Has anyone tried this yet ?

I've been brewing for about 1 year now and started off with extract kits and found they had a "funny" taste to them. Brewed about 20 of those before switching to all grains. I found I had better results with all grain but again not quite as good as my local brew pub or a commercial beer...

I'm going camping tomorrow and I dropped my keezer temp to 20 degrees. Is that too cold? Will this damage my kegs?

So I've seen a bunch of people put a heating element (1500W) in a plastic pail and use this as a boil kettle. Is this safe?

I just bought a brew pump and my question is after I soak my grains with my initial 3 gallons or whatever, can I just add the remainder of my 5gal sparge to my mash tun and just recirculate with my pump and not sparge?

Just brewed my 1st all grain batch Jan 15th and my airlock is bubbling very very slowly. Temp is at 68F and I don't know what I did wrong or am I being impatient. Brewed my second batch 2 days ago and that one isn't bubbling either. Pretty sure my seals are tight. Thoughts?

I've just recently moved to all grain ( than you yes I know) lol and I'm thinking of converting my brew pot to electric. I live in Canada and it's damn cold and I don't want to blow up my basement with propane so I brew outside in -20c temps. I'm not skilled in electrical wiring and...

So I'm switching from extract to all grains and I bought a grains kit but the instructions aren't super detailed so asking for your help. Here is what I think I should do, feel free to tell me otherwise. Boil 3gals to 149F, put grains in tun, wait 1 hour and transfer to kettle...

I'm switching from extract to all grain brewing and I'm thinking of buying grains in bulk. What diverse basics should I be keeping stocked...in other words is there a base grain that's used in most mashes or do they all differ depending on the recipe?

Ive been brewing for 4 months and Ive tried partial boils, DME, LME in my extracts kits and I find they all end up with that weird cider or almost vinegar taste. Sometimes I rehidrate my yeast and sometimes no. I ferment for about 1 week and I usually transfer to carboy and let it clear for...

Hey home brewers, check this out. Grolsh 1.5L flip top bottles.

I'm a new brewer and I'm still using extract kits ( I know, saving up for a tun) and was wondering what if any differences between dry and liquid malt extract?. Tks

I've decided to ditch my pale primary fermenter and I'm doing it straight out of a carboy. Less chances of air born contaminants and it's way easier. Is a secondary really necessary?

I just score a wack tone of Grolsh bottles and he gave the cases aswell. Straight from the Netherlands. Any one ever see these?

Anyone know where I can purchase a Marzen kit in Canada? Shipping is killing me.

Decided to Brew 3x 1 gallon batches of Hard Apple cider. Used canned apple juice with no preservatives or any added stuff. Did 1 with 1 cup of dextrose, 1 with half dextrose/half brown sugar and added 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 with all brown sugar. It's been sitting for 2 weeks and it's still...

What is the best way to sanitize my bottles before bottling?

It's been extremely warm here this week and I have 4 batches brewing. 3 of them are in tubs in water wrapped in towels with a reading of 23°. My Cooper's kit was at 27°today so I decided to hurry up and bottle it. It was done but I was gonna leave it a few more days cause I added some...

Added 28g of hop pellets to my secondary fermenter of Brew Canada red ale. Good or bad?
