I have heard that you can distill a wash using a water distiller (ex the type sold still spirits) I am getting really conflicting information on these across the internet when it comes to heads, hearts, and tails. Some people say that when you use an air still you don't need to worry about...

I have been thinking about making mead for a while and I decided to just go for it last night (without really looking at any recipes) and bought 6 kilo's of honey (cheap walmart stuff) and 8 500mg jars of blueberry jam (again cheap walmart stuff) I dumped the blueberry jam into a pot with...

I have never made mead before (or wine) as the idea of corking glass bottles seemed like a huge headache. I have recently got into kegging and I have a kegerator with two taps. I got a good deal on some extra ball lock kegs and I thought it would be neat to use one for wine or mead as it could...

Hi, Brand new to kegging. I have been watching the prices at best buy for a kegerator for a while now and purchased one today. It comes with a d-coupler system. I also ordered a couple of corny kegs. I am getting the impression that the d-couplers don't work with ball lock corney kegs. (but I...

I believe they just sell these kits in Canada. I wondered if anyone had tried them and how they compared to other kits (Ex. coopers) They are on sale this week so I thought about picking a couple up.

According to the direction I can use 500g light dry malt extract and 300g corn sugar. I have about 1.5kg of light malt extract and I also have corn sugar. I am wondering what people on the forum would recommend the amounts of malt extract vs. corn sugar I should use?

I have noticed a few people on these forums recommending people to leave their homebrew in the fermenting pail well after it stops bubbling. What are the advantages to this? Also I am currently brewing a coopers stout kit. On day two and three the airlock bubbled every couple seconds. Today...

Where I live acquiring supplies is quite difficult and expensive. (Due to shipping and frequently running out of stock) I wondered if using 1 liter Sprite, 7Up, or Canadian Dry Ginger Ale bottles would work for storing homebrew. They are a light green color. I was wondering if the homebrew would...
