    Quickie...

    I'm kegging most of my 5 gallon brew. However, I would like to bottle 12 of them so I can hand them out as samples. I have set aside 1-1/4c of DME, but how much would I use in each bottle to get me the correct carbonation?

Any ideas for a recipe for a partial...

    I'm trying to bitter up my pale ale because I didn't boil my hops when making my wort (earlier post). I need to know how much water I should boil for 1oz of hops. I already have 5 gals of beer but I need to have a strong tea to bitter it up...Any suggestions? My final gravity is 1.012...

    Halfway through

    This is my first brew and it happened to be a partial mash. I made to the first fermentation ok and it is going like crazy (love the Wyeast packs). My fermentation lock however went from clear to now filled with sediment and a cloudy beer liquid. Is this normal or do I have too much pressure...

    Boiling?

    This is my first attempt at homebrewing. I have this book I have over 5 times trying to be as meticulous as possible. One question I have is boiling procedures. When I first throw in my hops to my wort it says to boil for 45-60 minutes. I am making a pale ale and the book says to keep the...
