hey guys, I have my brewing setup in my partially finished garage. I love the ease of use of brewing with a cement floor, but with lots of spills and a hose spraying sometimes it gets pretty water logged on the floor. This has led to a slight issue with mold growing along the bottom of the...

hey guys, I just luckily acquired a 1990's fridge from my parents and i want to convert it into a fermentation chamber/perhaps kegerator. It's your standard two door, freezer on the top fridge on the bottom. The freezer has stopped working due to it being placed in my garage but the fridge...

I've heard that it is illegal for breweries to sell growlers in maryland. I'd like to know if this is true, i'm pretty confident that some do however. It is a law that applies to breweries and not brew pubs? I googled the subject with no conclusive answer.

hey guys, so i'm working on my own recipe for a very simple american pale ale and i want a little input on what yeast to use. I've brewed a variation of this recipe before using US-05 and it came out pretty well. But i've been seeing a lot of talk about Wyeast 1056 and whitelabs 001 and 008...

hey HBT, i have a few questions that will hopefully help me understand 1) why my beer didn't ferment down low enough, and 2) the more delicate processes of yeast and how to better ferment my beer next time around. First i should make it knowledge that i am fermenting a British Bitter using...

hi all, i'm trying to locate a web based program that for the life of me i cannot remember the name of. i'll do my best to describe what i remember. the site had an overall color scheme of orange from what i remember, on the right side of the web page was a scale that would tell you where said...

so me and my brewing buddy decided we would start out the new year right with our first attempt at all grain brewing. we got a nice igloo 10gal cooler from home depot(for 30 bucks woot woot), as well as everything else we would need, and decided to brew a simple amber ale from northern brewer...

so i've had my beer bottle primed for the past two and a half weeks. i just put one in the fridge over night and tasted it today. it seems to be a little under carbed. will this improve from sitting longer, or a longer period of time in the fridge?

so i feel as though i should start this off with the statement that i am not an all grain brewer, but i am looking to become one. i'm in the process of gathering as much info about brewing as i can so as to make good beer when the time comes. that being said, i have a question. i would like...

so right now im' fermenting a northern brewer american amber ale kit, for the first two weeks it retained a nice amber color, not 4 days into week three the color has turned into a very dark almost black shade. slightly worried that this means an infected/bad batch. this is only my second beer...
