I brewed an Aletoberfest yesterday, ( I know it's an odd time of year for an Oktoberfest but I bought everything a long time ago and never got around to brewing it) and for whatever reason my OG was 1.040. If my FG is around 1.010 then I'm looking at an ABV in the low 4's. That is a little low...

I am going to be brewing a Peach Wheat this weekend and am using puree for the first time. I know there are probably plenty of threads on this but I don't have time to research. If I am not mistaken, I should let wort ferment out then add puree to secondary. My main question is what to do...

I purchased some pellet hops from Brewmasters.com and got them a couple of weeks ago. They are still unopened but due to a move they have sat at room temp until today when I put them in the freezer where I usually keep them. Having been at room temp for that amount of time, will that effect...

I just brewed my first two batches of beer and noticed in both of them that there was a good layer of DME "sludge" in the bottom when I bottled. I didn't boil for very long, should I boil for a certain amount of time to dissolve the malt better or just stir more? Or is this just normal...
