    Bottle conditioning - carbed but has green apple off-flavor?

    I have a fully-carbed pale that I bottled about 1.5 months ago, & the green apple taste is pretty strong, to the point that it's almost cider-y on the end. It fermented for a full 3 weeks, had a stable FG of ~1.010 for a week, & my sample at bottling time tasted amazing, so the green apple isn't...

    Rubber piece fell in my boil... is my batch ruined?

    So I use a clamp to hold the hop sack on the side of the BK, & it has a rubber cover on it. While brewing a porter, itt fell in the boil... I got it out as quick as possible (it was at the end of the boil), but it was in there for awhile... So I know that rubber gaskets are used in weldless...

    What's th best plate chiller out there right now?

    I'm ready to buy a plate chiller now, & if I have to spend $300 for the best one I'm ok with that. Is Blichmann the best way to go? I'm also planning on buying a brewmagic system in the near future, but I'd like to do a few more brews before I get that purchased, up, & running. I know you...

    Springless Bottle Filler

    I ordered one of these & just received it... having never used one before, & seeing how loose the tip is, I'm skeptical of it's ability to not leak. Also, I can't get it apart for the life of me. Not sure how I'm going to be able to fully clean it. Anyone have any experience using a...

    medicinal/plastic & astringent off-flavors - WTF

    Hey all. I've been brewing for just over a year now, and produced over a dozen beers, with barely a perceptible off-flavor in the bunch. However, my last 3 brews all have off-flavors, my last 2 having a distinct plastic/vinyl band-aid type medicinal flavor. :mad: I brewed an IPA with a $#!+ ton...

    New brewer in LA

    Hey guys! I just started brewing around 3 months ago, but it's something I've been wanting to do for awhile. When I finally did jump in, I jumped in with both feet... so far I have brewed/bottled a pale ale, a red, and a raspberry wheat, and each recipe a tweaked slightly (all extract...
