Ok. I bought the oatmeal stout partial mash from Northern Brewers. I brewed it and put it in the pail........for three weeks. I got really busy and just left it alone. I just transfered to a keg and started carbing at 7 psi at 38 degrees. How long should I wait for it to be "good"? Usually I was...

What is with this blow off tube thing? I have read people say they are actually losing beer because there is so much Krausen that it is blowing out! I've just had the pale ale or a better bottle and nothing even close. I just brewed two days ago and it is in a better bottle fermenting away...

I brewed a partial mash today. All was going very well. I chilled wort in a ice bath very quickly down to 100 degrees. I ptched my liquid yeast.......and looked up and saw my LME and DME still sitting on the table!!!! I just spent an hour boiling hops and the liquid from the 5 lbs of grain I...

I have added metabisulphate ( I think...I'm not next to the bottle) to stop fermentation in my cider. I am then going to backsweeten with some organic cider. My question is how do I then carbonate in bottles if I have stopped the fermentation process?

I'M TALKING ABOUT HOSE LENGTH! I just bought my first keg setup and I am having foam issues. After checking temp (fine) and realizing I'm new and I probably overcarbed I purged several times. Now the beer tastes carbed but not too fizzy. actually I like a little more so I am sure it is not over...

I just racked my Oktoberfest to a secondary after 10 days of fermenting. I tried all of the must that I used for gauging the gravity. Every sip I tried was tastey but it had a very familiar taste.......IDOPHEOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there anything I can do...

The recipe for mead that I made on sunday tells me to add some yeast starter at the beginning and then two more times when the Specific gravity drops down to "x" and then again at "x". My question is when should I start checking? I was under the impression I should leave it alone for a couple...

I am looking for a good program for beer labels that is FREE! Any good ones or is it "you get what you pay for" kind of thing. Thanks ahead of time!!!
