I am getting ready to brew a batch of Irish Red Ale that I brewed 6 months ago. Everything will be identical, except for the addition of BrewVint Yeast Fuel, generously provided by Austin Homebrew Supply. The ingredient list is 6 lb. Gold liquid malt extract, 12 oz. Caramel 40°L, 2 oz...

I bottled a batch of ESB Last Wednesday, so it has been in the bottles for basically one week. When I racked it to the bottling bucket, I was amazed at how clear the Beer was. I pulled a bottle out of the box this evening to look for any sign of sediment in the bottom, and I see nothing. You'd...

I brewed my first partial mash recipe yesterday (a Belgian Dubbel), and I have a question. The recipe was a kit from Midwest, and it said that the OG should be 1.048 - 1.052, but mine ended up being 1.062 (corrected for temp). What could cause this? The recipe for this kit was: 6 lb...

My latest batch of beer has been in the secondary since Saturday, and today I noticed tiny whitish specks floating on top. Could this be an infection, or something else? Other than that, I can see that the beer is already much clearer than it was when I racked it to the secondary. Thanks in...

I got a 5 gal setup on saturday, and brewed my first batch yesterday. But I had purchased a Nut Brown ale for my Mr. Beer that I brewed a little over a week ago. I used liquid yeast for the batch. It still has a foamy head on it (Krausen?). Since it's a Mr. Beer (enough said), I didn't take an...
