Trying to find a fermentation screw on lids for the 6.5g big mouth bubbler.

I’ve been brewing for one year I’m 2-2 due to bad, brewing instructions. For example, today I’m going to try and brew a partial kit from Northern Brewers. My last two BIB batches went bad. If this wasn’t my 5th time brewing, I would’ve been totally lost with the following instructions. I’ve...

My very first batch was an extract imperial Stout, the DME came in cans that I had to warm up. I open the cans but left the lid on so I could rinse some of that extract off the lid as well. On my last can the lid came off the canned and dropped in the pot. I tried to retrieve it but I thought...

I can only hit 50% of my ABV I’m a newbie and have brewed about four batches. 1-lager, 1- ale all grain, 2-stouts participle extract. I’ve always hit or exceeded my post-boil gravity. I don’t use secondary fermentation I just leave it in the fermenter for twice as long. I have a temperature...

Can a Homebrewer use screw on caps? We can all get “screw lid” bottles for free.

In the middle of brewing a Japanese rice lager and the directions were so bad that I accidentally added my 1/2 ounce of chinook hops during the 60 min steeping instead of the beginning of my 60 minute boil. How’s this going to affect the taste of my beer. I hate the taste of hops could this...

I’m going to bottle of milk stout in about a week and I’m wondering about adding bourbon to give the beer a poor man‘s attempt at bourbon barrel aging? Has anybody tried this at bottling? if it’s possible to add bourbon just before I bottle do I have to worry about adding less or more bottling...

I found this article very interesting and just as I remember the brewery tour guides pitch at the Golden Colorado Brewery on many occasions in the “olden days”! Back then after the tour the beer in the tasting room was FREE, it came in 10 oz glass and was all you could drink! Back in those...

How do you back sweeten a bitter stout with lactose before bottling without introducing extra oxygen when trying to break up all the clumps?

Ive brewed two Extract kits and as soon as I get all my Fermentables in the pot I go fro 6.5 gallons to 8 gallons. Both times boiled off 1-2 gallons before i add my hops. Here’s my question, after steeping my grains, after adding my Fermentable's, (LME, Lactose, DME, Maltodextrin) is it okay...

I have a universal slide in big mouth bubbler lid. My air trap kept getting pushed out along with the lid getting pushed up. I added some tubing to the main bubbler riser and ran the additional 4’ of hose into a 5 gallon bucket of . Bubbling was intermittent about every 10 seconds but the lid...

I added my wort + yeast 20 hours ago but discovered the lid didn't screw on my carboy so I jammed it on. I haven't seen any bubbles yet and I suspect the co2 is leaving around the threads that are not sealing. Can I rack this brew into a new carboy that I know does seal?

I tried to pioneer a new starter. I had new new packs of Imperial Yeast and as I was boiling my water I was shocked to see my bags had partially froze in the bottom of my frig. I cancelled brewday and tried to make a yeast starter or in my case a Yeast resurrecter. Didn't have the Dried malt...

I Live along the Snake River that flows from Yellowstone National Park and Teton National Park. I'm a lover of heavy milk stouts that you can cut with a knife on the cold nights of western Wyoming (just about every night of the year!). Also I enjoy Coors Light on hot summer days but I will be...
