Alright. I just brewed up a kit, continental pilsner I believe is the name of it. This will be my third batch of beer, so I've done my homework, so I feel pretty certain I carried out the steps correctly. However, after pitching the yeast, I'm not seeing any activity even after a few days...

Hi everybody, Brewing my first batches of cider, and I'm now ready to bottle I believe. I've done a long, slow fermentation over the winter and chose not to rack off for secondary fermentation. I'd say the cider has been in the primary buckets since about October (so about 6 months now)...

I'm trying to brew up a Pumpkin malt for the fall, and the recipe I'm looking at is calling for Edme Diastatic Light Malt Extract. I've been looking around and I can't find it anywhere stateside, and it seems the only distributors of it are in the UK. I'd rather not pay the extra shipping to...

So I've inherited a working side by side refrigerator that I'm going to use as my fermentation chiller in some capacity. I don't have it in my possession yet, so I haven't been able to do any measurements, but I'm kind of assuming my standard carboy and bucket fermentors aren't going to fit on...

Using the same leaf hops for aroma and for a sort of 'dry hopping' in the primary? I just went for it and I'm hoping no one tells me I ruined my brew, ha ha.

Any printmaking homebrewers out there? I'm thinking about using screen printing or lithography to do my labels. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this approach.

I've heard that fluctuations as subtle as 5 degrees during fermentation can affect the final beer quality. With this in mind, I'm concerned about my ability to maintain a constant temperature for my batches. My apartment isn't very well insulated, so during the summer it gets hot during the...
