After a month in the fermenter, gravity is stuck at 1.020 down from 1.045. This is a 19 liter milestone kit that i made with 16 liters. The beer has been at around 19 degrees celsius all the time. I had no idea what to do, so i added 200 grams of boiled DME, stirred and now i am hoping for...

I have added sugar to my fermenter after fermentation started. I brewed a lager (ale yeast..) kit with about 900 grams of table sugar (not corn). I knew it was too little as per the instructions (1 kg), but i had it all going already with the boil and everything. Did not have the hydeometer...

I am cold crashing my geordie lager at 3 celsius in my secondary right now. Will be priming and bottling in a day or two. My question: shouldnt i bring the bulk back to 70 or so fahrenheit before adding primer and bottle it, and, how long do i need to keep it at 70 temp for it to go back to...

...its a milestone raspberry wheat and Festivals golden stag summer ale. And im wondering if anyone has experience with the yeast that comes with the kit. Is it worthless or can i use it and save 10$ on not getting a wlp. Have you got a nice temperature range that woeks for these kits with...

This has to be an intriguing title. My auto siphon is broken because the little loose thing that prevent the beer from getting out once siphoned up into the pipe has fallen out and is missing. I found that using a sterilized coin with or without tape around it works as a replacement...

This could actually answer all the stuck fermentation-threads floating around. So, ive just set an ipa batch and airlock actvity went from crazy to nothing i 2.5 days. Wlp0007 at around 18-1 20celsius. I am reading about all these "stuck" fermentations on the forums and all of them come from...

I just brewed a second batch to prevent me from tampering with the other batch, but it just multiplied my impatience exponentially. What beer-related stuff can I do to keep myself satisfied during this period? Any preparations, like making hop tea etc, i can do in the meantime? What is your...

Hey. I have a 4 gallon and one 3 gallon pot, plus a couple pots at 2.5 gallon . Will this somehow be enough going all grain, considering all other equipment is in place?? I have a 5 gallon grain set that i bought. Thank you! Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using Home Brew mobile app

Hello! I am making a st peters ipa kit today, and i am planning on doing a full 60 min boil of the wort. The set comes with two cans of LME, and i have a wlp0007 starter ready. It also comes with a bag of hop powder - some mix of oils and hops i think. Should i add this dueing the boil...

I am lagering my lager in a secondary in a week or two, and I have to choose between the isolated basement at 14 celsius and the garage, that is almost always above freezing (4-5 degrees). Should I go with garage? Will it help to wrap blankets or a douve or something around the carboy to...

So, I just added 200 grams (7 oz i think) of beer enhancer to my primary after 7 days of fermentation. I only added like 850 grams of sugar when setting the batch because I had less than I remembered, and I filled it with 1 litre of water more (to 22.5 l) than I usually do. I always think it`s...

So, I am now primary fermenting a geordie lager. I have brewed four batches before that have turned out pretty good by my standards. I have read a lot about brewing and love the sport. Although still a giant newbie.. Now I have had my Geordie Lager fermenting at 12-13 degrees celsius (53...
