Had some bad luck with some yeast, and the NB Dry Irish I brewed up got stuck at an FG of 1.028 after 4.5 weeks in primary. Is it alright to throw more yeast in? It was just a dry Safale 04

Had one of the Wyeast activators that never really ended up swelling up all the way. It had an ice pack on the truck but it was still hot by the time the delivery got to me in the Texas heat wave, so I think it might've been damaged. Anyway. I pitched it in half swollen and didn't get any...

I tried the soapy water squirt bottle with one of those 2 or 3 oz. little squirt bottles with no luck. Maybe I'm missing somewhere? Are these bubbles supposed to be large? We thought we could hear the leak on the gas line or post, and we lost a full 5# tank before the first beer was gone (it...

Went to the kegerator and went to pour the beer to find out my beer wouldn't pour and the regulator read 0 psi. This is the first beer I've had on tap and it's been carbonating for about 3 weeks now, and has been fine. This was with a brand new CO2 tank. Is it empty? The keg was sealed and...

I've seen a lot more on Apricot Hefeweizen beers, but I was thinking this could taste really great. I've never done the fruit thing and I am pretty new to this, so I was just going to use an existing cream ale recipe and add maybe 3 to 4 pounds of apricot puree. I definitely want the apricot...

I'm probably minimum six months away from this, but I'm hearing some conflicting things, and I'd rather ask you guys on this one. I've just been doing extract brewing and so far we just got a Turkey Fryer with a 7.5 Gallon aluminum pot. We have a 4 gallon as well. No coolers or anything. No...

So me and my roommates decided to get a homebrew kit last semester. A really awesome and expensive one. We researched and researched and got help from our local homebrew store and brewed up our first batch. However, it ended up tasting like Keystone light with a bitterness that was not supposed...
