Im looking for an AG clone of pete's wicked wanderlust cream ale. I haven't had it in 2 years but i can still taste it.

a blond ale seems to go well with people new to craft brewing .

i got a sixer for 5.99. Had to try it. It would be what you expect from a budweiser... nothing special.

Yeah that means its working, it will die down in a few days

I may have under tightened at first. I have this fear of puncturing the whole cooler. I don't know if i should try to tighten it more or use a sealant.

Ive narrowed it down to a bad seal on the inside of the cooler. I tighened it as hard as i could, and the leak is almost fixed but it does still leak a little. I have had JB weld holding both of my side view mirrors for 6 years on my car!!

I have a leak in my MLT (48qt rubbermaid). What is a safe sealant for the inside around the nipple? I've heard silicone is ok, but just any silicone caulk from home depot?

thanks guys, i put 2 10lb weights on the lid and went to bed. the worst (or best) was over by morning. i cleaned up the top of the pail and went back to the airlock. man that wyeast #1728 is some strong stuff

its not plugged, but its actually a siphon tube put into the airlock hole. there is a lot of foam and trub flowing through.

I brewed a wee heavy last night, 24 hrs later its vigorously fermenting. problem: there is a tremendous amount of pressure built up in my ale pail with blow off tube. It seem like the pressure will eventually blow the lid off, i keep venting it to relieve pressure, but i gotta go to bed soon...

what do i need, and how do i save and reuse yeast from the primary fermenter?

Im ready to test out a bottle of wit i brewed. should i pour it like i would a bottle of hoegaarden, yeast and all?

I brewed a batch of wit last night the O.G. was 1.075!!. right now its fermenting vigorusly with wyeast belgianwit. what are some problems i may face with this heavy wit.

actually that kind of looks like my carboy. it was at the 5 gal line in my primary, but when i racked it there was quite a bit in the bottom with all the dregs. thanks

i racked a batch of belgian ale to secondary about 1 1/2 weeks ago. its a 5 gallon batch, i used a 6.5 gal carboy. i realize that there would be some room left, but it is barely over 1/2 full. i cant imagine losing more than 1/2 gallon in the racking. so is the carboy over 6.5 gal? or did i lose...

what a safe way to get a sample from a 6.5 gal carboy thats about 3/4 full? My turkey baster won't reach.

im in the process of brewing and , i just realized my sole airlock is in use on my carboy. can i temporarily use a blow off tube for an airlock untill i get to my LHBS tomorrow?

It must have activated somthing because its less that 12 hours after i pitched it and its already fermenting pretty vigorously.

I brewed my second batch tonight, everything went smooth, except with the smackpack. it was wyeast belgian ardenes, i smacked the heck out of it, i think it swelled a little, but when i was going to pitch it into the wort i saw the inner pack was only somewhat emptied, so i pitched the contents...

i just popped open another one, no foam at all, the beer is very carbonated however. the hydometer reading is around 1.015 @ 65 degrees. should i just age in the fridge (@38 degrees) for a few weeks?
