Just got done cleaning up after a busy brew day, 5 Gal of a Pale Ale, and then 2 batches of Mead. It was my first time and I hope in 4 months or more they are doing good. I did a sweet mead and one that I will be adding raspberry too soon. Thanks for all the info I was able to gather from y'all.

So I finish my brew day and go to clean my pot and there it is a burnt spot of extract about the size of a quarter in the middle of my pot. I thought I did a good job of adding a bit at a time and making sure it was dissolved before moving back to the heat. Oh well, I think I should still be...

Ok, so I just want to ask a few things and see if I am lost or not. If I want 3 beers on tap and one of them a stout on Beer Gas (Nitrogen and CO2) then 2 kegs would be hooked up to just CO2 and 1 up to the Beer Gas, right? No keg would be hooked up to both. Next, What is the reason to...

So my barley wine has been in the secondary for 2 months and its time to bottle it before I leave for Afghanistan for 6 months. I was wondering if you use less priming sugar for a barley wine than for a ale. Does anyone out there know how much priming sugar I should use. Thanks, John
