Sunday's don't get much better!

After three days in secondary, my dry hop nylon bag (boiled and sanitized) is sitting at the top of the carboy and this is forming around it. Looks like trub/yeast maybe? Should I be worried? Also, notice that the hop bag was forced somehow up into the neck of the carboy and somehow beer...

Just finished a 6'er and must say that this stuff is fantastic! Can we clone it?

I have a Double IPA that is about 6 days into fermentation which is gassing quite a bit of sulfur as a byproduct (Used White Labs California V Yeast). After lots of research on this forum, there seems to be a split consensus on whether or not this is a problem or anything to be alarmed of...

My second batch finished fermentation in the secondary tonight, and I became enlightened to a few things... 1. Fermenter's Favorites bottling wand is a POS 2. Beer caps do not fit on all bottles 3. Bottling sucks 4. I need to find a few more kegs 5. Wasting beer REALLY sucks 6. Bottling sucks...

Very new to brewing, and just finished my 3rd brew day (I'll be bottling my first batch next week). I noticed tonight when I finished the boil and got the wort into the carboy that all of my beers are turning out pretty dark. First was an IPA that I added 4 oz. more hops to than the recipe...

Just came home to a starter I made this morning for a batch I am brewing tomorrow and saw this in the krausen? Any idea what this might be? Trying to decide whether to pitch it in my beer or pitch it in the trash...
