all-grain basically for the fun of it and I like the challenge of working with more variables and being creative and that fact that I may actually get some cost savings...

I have seen where there are people who make batches smaller than 5 gallon - I have been brewing extracts w/ specialty grains for about 2 yrs now. I was interested in possibly moving into all grain, for the 5 gallon equiv. I would need a 10 gallon cooler, however I do have a 5 gallon...

Anyone had fermentation pop back up in the secondary (no fruit or additional additives added, just racked from primary to clear) that went on slow but steady for several days? I had an Irish Red that I did last year, so no real changes this time around, however that day I had planned to bottle...

Question - thought I would ask here - anyone store beer bottles on the side, much like wine? I know for wine you have to have the site upright for a few days to seal the cork before you put them on their side. I have a nice storage area designed that works well for additional beer storage on...

Its been a while since I have been on here and I haven't been as active on my beer and wine making as I was in the fall. That being said I have a wine that has been sitting for almost 3 months now. It still hasn't got to its Final gravity (under 1.00, ~.996). It it still sitting at 1.002. It...

I have typically had 1 cup of dextrose priming sugar with the recipes of beer that I have made (for 5 gal batches) - I had read where 3/4 cup may be more recommended, I have yet to cut it down and some people may prefer to have less carbonation. I was considering to bottle this next batch with...

I've made a few batches of beer and all have came out quite nice. As I progress along and learn more and more and get more comfortable to the basic brewing process and adding a little experimental flavors to the recipe, I also look at how the beer turns out, color, aroma, carbonation and head...
