    Secondary Temperature

    I'm making a Belgian Wit, I fermented at 65F for 1 week and just transferred it to the secondary. Should I lower the temperature or leave it around 65? If lower it, to what? Have it then sit 2 weeks right?

    Non-alcoholic beer?

    This might be a noob question, but where do the calories in non-alcoholic beer come from? I always thought the calories were just from the alcohol, hence why light beer is lower in alcohol AND calories.

    So I bought a Ranco one-stage electronic temperature control and didn't expect that I had to wire it myself. Well I'm dumb and don't know what NC NO or anything else I see inside this thing means... has anyone else ever wired one of these who could explain it to me? Even just an image of yours...

    Carboy Times

    So I know that you let beer sit in a carboy to ferment and to dry hop and flavor and yatta yatta yatta. But after fermentation has been fully complete and the gravity of the beer is at a final resting point I've got some questions. After the final gravity has been reached what is the point...

    Troubleshooting at an IPA

    I created the starter for an IPA about a week ago, couldn't get around to brew till yesterday. During brewing, I had 2 boil overs, very short, just lost a few floating hops, nothing major. I cooled the wort to 65deg, aerated it and poured it in a carboy to aerate it further. I took a...

    Keg/Brew Pot

    I'm a poor little homebrewing college student and I'm trying to up my batch size and go all grain. So I have a few questions about creating/buying a larger brewpot. I've heard of people somehow cutting of the top of a keg (<--how would I do that?) and proping it above a stand alone propane...

    Month Long First-ary

    I made a Honey Lager with California Lager yeast. It sat in the first fermenting carboy for close to a month, should I expect any funny flavors? I usually transfer to a secondary within a couple days of fermenting but I got lazy this time.

    Bottled Yeast

    I've been collecting the yeast from my secondary and bottling it. As in pouring it into a sanitized bottle and capping it. After that I label it and stick it in a refrigerator. Is that an okay long term storage method?

    Old Yeast Starter

    So I made a yeast starter Feb 7th (22 days ago) and never got around to brewing the batch. I amd thinking that I won't be getting to it for quite a while. How long can a yeast starter sit before things start going wrong? Can a starter sit forever? I'm thinking about just pouring off the...
