I have a beer that has been in my closet in its primary since the end of May. Its been in a closet at room temperature over the last 6 months. I opened it tonight and had a thin layer of gunk on the top and smelled really banana'e which i figured being a wheat beer and sitting room temperature...

Im thinking about using a paint straining bag to add my strawberries in for my last beer. Im a little nervous about sanitizing the bag and strawberries and how i leave it in the bucket. Anyone have any pics or advise?? Thanks!

Here are some pics from my 2nd bottling day.

Brewers best imperial blonde ale. Boiled partial boil. Sat in primary for 4 weeks. Been bottled for 3 weeks today. Stick one in fridge last night to try. When I opened there was a little siss. Taste strong which it is supposed to be, but it tasted more hoppy than I expected. How will the taste...

So today was my 3rd brew so far. I'm making a strawberry beer, so this will be interesting. Some firsts today were doing a full boil. My 7.5 gallon pot worked just fine. Also using oxygen for the first time and it worked great! Now all I need to do is mastermind what I'm gonna do with the...

I will be using a 5 gallon straining sack for putting strawberries in my secondary here in a couple weeks. How do i sanatize the sack when i put it in with the strawberries?

This is totally by opinion from anyone who has made or tasted either. The strawberry alarm recipe or the succulent strawberry blonde recipe? Or does anyone have a recipe they think is better? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f75/strawberry-alarm-clock-v3-0-strawberry-blonde-132129/...

I was thinking of doing an American Pale Ale beer. I will be doing an extract, so if im using 1/2 lb of each of these grains (Crystal 40, Crystal 75 and biscuit malt), can i just steep them for 20 minutes in a full 5 gallon boil? Or do these need to be crushed first? I am also using 7lbs of DME.

I must say this wasnt as bad as I expected it to be. Took about 2.5 hours from start to finish. Filled up 45 12 oz bottles and one 32 oz bottle. I must say the worst part of it all was clean up :)

So ive read through some previous posts about this and cant find a clear answer. Can i start with 6-6.5 gallons of water and steep my grains just like directions say or do i need to steep with 2.5 gallons then add water before the boil? I also seen the hop debate about switching too. Are these...

Brewed a Witbier today from brewers best. I forgot to add some Irish moss to this will this make any difference with this beer? I checked my 1st beer I brewed and have some questions. I opened this for the first time today since I brewed a month ago this Tuesday. There was krausen around the...

I was looking for a place to buy a kegging system. I seen midwest came with 2 kegs and the co2 tank and everything. Is there any better deal out there?

I brewed my BB Imperial blonde ale 3 weeks ago today. Should i take a reading today or wait another week or longer? It has been sitting in the primary this whole time and i havent touched it yet. I wasnt sure with it being a higher alcohol percentage beer? Thanks!

Does anyone have any plans for a nice tap handle holder? I have a couple sitting around and would like to make a display for them somehow..

Can someone simplify the All grain process for me? Like what grain you use and why and what you get out of them? And how the 3 teir setups work you see everyone building?

What Brewers best kit would help me achieve a beer thats closest to blue moon?

Wish me luck please! Just finishing up the wort here..

Lets say i go by just using a primary for my beer and not use a secondary. Since my kit came with a bucket and a plastic carboy, i could techniqually do 2 batches at one time?

ok i have a 5 gallon jug from cullegan that fits on a water dispenser. If i fill it with tap water and drop a campden tablet crushed in there and leave the lid on it that has a small hold in it, will my water be ok the next day? Also to replace boil off after using the 5 gallon would it hurt to...
