So about a year ago I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Graff, it's been sitting in a carboy tucked away in a closet. I got lazy and pretty much forgot about it. I'm going to start brewing again after a short hiatus and figured I'd see if I can save this batch. I pulled it out and it sampled it, it...

I've only made a few batches of mead and most of them were on the sweet side. I went for a dry mead this time, my OG was 1.085 and I let it ferment for about 3 months. Last night I took a gravity reading and it was at 1.000 and I transferred it to secondary on top of some raspberries. I...

Thanks, everything went well, I pitched the starter into my Stout I brewed today and the thing is already fermenting like crazy!

I did shake it and have been swirling it, but still see no signs of krausen or anything else on the surface. The room temp was about 70-72. Here's how it looks right now:

This is the first time making a yeast starter and I hope I did this right, hopefully you guys can help me out. I went to my lhbs yesterday and picked up one of the more beer 1000ml yeast starter kits. I boiled the included packets of DME and yeast nutrients for 15 min and poured the wort...

3 weeks ago I brewed up 2.5 gallons of something similar to the JAOM recipe, I used it as my base. I went with White Labs California Ale Yeast instead of bread yeast. I also did some yeast nutrient additions. Primary fermentation is complete I took several gravity readings and have seen no...

Ok so I did my first attempt at a batch of mead and I think I have a good start but have a question about doing staggered nutrient additions. My goal was 2.5/3 gallons sweet mead and I used 6.5lbs of orange blossom honey and 2 1/2 cups of blood orange juice, I used some White Labs California...

I saw this and it got me thinking: http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/581 Has anyone tried anything like this? For when my bank account is near Zero and I still want to brew it would be awesome to whip up a super cheap batch of brew, except I would prefer that it actually taste somewhat...

You are correct, I will be bottling ... but damn I need to get my act together and start kegging. I may let it sit in secondary a few more weeks then see if I get any action out of it.

1 month ago I brewed up a simple 2.5 gallon batch of cider. I used 2.5 gallons of juice, 1 cup of sugar and used White Labs cider yeast, my OG was 1.062. Over the last week I have been taking gravity readings and it's been steady at 1.001 and I transferred it to a secondary carboy to hopefully...

That's what I was hoping for, I was hoping the boil is what did all the work! Thanks!

I did a Honey Wheat extract recipe 8 days ago, my first return to brewing in about 2 years. In this batch I had quite an active fermentation going and had a fair amount of blow off, this is the first time that I've ever had that happen to me. I noticed that while it was blowing off and...
