Thanks. Now I have to build one and get started.

I'm about to buy a cooler for my mash tun. I want to use a 10gal round cooler but I'm not sure the capacity is large enough for making big beers like Barley wines and the like. Any help would be appreciated.

In most recipes state to put your chiller in the wort and boil for the last 15min. Is it ok to leave a chiller in a bucket of StarSan until its needed? Does the StarSan affect the copper tubing in any way?

Just a newbie question. Whats the difference between a Saison and Biere de Garde?

I like Northern Brewer but I really like Annapolis home brews kit. Developed in house. Excellent taste and large selection.

At the present time, I have 3 buckets and 1 Better Bottle carboy. I was walking through the grocery store last night and spoted a 5 gallon water bottle which contained spring water. Are these bottles different then Better Bottles. $6.00 is a tempting price tag.

ajf, I did aerate it but I don't believe it was enough. I'm going to take another reading tonight. We'll see.

I just took another gravity reading and its at 1.023. Should I just let it go or is it finished?

A few days into fermentation, the temp did get down to 63. I then moved it to a room where 68 is a constant. The air lock kept bubbling the whole time. I used White Labs WPL004 and made a starter. The only thing I may have missed was stirring after pitching, I really don't remember.

I did make a starter. I has been a steady 68 degrees in the room.

Hello everybody. My second brew, Brewers Best Irish Stout, has been in the bucket for 11 days. I took a gravity reading today and with the temp correction I'm getting 1.025. My OG was 1.043. Is my fermentation stuck? I also was wondering if it's ok to give the beer a stir. Am I being impatient...

I just have a question about Irish Moss. I was reading in "How to Brew", and it said Irish Moss is not supposed to be used in extract brewing. Is this true and does anyone use it anyway? Thanks

I'm new here and I have a few questions. To start, I have brewed my first batch and it is now in the bottles. It's been 2 weeks and there doesn't seem to be much head. The beer tastes great but I was hoping for a nice creamy head. I followed the instructions from the kit, 2 cups of water boiled...
