I have to serve this beer at a wedding in 3 weeks. I split a 10 gallon Summer Ale and added blueberry puree to 5 gallons. I sampled the beer before adding blueberry and it was fine. 5 days in secondary and there's a bitter aftertaste. The 5 gallons without blueberry is fine. FG is 1.014 on both...

Sorry if this is already posted but I just can't find it. I'm cutting a few corners on my first AG batch so I didn't install a spigot in my keggle yet. I was planning on using a siphon until I bought the drill bit and got around to it. For now my procedure is to use a large grain bag, like AG...

First post here. Hi. I just finished my first brew and had a few questions that I would like to run by the members here. 1. When I poured my wart into the primary, I left the hot break in the kettle. I thought this was the right thing to do but now I cannot find where I read it...Is this...
