Brewing the St. Paul Porter from Northern Brewer. I smacked the Wyeast pack a little hard and broke open the package and lost some of the yeast (not a lot maybe a few teaspoons). Is this going to cause problems when I pitch it?

I moved my Vanilla Weizen to the secondary about 7 days ago. There is no activity at all in the air lock. There hasn't been any since day one. It was in the primary for 3-4 days, I moved to secondary after bubbles in airlock were less than 1 per minute. Is there something wrong with the...

Here is my label for my Vanilla Weizen. I had a few other designs I posted a week ago, but something happened and I lost them so I came up with this one. Not very original, modeled after the New Belgium Sunshine label.

I ordered the Vanilla Weizen from HomebrewHeaven. If I were wanting to up the Alc% would adding 1lb of light dry malt extract at the beginning of the boil help? I think I read this somewhere but not sure if that was true. Thanks

I have a batch of Honey Brown Ale that was brewed on 11/25. I moved it to the secondary about on or around Dec 2nd. I have 2 questions: 1. What should the temp be for the secondary? It has been sitting in my storage area where the temp is between 61-64. Is this too cold? 2. I took out...

I just transfered my honey nut brown to the secondary and noticed quite a bit (about an inch) of sludge on the bottom of the primary. Is it normal to have this much? Should I be mixing up the primary during fermentation? Questioning this because my last batch of Dry irish stout didn't quite...

I am going to need to ship some beer for Christmas for gifts. Anyone have any good tips on the best way to accomplish this? I will be sending about 3-4 six packs of bottles from Minnesota to Mississippi

Here are my 2 latest labels...just thought I would share.

What is the recommended temp for my Dry Irish Stout (from NB). I have it in the secondary, under my stairs in the basement where it is between 60-63. Is this OK? Where can I find this information? Thanks

I bottled my first batch of dunkelweizen a week ago and had a bottle or 2 this weekend and it was great! I started a second batch last Monday, the Dry Irish Stout from NB. I put it into the primary on Monday the 31st and by Friday night there was no activity and the foam had retreated. This...

Moved my dunkel to the secondary fermenter after 9 days in primary. Been in secondary for 7-10 days in temp of 62-67, dark room. I peeked today and noticed some white things appearing on top of beer. They kind of look like little foam bubbles but also look like it could be some sort of mold...

Just moved my dunkelweizen to the secondary fermenter after 10 days. Color looks great, smells awesome and even tastes pretty good! I took a hydrometer reading today after transfering and the alcohol % is only around 2. Will this % increase over the next few weeks in the secondary and bottles...
