    Airlock fell off of Fermentor

    Hello, I woke up this morning and noticed the airlock and bung on my fermentor fell off overnight. I am assuming my cat possibly brushed up against it and it fell off on the floor. I have never had this happen. All of the StarSan liquid came out and already dried. I am assuming it had been...

    Bottle bombs?

    Hello, I just finished bottling my first ever all grain recipe I created. I have always done extract brews and finally graduated to all grain. I have had this beer fermenting for 15 days.

    Carbonation question

    I use the Northern Brewer fizz drops (sugar drops) for carbing my bottles. They have worked ok so far but seem to take a lot longer 4-5 weeks to carb the 12 ounce bottles (6% ABV IPAs). In the instructions, it says to just place 1 drop in each bottle. These don't have to be sanitized first with...

    How Much Hops? Supplier?

    Hello, I am new to home brewing and have brewed 3 successful batches of IPA's using Northern Brewer extract kits. I started with 1 gallon batches and my last one was a 2 gallon batch. I plan on sticking with 2 gallon batches because its just the right amount of beer I can store at one time in...
