I store some of my potentially messier brewing supplies in a 5 gallon bucket. I also kept my undiluted Starsan in that bucket, but a couple of times I had problems with it leaking because it had fallen on its side. After the first time I put it in a ziplock bag. That did not seem to help...

This fall I will be going to Hawaii for a first birthday Luau for my nephew. I thought it might be fun to brew a tropical beer to try to smuggle over there for the party. I think my idea for a recipe is totally loony, so I thought I would call on the advice of the experts to help me out. I...

I currently have a 1995 standard refrigerator/freezer in my home. While it works perfectly fine, SWMBO thinks she needs a new fridge. I'm trying to turn this into a homebrewing opportunity. I think that I can fit this fridge barely into the corner of my garage without it being in the way of...

I've used this yeast in a couple extract kits before with no problem. One was Brewer's Best Weizenbier. The other was Midwest Supplies Hank's Hefe. Both had vigorous fermentation within 12-24 hours. Now here I am over 48 hours into fermentation and this is all I have to show for it...

I was brewing midwest supply's copper ale yesterday afternoon and I was monitoring the temperature as I was bringing everything up to a boil (grains had been steeped and malt had been added). I was hoping to ease off the heat as I approached the boiling point because I was doing 2ish gallons...

I picked up a BB Weizenbier kit about a month ago and I am hoping to brew it shortly. I have a SOFC in my garage I plan to use, but we will see how it deals with the 90+ temperatures that it has already reached this summer (I have a feeling I will be changing ice daily). Anyway, I have been...

I found the plans online on the son of fermentation chiller and it seems like a good fit for me since I would like to be able to stick my fermenter in the garage, but I don't have enough room for a fridge, it's cheap, and I can move it around easily, store it, etc. My biggest logistical issue...

I thought I would start a post based on my findings of different breweries beer bottles which had labels which were easy to remove. This is my first time brewing and I just cleaned labels off of 50+ bottles a couple nights ago by just soaking them in hot water. I know there are easier methods...

You can delete this thread.... didn't mean to double post :(

Note: I don't have a secondary fermenter and I am not planning to do any secondary fermentation with this batch. I have a batch of beer in a primary fermenter and while it's passing gas, I'm trying to do research on when to bottle. The instructions on my "Brewer's Best American Amber" said...

I got my first homebrew kit for Christmas, and started saving up bottles for it shortly thereafter. I had the family down this past weekend to brew it up and it's fermenting as I type. I stumbled across this site several times when searching google for some tips on the remaining steps (namely...
