Sorry to Hijack, but love the avatar BrianP. I see what happens when you... lolz

Hope no one minds me bring back this thread, but... I'm brewing a Apricot wheat and plan on using the Brewcraft Apricot (liquid) extract. My LHBS also reccommended that I add the extract to taste before bottling, although I've also read that you don't want to unnecessarily add air to the...

Primary, secondary, tertiary, quarternary (sp?) = 1,2,3,4 Tertiary, in this case, would indicate the 3rd fermentor. Not sure, but I think it dates back to orbits of electrons... or that's how I remember it.

A follow-up question for those that used Oregan products -- Saw a few cans at the local grocery store but none in the 3 pound or 5 lb... Do you use really big cans, or multiple smaller cans? Is one of the smaller cans insufficient nearly 1 lb?

I've been pleased with the Beer Nut -- of course, this is UT so my choice of stores is limited! They seem a friendly enough bunch and have been a great help setting me up. Good luck on whatever you decide to do -- if you wind up using the kit from Beer Nut -- let me know how it goes. I'm...

Speaking of UT... the local brew store I go to has a kit. I haven't tried it yet, but if you scroll down to the ingredient kits (left margin), you should see a link to click: http://www.beernut.com/Web_store/web_store.cgi

Wow... Ithaca has changed. I went to college at IC from 1990-1994. The biggest news I recall was when Cristianos closed up shop in the commons. Wish there was a brewery to visit back in the day...

Has anyone experimented with juice produced from a "juicer"?

@ Scott: I share your concern, especially if the bottles are going to sit for a bit; however, Palmer suggests that it is fine and a number of the more experienced brewers often refer n00bs like me to the web-book. Edit: 9/9: Do you cover the bottle-tops with aluminum? @ Scott: I think I...

Hello. New brewer here with a question. According to the Palmer online book, one method of sterlizing bottles is to bake them in the oven: http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter2-2-3.html As stated, one can take a piece of aluminum foil, cover the opening and bake at the suggested...

Thanks for the bourbon tip. I'm currently listening to one of Jamil's shows on using oak chips. He said that the higher alcohol beverages likely kill anything on the wood chips. He also suggests pressure cooking or boiling, although, if I've heard him properly... he did say that he had...

Thanks for the tip.

Hello. I'm a new brewer with a flavor for oak. I purchased some toasted oak chips and would like to add them to my IPA during the secondary fermentation. As I'm not sure how it will come out, I'm only adding a few chips (maybe 1 oz to 5 gallons). I've read that I should boil them before...

Thank you both for your replys! Hopefully, my thieved beer will taste ok!

I apologize if these are stupid questions, but... Brewing my first batch and am curious about contamination. From all I've read, you want to prevent contamination (airborne/insufficient sanitazion, etc). On the other hand, you want to also take a hydrometer reading in order to ensure that...

Thanks for the link (and no Rickroll!).

Yeah... just a n00b here -- thanks for the links. From experience on other forums I was slightly concerned that your links might be a Rickroll:D

I'm pretty new to the forum -- is there a thread/post you can refer me to?

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'm a n00b and interested in trying a fruit recipe one day -- specifically, using apples, and so far this is the most closely related thread I could find. A few questions: From what I've gathered, some don't transfer a hefe to a secondary being...
