Hey guys I was hoping you pros could help me out im going to be bottling some beer soon and was wondering if I could put the beer in this thing would it keep it carbonated after I pour a few pints? if it only goes for a could of days Im cool with that too Thanks again guys

Just opened up a bottle from a batch that I put into a glass carboy for secondary fermentation and wow is it amazing... its crystal clear, and barely any sediment if none at all... I can drink this from the bottle... I was worried Id need to pitch more yeast, but nope its carbed up nice...

I'm curious, the palmer book I bought talks about all the different kinds of sugar, and also says how commercial brewers dont use all that much sugar (I might have read it wrong) what do they use? Id switch to using Malt extract instead of Sugar but I cant see that saving me any money at all...

I bought a liquid malt extract from my LHBS (just the syrup) and made it just like I make the coopers kinds, and well, it smells really bad (after 4 weeks in bottles too) but doesn't taste that bad... I went back to get some more, and I asked the guy if it was pre hopped and he said no...

at the 3 week mark now, Opened up one and wow, the smell is so bad I couldnt even put it in my mouth, I had to plug my nose just to drink it ... its a maple syrup beer with honey.... so I kinda thought its probably going to take longer to ferment anyways... have you guys ever made a beer...

I want to get away from bottling, but I dont want to keg just yet... can I rack my beer into a a fermenting bucket with a spout and just pour myself carbonated beer when its ready? and if so, will it stay carbonated? I figure no air is leaving when I pour it only beer,... ? walmart has...

I was at the bulk barn and they have these really small micro sized bottles of "potent" flavor extract (like a spoon full amount) I bought one of apple and one of grape and man does it smell and taste like what it says! anyways... when going to the secondary why bother steeping fruit if you...

did a stout not long ago, its been sitting for 2 weeks in bottles now, (was going to wait until at least 3 weeks before I drank them, but what I do now is keep 3 chubby soda pop bottles (you know those really small pop bottles?) and each week taste the progress of the brew... well, its really...

Im worried about some bottle bombs, but Im curious, if it makes it past a certain amount of time is it safe? like if my bottles make it past 3 weeks is it likely they will be fine by then? or can they still blow up after that? I bottled 1 2 little plastic bottle along with my glass...

Ive been using the 3 piece for my last 3 brews. But for this stout Im using a bubbler (2 chamber only) and Im not seeing any activity (I know it can take a while though) with the 3 piece if I pushed down on the lid it would bubble up... but the bubbler does not... so basicly, does a...

I read somewhere that guiniess uses isinglass to clear it out... but I got to wonder with such a dark black stout goes isinglass really matter? Im making my first stout right now and have some isinglass left over from my last batch that I was going to add to it, but is it even worth it? I...

bought this crazy looking black package of this turbo yeast (has two pouches connected to each other, one liquid nutrients, the other yeast) and I was wondering, whats the best type of beer to use with this? what are the benefits? is it better with wine or cider rather than beer?

is this possible? and if not those what about the 5 litre bubbas?

I saw a blog about someone doing a garbage pale ale, and theres a guy who goes to my local brew supply store who brews in a garbage pale too... Ive been thinking about doing this too... 28 gallons of beer anyone? any one else here do this or tried this b4?

I was thinking, instead of buying malt extract, and using that, has anyone here ever thought about using a combination of other things? like ice tea mix and say, ginseng?.... like, you could get the color and sweetness out of the ice tea, then use the ginseng for the bitterness? basically...

I had to post this, I saw another post in here about 2 weeks ago saying his brew was flat and uncarbed at 3 weeks but at the 4th it was great... and now I can say the same... I was worried but, after enough time (4 weeks and a day) my beer is carbonated perfectly, and my beer taste...

I bottled some cider a few days ago and decided to open one up just to see the progression its going to make... well, it taste like yeast and stale apples, unbearable to drink (and I can drink almost anything, I'm not picky) I know its early, but my question is, will the taste improve over...

not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, I know making alcohol at home in certain states is illegal, but I live in canada and its not, so heres my question... Im going to try to make a kiwi and lime liquor? should I just use water sugar and yeast and let it ferment into...

Just a heads up, Ikea has these 1 litre swing top lid bottles now. I bought 5 and regret not buying more... blank bottles, no ingravement here in Toronto ontario canada, they were 2 bucks each... more than likely they are cheaper in the states

so I bought this a while back and for the first batch of beer I had no problems... the 2nd batch of beer I noticed I had some difficulty on a few bottles... and now this time, I wasted about 3 caps per bottle because I couldnt get it to cap properly... is this common with these 2...
