Ok, so I thought I had another carboy cap but I guess I only have one and it's on my fermenting Saison. I brewed tonight and I'm just waiting for it to cool and just noticed this. What should I do? I'm thinking of using the carboy cap I have on the Saison since it's pretty much done and will...

Hi everyone, I brewed the Cottage House Saison recipe last weekend, which I didn't hit my OG from the mash so I added a little extra honey and some DME. But, not too worried so that aside, I ended up pitching Wyeast 3724 instead of 3711! Had no choice but so go ahead and see how it turns out...

Hello everyone. My brother and I just started our first brew two weeks ago and decided to bottle yesterday since the FG was down to where it should be (we think). Well, we were pretty geeked about it and got all into cleaning and sanitizing the bottles. Once finished, we went to filling and...

Hi everyone, name's Tim and I'm looking forward to pick your brains quite a bit. Well, I live in Warrenville, IL...a good 30mi. from Chicago...and I find myself pretty lucky to have the LHBS, run by Two Bros. Beer, within walking distance. My brother and I started fermenting our first batch...
