Brew Day OVER!!! I just finished up with 2 - 5 gallon batches, a Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Stout that was my first partial Mash (and only my second beer) and an American Pale Ale (San Diego Red Tide Ale) which was an extract steeped with Crystal grains. Took exactly 6 hours to complete both...

I was just curious if anyone uses frozen milk jugs to cool their wort? I have been using this method until my neighbors wort chiller arrives, works great in a pinch and cools the wort down fast. I just finished boiling my "San Diego Red Tide Ale" and the temp dropped to 120 in less than 10...

I have both beans and REAL extract that I get from the restaurant I work at, and I am considering the idea of adding a touch of vanilla flavor to my Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Stout which I will be brewing in an hour or so. I am using 8 oz of cocoa powder for the chocolate and would like that to be...

I just racked my English IPA from primary to secondary after 2 weeks and have started a yeast culture in a Growler I had lying around. My question is, after I ferment this out can I fill them into some extra 22 oz bottles and cap them, same as if I was just bottling beer? I am looking to start...
