    bottle cap sanitize

    I was planning on bottling by 4th batch of beer tomorrow. (Honey Weiss) But I'm all out of sanitizer and don't want to drive an hour to get more. I have my bottles in the oven after a thorough rinse with my jet thingy. But I obviously can't put the bottle caps in there. I've been reading on...

    Does this make sense?

    I made my first batch of beer 2-3 months ago. It was a Nut Brown Ale. I used Munton's Carb Tablets. The directions say use 3 tabs for light carbonation, 4 tabs for normal carbonation, and 5 tablets for high carbonation. I used 4 tablets in most of the bottles but thought I'd try 3 tablets in...

    Cream ale

    I have a cream ale in my primary. It was weird when I was making it because the malt stuff you add seemed almost like the malted milk stuff you put in malts.

    So...I just popped open my first home brew

    It was.... a Nut Brown Ale. It had..... a good fizz when I opened it (but that quickly faded) But... it had only been bottled for 1 1/2 weeks (I know...you're supposed to wait longer) And... it was only a half bottle (I know...you're not supposed to do half bottles) And now..... I know...

    mini mash

    Hi. I'm new. I've only brewed 2 batches and I am still waiting for them to be ready. My first was a Nut Brown Ale. It had a bag of grains that I had to steep in water then take out and add the hops and continue on with the wort. I just threw the grains out when I was finished. I hate to...

    Confessions of a bad brewer...

    My confession...... OG, FG, hydrometer, refractwhatever, DME, attentuation, mash, partial mash, cold crashing, dry hopping.....huh???? What???? I just wanna make beer. Just follow the instructions, put it in your secondary after 1-2 weeks then bottle it after another 2 weeks. Wait at least...

    Holy Bejeez! Had the last of my first batch the other night

    I'm getting sick of buying beer when I have 10 gallons sitting in my closet-5 gallons which were bottled a week ago and 5 which are still in the primary. Buying all these import beers for "taste tests" to see what I want to brew next is getting expensive. I'm going to have to break down and...

    Is my bottled beer ok?

    Ok. I'm new. I only bottled my 1st batch last weekend. But, when I was checking around here to see about using the carbonation tablets that I had bought, I read that you can end up with white floaties with them. Did you use the carb tablets? I still used mine. Hopefully it won't gross...

    better brew pot

    THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. Last night I couldn't find a link to search forums so I read through tons of posts and didn't come across anything on the best brew pot. (But I did find a lot of other useful information.) So now, not only do I find out there is a search, but I get quick advice and...

    better brew pot

    I have a flat surface electric stove. I brewed my 1st batch in an aluminum pot and it took at least 2 hours to bring it to barely bring it to a boil then after I added the ingredients it took about another hour to get it to boil again. The whole process was extremely slow. It was brewed in a...
