    Looking for critique on my conditioning process

    So I've bottled my last three beers the same way and I'm concerned I'm screwing the pooch somewhere here. I'm going to walk through it and maybe one of you saintly experienced brewers can tell me where I'm doing something completely misguided. So, starting after brew day: 1) Store in...

    Useful trick to cheat when conditioning bottles

    So I've made a few batches now and I've learned, as I'm sure everyone has, that like Tom Petty says, the waiting is the hardest part. So I have found a solution that fits for me. Probably doesn't fit for everyone, but for me it is awesome. When I get my 48 or 50 beers 12 oz, right when...

    If I buy a BB carboy, what else do I need to buy?

    Question Regarding Partial Boils

    Does it matter *how* partial a boil it is? My stove cannot heat 5 gallons of water to a boil...at least if it can, it can't do it in less than an hour. It can however heat 3 gallons of water to a boil. So if I were to make this recipe using 3 gallons of water in the pot instead of 1...

    help choosing the right equipment for a second hand 5 gal carboy

    So I recently told a friend of mine that I brewed a not crappy batch of beer. He informed me that he had one glass carboy (containing exactly 1 dead mummified mouse) and one what looks like plastic bottling bucket, but one that comes with a airtight seal (minus 1 o-ring), that I don't recognize...

    Hello From The North Country

    Hey, I'm a new brewer, I got referred here from another forum I'm very active in. Basically I know nothing, and I'm anxious to learn. So far the only thing I've used is a true brew kit.
