Okay, I am a college student and I went home for the christmas break and we didn't leave any gas on in the house or any faucets dripping so you can imagine my roommate's surprise when he came home and the walls started to leak. But that is a different story. I had a porter in the secondary and...

I checked out the ingredients on the back of the cocoa and it seems like I just bought bakers sweet cocoa because the bulk of the mix is just sugar and cocoa. I didn't see any processed milk from what I could tell, although it did contain some soy. I will post the results on here when the batch...

I brewed up a batch of chocolate hazelnut porter yaesterday. The recipe called for 8 oz unsweet cocoa but I accidentally bought sweet cocoa. The recipe also only called for 8 oz unsweet cocoa and since I had the sweet I just threw the whole 16 oz in. I love this hobby because of the inherent...

This just reflects the average American beer drinker's ignorance when it comes to the beverage in their hand. If a confused public can be swayed to purchase with a recognizable brand name and "artsy" labels, then what else can modern marketing techniques persuade us to purchase? I am a college...

I am considering making a spiced christmas brew for the coming holidays and I can't seem to find a good extract recipe. I would like something with a little higher alcohol content. If anyone has any sugestions or recipes I would greatly appreciate it.

I did use irish moss. The beer is not cloudy I just have some fairly large particles floating around. I expected the particles to sink down and I could siphon my beer into the bottling bucket and keep the solid material in the carboy. When I took my turkey baster and drew off a sample for...

I racked my pale ale into the secondary fermenter about 10 days ago and I am thinking about bottling in the next 3-5 days. I took a hydrometer reading the other day and noticed some fairly large particles suspended in the brew. My question is if I can find a filter to hook up to my siphon or...

Well last Friday I boiled my first batch of beer. I bought a kit from the local brew shop and decided to go with a British Pale Ale. I did a 60 min boil and once beer was down to about 72 deg F I checked the IG at 1.04. I pitched the yeast and put on the cap and went to put on the airlock and...

Being an outdoor enthusiast I generally prefer to buy the cans for a camping trip. I like bottles but I really don't want to see broken glass on the ground after a night of drinking. I am a huge fan of bottled beer but when it comes to the outdoors I am really glad that more beer is offered in...

I heard that alcohol contents of beers change from state to state. I was told that Oklahoma's beer (budweiser and the like) has a lower alocohol content than in other states. And I also heard that Texas beer has more alcohol than in other states. Is this the truth or just a myth?

I am a college student at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and right now I looking into beginning a homebrew operation. I bought the Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian at my local brew store and I am trying to do as much research as possible to fully prepare myelf before taking the...
