    Water Chemistry on the fly

    Hi there, so I have brewed a couple of porters that have been duds. I found online that water chemistry might be the cause of this because the roasted grains have such acidity. The site recommended 1gram of baking soda per gallon of brewing water in a porter. I don't have access to my water...

    Adding yeast when bottling lager

    I'm planning on bottling my first lager in just a couple of days and I was wondering if I need to add yeast. Brew day was a little over 8 weeks ago. I've heard that adding some yeast of the same strain won't do any harm, but I am curious, what harm could I do if I don't add any yeast?

    Stuck fermentation... I think.

    Hello all! This is my first post as I am new to the forum (well I have been reading a lot) and I am new to homebrewing. Just finished brewing our fourth batch of beer on Saturday (6/27/15) using Northern Brewer’s Sierra Madre Pale Ale kit. We opted for the liquid yeast (Wyeast 1056) and did...
