Now, I am not a scientist, nor have I researched what exactly would cause a hangover or what would make one worse than others but Friday night I didn't even drink as much as I have before, say when I drink Shock Top, Stella Artois, or Miller Lite but the hangover the next day was BRUTAL! has...

Soooo, It's already past the point of correction (I believe) if I ruined anything but I'm just wondering for next time. I'm currently brewing 5 gal Extract batches. I just racked my American Wheat into my secondary and I set aside a small sample for me to try and..... it tasted, very watered...

I'm brewing a Wheat but used Wyeast American Ale 1056 Yeast because I am adding Orange peel's to the secondary so I was looking for more of those fruity tones. Batch has been fermenting in primary now for 12 days (I broke my hydrometer unpacking my brewing equipment after our recent...

So my wife is buying me a Chest Freezer and Kegging system for my birthday in September, and she is one of thise crazy people that has to be the one that actually gives the gift. So she won't let me just buy it and say it's my birthday present. So there is this 5.3cu Chest freezer at Walmart...

Sooo, Random question. The answer won't help me much at this point, but maybe later down the line it will. When I go to my LHBS they have a lot of beers that don't have any major brewery funding their operations, they aren't a micro brewery or brewpub, some don't even have a website I can...

So I have the zest of 6 oranges sanitizing in a glade container using about 1/3 bottle of vodka (750ml). It has been chilling for about 4 hours now, and I'm itching to rack this brew! Can I dump this into my secondary and rack straight on top of the zest and vodka?

Sooo, I don't know bout anyone else... but I ALWAYS enjoy a fine cigar with my home brew, chilling up on my porch and just enjoying life! So then I got this BRILLIANT idea in my head, "Why don't you grow/dry your own tabacco leaves and roll your own Cigars." The idea almost excited me more than...

Sooooooo I have never brewed a Mead before, and after some reading it started to intrigue me. So before I purchase ingredients to brew a Mead I decided to head over to my LHBS and picked up a Chaucer's Mead (Only one they carried). This Mead came with spices to warm your mead up with, I found...

Brewing a batch of American Wheat RIGHT NOW! and I tried to change the temp of my beer fridge in time (I don't have a temp controller) but it looks like I'll be in the primary with my fridge temp around 50+.... Is this too cold for this yeast?

Ok Ya'll, Once again, as I gain experience and broaden my knowledge of brewing, I am wanting to try new brews, ingredients, styles, and types. I always just glance past the Mead/Sake sections thinking a Mead was similar to a Sake if they were in the same category (Austin HB) and I never really...

So my wife just asked me tonight the best question that only comes year around; "What Do You Want For Your Birthday?" This is the first bithday I'll have while considering my self a "brewer" so I am still only brewing extracts. So I told her I would think about it, but I know this year...

Has anyone used the Mandarin Orange Flavoring from Austin Home Brew? I planning on Boiling 1oz of Sweet Orange Peels for 15 minutes at the end of my boil, then Racking on top of 3 oz of Orange Zest in the secondary. I've heard though that Orange unfortunately loooses it's flavor rather...

Alright ya'll looking for a little n00b help here. I'm bout to order my ingredients for an American Orange Wheat, and was wondering... would using Orange Blossom Honey benefit this brew and add quite a bit of orange flavor? cause I want a fairly strong orange taste in this brew. If this...

So I'm ordering some ingredients to make an American Orange Wheat. and I thought it would be easier to just order some sweet orange peels from Midwest rather than zesting my own orange and try to remove as much rhine as possible. Anyone use these before? Recommend them?

So maybe someone can help me out. I'm pretty anal about my brewing and how "perfect" the process needs to be for me. So I was wanting to buy a Carboy Cap and just throw a 5/8" tube on it but those jokers don't fit Better Bottles. My next recipe is an American Wheat Fruit beer and am...

So I just brewed my first batch. and I just bought a house so there has been 5 weeks were I have no been able to brew another batch because my life is in boxes... but I keep reading threads on how hard it is to clean their fermenting bucket and Carboys... but for me my kraussen and everything...

I'm looking for a light, very summery (I live in NC, we have a LOT of summer), and full of flavor brew with some what of a sweet, not tart, orange flavor. I don't want to go Hefe, because I want it lighter and more orange>Coriander (if any spices have to be used at all). Any website? Midwest...

I saw a picture of this beer with a pink head (I assumed it was dyed) or had some type of alterations. But if it is possible.... let me know But I was thinking like a Strawberry blonde, a Cherry Wheat, or something along those lines. Any ideas?

Ok, trying to get a better understanding of the great Hefe! I want to brew a Hefeweisen but there is a certain kind of hefe I like. I have a local Brew Pub that has a DELIGHTFUL Hefeweisen; It is a light, a bit cloudy, and quite orange in color. It has quite a delightful orange crisp hint...
