here is my first attempt at a beer label. "Skinner" was my nickname as a kid given by my dad.

I figure there is a thread out there already but I was unable to find what I was looking for. Question is this: this is my first time cold crashing. Since I'm used to bottling room temp beer I would typically bottle an ale w/ 5 oz of priming sugar to get my desired carb. since cold crashing...

I was wondering if anyone here has used the "Buon Vino Mini Jet" that is used for wine to filter out their beer? If so, is it worth the investment?

Yesterday I quickly decided that I was going to brew another stout this weekend. So I went to the local homebrew shoppe which is more of a wine shoppe to get my lb of roasted and lb of chocolate. (note: this place is pretty much good for the quick fix....not a enough selection and pricey -...

I was just wondering how critical aerating your wort is if pitching on to a yeast cake. From what I understand, the oxygen is for yeast growth....so could this step be taken out of the process when using a yeast cake? Curious

As I was making dinner last night, I had a realization that made me proud to a man. I was cooking some venison tenderloin from a doe that I harvested this weekend along with some veggies from the garden drinking a homebrew. I realized that not one item was store brought and that I had...

Guys, I was just wondering a few things about the difference between DME and Priming Sugar. 1. lb by lb are the two the same for qty.? Does 4 oz of DME = 4 oz of Priming Sugar or is there a slight difference? 2. Due to DME being a little more complex, would the 3 wk rule still stand...

Guys, I'm having some custome made tap handels made since I have a neighbor who is into wood making. My question is, since I do not keg yet, what should the hole size be for the connection between the tap and handel? Some might ask why I am jumping the gun and getting custome handels...

I was wondering if anyone here could recommend some brewerys and/or brew around Bar Harbour, Maine. The wife and I will be going the first week in Sept. for vacation....looking forward to it. Thanks

I have read a few threads on people who collect yeast from bottles such as Bell's and so forth. I've also read about yeast washing after fermentation and pitching on top of a cake. I've got to thinking, has anyone tried collecting/ranching their yeast out of their own bottles and making a...

Guys, Basically I just threw this together on a whim and looking for some....what the h#ll are you doing advice, if any. I plan on making this, just cause I'm curious as to what it will taste like, but would like the recipe to be within it's style range. So let the scolding begin...

Question, Next weekend I am brewing Blacklabs "orange/cascade" ale. Is adding a bit of Victory malt along with using 2-Row a good subsitute for the Marris Otter he is using in his recipe? Grain bill as follows for a 5 gallon batch: 9 lbs Maris Otter 1 lbs Vienna Malt 1 lbs Crystal...

I bottled a batch about seven weeks ago with the help of a friend who came to visit from out of town. Wanting to include him and introduce him to homebrewing, I let him cap. I just tried a bottle last night and it's semi-flat!!!! Looking at the caps, I can tell that they didn't seal...

It was a proud moment for me last night. My wife who rarely drinks beer in the first place and when she does, will only drink bud light has always been forced to a least take a sip of my creations. The response has always been....ugh. Well friday night I came home from a ball game to find...

Question for you guys out there, it is probably one of those GOOD problems. I made an Ale (AG) with the assumption of poor efficency. My problem is that I got 80% efficency with this batch. My S.G. was @ 1.060 and F.G. @ 1.011 (6.4% Alc) Above the style guide lines. Reciepe...

I've been playing around with this recipe for a while now. I would like to get some insight from my fellow brewers on what they think. Just a heads up, I used EdWorts Haus Pale Ale as a backbone for this expeirment. Also, anyone have an idea on what style this would fall under? 9 lbs – 2...

I am just curious if anyone would know how close these two yeasts are in characteristics or in differences for that matter. I see a lot of reciepes that call out for Irish Ale yeast and was wondering (to save money) if S04 would give me the same profile. I suspect that it would, but would...

I have heard different things, some say add some nuetral yeast to the priming sugar when bottling and others say that there is enough yeast in suspension to carb. the beer. I have a Lager that has been lagering for 2 months now at 36 deg. F. I am hoping to not add yeast but would like to...

Just out of curiosity guys, I just brewed my first AG last week. It was a recipe from Tele Twanger (thanks by the way, Austin Homebrew's clone wasn't what I was expecting, more like a pale ale rather than a Boston Ale) Anyway the recipe goes as follows: Mash: 8.0 lbs Pale Malt (used...
