New AHA logo announced this morning: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/ What do you guys think?

How important is it to refridgerate your beer after bottling? Obivously before I plan on drinking the beer I'll cool it down, but I can't always fit a whole batches worth in the fridge. Plus sometimes i dont always store my beer in the fridge or else I'll come back after a weekend away and...

I know I know RDWHAHB. Just wanna hear what others think. So I'm new to making a starter. After boiling about a quart of water with a half cup of DME, I let it cool. Just before pouring in the vial of yeast into the starter... I made the genius decision to shake the vial. I'd say I lost about...

I was just thinking about this the other day...if I had to choose what beer to drink for the rest of my life what would it be. Any of you guys have a homebrew recipe you would choose as the one and only from here on?

For my 4th batch I brewed an extra pale ale extract kit with specialty grains from northern brewer. It sat in primary for 2 weeks and then secondary for almost 3 weeks. I just tried the beer after two weeks of bottle conditioning and it seems pretty sweet, with not much hop flavor at all...

Started my second batch, an Irish Red Ale, and threw it into the carboy 3 days ago and the beer was bubbling and had a large amount of krausen on top. I noticed this afternoon, however, that the krausen has fallen and is basically nonexistent. The airlock is continuing to bubble at a pretty...

As a new home brewer, i definitely have alot to learn. I keep hearing that oxygen is bad for beer and can create an off flavor. When taking hydrometer readings, i am obviously opening the sealed fermentor and letting oxygen in. So, by taking multiple hydrometer readings, am i risking oxigenating...

My first home brewed batch (an american cream ale extract kit) has been in the fermentor for 2 weeks now. The foam has settled down, and the airlock has slowed to only a bubble every couple minutes. It has been an exciting couple of weeks watching the process of fermentation take place and I...

My first batch has been in the carboy for a little over a week now. I had to go out of town for 5 days due to the holidays, and the temperature on the carboy was around 68F when I left. According to my instructions the optimal temperature is between 60-72F. Due to very cold temperatures my house...

Just finished my first brew, and will begin bottling in a couple weeks. Now i have to start thinking about what i am going to do my second time around. Any recipe suggestions for a novice brewer looking to make a great, but not to complicated beer?

While in the process of cooling wort after a 60 min boil, an ice cube fell into the hot wort and melted before being able to be retrieved. Could this single ice cube ruin my batch of beer and cause a contamination?
