I have searched and read a ton on force carbing; but didn't find anything on this. This is my first kegging, I am going to cold crash, transfer to keg cold and then force carb at 12 psi. I want to quick carb, so I will keep the gas line connected and then shake the keg like crazy. Keep...

Over Thanksgiving dinner drinking some homebrew, my dad and I started discussing ale vs. lager. He loves Sam Adams Boston Lager and claims it is so smooth because it is a lager. I yelled BS and said I can make an ALE version of Sam Adams Boston Lager that he wouldn't be able to taste the...

So I made this Blonde Ale last Sunday. It fermented out really quickly, which was good. Started at 1.049 and finished at 1.011. It has a nice color and I am itherwise pleased with it. I transferred to the secondary yesterday and added 5 lbs of pureed strawberries. So, my question is ...

... to all that helped me with my questions. Because of you I completed my first all grain batch today, with only 1 extract batch under my belt. A Blonde Ale recipe I made myself with help from Beersmith. Done with two six gallon pots, mash tun cooler, electric flattop stove. Full 5.75...

Liquid yeast,2 quart/liter starter, 1 cup DME, 24 hours. Pitch. I am wondering about aeration. Aerating your wort is only to allow enough oxygen for the yeast to reproduce, correct? A full boil will remove all of the oxygen from the wort, correct? Therefore, with a full boil and a starter...

Forgive me if this has been asked before, and I did do a search. Blue Moon kinda tastes like a cloudy Coors Light. I would like to make a Wit and will be really dissapointed if it tastes like Blue Moon.

Planing to do my first all grain soon. I have a cooler MT setup and now I am working on cooling. I am going to be boiling in a turkey fryer. I have a very large round plastic bucket that I can fill with water and ice. Can I just submerge my brew kettle in this ice water bucket and get...

I did a batch last Sunday of American Amber Ale. Been fermenting for 8 days. I looked a couple of times at it during the week and noticed a nice yeast cake. Took a hyrdrometer and it read 1.021, fg should be 1.016 so just a little longer. I'm just gonna wait until next weekend anyway. I...

Begining boil? End of boil? Primary? Secondary?

So I am new to homebrewing, did one batch of American Amber Ale extraxt which is still in the primary. I have done so much reading here, I am converting my old cooler to a mash tun and want to try a custom AG recipe. I have a copy of beersmith and just kinda threw this recipe together, but...

Seems like to me that most commercial beers in the US are lagers. Hell, even Pete's Wicked Ale is a lager. Why so many lagers over ales?

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. I have only brewed once, last week. An extract kit with a starter 6.5 gallon pail set-up. I have an extra cooler in the garage so I am going to make that into a mash tun and start AG for my next one. This forum is great and I have learned...
