I bought some cracked grains ahead of time and tossed them in the freezer. Was that a bad idea? Should I let them thaw before using them?

I got some ~25 year old beer steins (one from the Hofbrau house complete with a lid and one unidentified chalice) and I was wondering if the paint may contain lead. Does anyone know anything about this?

I do extract brewing, which (I am told at least) will result in a higher FG than if you did all-grain brewing. Normally I end up with an FG of 1.015-1.017. I recently did a American style hef with American hef yeast (White labs). I ended up with an FG of 1.008. I am glad this happened, but does...

Hi, I am looking at the plans for a son of fermentation chiller. It say to use a regular PC cooling fan it seems. The thing is, I have a bunch of fans I could use ranging from a 12V .2 amps to a 48V 3.8 amps (I'll try to get some pictures uploaded later). Does anyone know the effect on using...

My landlord told me to stop homebrewing. His reasoning was that "we had a guy do that once and blow up his whole setup." He did not expand on his reasoning. I mean I don't think a bottle bomb can cause *that* much damage to an apartment. I'm going out on a guess here and thinking the guy was...

I used some of the excess hot water from my wort chiller to clean my secondary carboy. I also have a carboy handle on it. I was setting the carboy down using one of the handles that holds onto the neck and I would say I set it down fairly lightly (there was a little thud). Then about 10 seconds...

I made a yeast starter with a theoretical OG of around 1.09 with a volume of about 1.6 liters. I ended up putting .81lb of light DME into it. I am targeting 1.10 OG or so for my next beer (a Tripel). Should I take into account this starter when I'm doing my calculations for the boil?

I can't seem to get any FG below 1.015. I generally ferment at the higher range for ales (74F or so). I already make a yeast starter and wait ample time for fermentation, especially in the secondary. Anyone got any tips on getting it really low? I am trying to get my FG to below 1.01. Another...

I carbonated my last brew with some light DME. When I pour one into a glass I notice some yeast sediment on the bottom. I am pretty sure that I did not siphon any of the yeast from the secondary fermenter into the bottles.

http://www.ingbaytobreakers.com/ Has anyone done this event and is familiar with the rules? I wanted to brew a keg of beer so we could drink that as we walked through the streets of SF. But I heard recently they have been taking kegs away from people. Does anyone know anything about this?

How long can you keep washed yeast in the fridge for? I generally don't like to do two of the same style of beer one after another.

So I tried to make an IPA. The boil and everything went fine and now I have transferred it into secondary fermentation. The gravity was at 1.018 (a little high) during the transfers. I tasted it and the problem I have with it is that it's too light on the body for the amount of hops in there. So...

I'm interested in using a yeast starter to re-culture yeast from commercially available beers. From what I've heard the process is simple as making a starter then dumping some of the beer in. The catch is hear is that some breweries change their carbonation yeast in order to prevent people from...
