I had it fermenting for a week, as the instructions said. I'm assuming the shorter fermenting time is because it's a 3 gallon instead of 5 gallon batch. Does the smell indicate that I might of bottled to early?

I just bottled my first all grain. It's a Belgium White... taste was fine, but it literally smelled like a fart. Maybe the yeast? I'm doing 3 gallon small batches. Here's the measurements. 3 lbs. unmalted or torrified wheat 1 lb. flaked oats. 4 lbs. pilsner malt 1/4 oz. Kent Goldings hops...

This is my first time doing priming without something from a kit. I'm about ready to bottle a 3 gallon batch of a Belgium White. What type of sugar and how much should I use for priming? Thanks!

I've got an English Pale that's been bottled for over a month. I cracked a couple open a couple weeks ago and it was great! Recently however they have started getting a banana type flavor... It's not bad, I just don't know where it's coming from. Any ideas?

I've got my first brew fermenting, now I'm looking for my second. The guy at my local beer supply store told me the type of beer doesn't matter for beginners and that all the kits are easy. Is this true? Is there any type of brew that might be more "forgiving" for a beginner? My first batch...

I went with some Deftones. Kept it real with White Pony :ban:

First brew day is complete! First batch was an American Wheat Ale, hopefully it turns out ok. I'm a little worried because everything I've read said that the wort should be boiled violently, mine wasn't doing that. I put the lid on from time to time to give it a little more action, but for...
