Hey guys, I brewed Austin Homebrew's Cherry Stout on Sunday evening (about 48 hrs ago), and I failed to aerate the wort once it was cooled with the yeast pitched. I did so after noticing no airlock activity after 24-36 hrs, and peaking through the airlock hole and seeing no krausen forming. I...

Hey all, I have successfully completed my move to Colorado, and I am now looking for ideas on what I can brew without getting lots of off flavors. The house I live in is not air conditioned, so during the day (lately) the house is getting up to around 78 degrees, but cools down to around 67 at...

I brewed this back on February 22nd, and have sampled a few along the way, but it is really coming into its own now. I'm not sure if the pictures will show up properly, so bare with me! I had a few friends and family over for a BBQ and a few homebrews! :mug: Thanks for all the help...

My father in law is planting a variety of hops on his farm (25 plants in all), and is going to plant Triumph Barley (around 3 acres) and Oats (2 acres). Obviously, I think I could definitely make use of some of his produce! Can anyone tell me more about the Triumph Barley? He said he isn't sure...

Ok, I have let this sit for about 3.5 weeks now and I think I am in the clear (so far)! I pulled my first sample today to test the gravity, and its sitting at 1.020 at 69 degrees. This is a little higher than expected according to the directions that came with the kit (1.016). My starting...

Hey all, my first batch will be in the primary for 2 weeks this weekend and I am going to take the first reading to see where the fermentation stands. I bought my kit from Williams Brewing and I have the "siphonless fermenter" seen here...

Hey all, I just brewed my first batch this past Sunday and pitched this yeast around 1pm on Sunday...I have read that this can be a slow starting yeast, so I didn't worry when I saw no action yesterday. Lo and behold, I check on the fermenter today and the airlock is bubbling away, and it looks...

I have just finished brewing my first batch, and inevitably made a noob mistake...I think I left the "dixie cup looking" piece of my 3 piece airlock in my fermenter and pour my wort and yeast on top of it....So, I have the airlock affixed to the bucket right now, but is it even doing what it...

Hey all, Brewing my first batch today and my kit from Williams came with two packages of hops, flavoring and aroma. On the packages, they are identified as KCF 125 (flavor) and KSF 175 (aroma). Is there any way to figure out what types of hops I am using? They are pellet hops, so I don't think...

Ok, theses are the directions that came with my kit.... This is for "Belgian Harvest Ale" by Williams Brewing Co. 1. The first step in brewing is to open your William’s Brewing Kit and remove the liquid yeast pack. Set the pack on a hard surface and break its inner nutrient pouch, by...
