Let's say I know this guy...he went to pitch his yeast and it appeared to run down the inside side of his Carboy. 24 hrs, this same guy goes to check on his baby and realizes it was actually on the OUTSIDE of the Carboy in a beautiful sticky fashion. Fermentation is bubbling along very well, but...

Hey guys, just wrapped up my first batch and after 10 days in the primary I thought id taste while getting a FG reading.I made a 3Floyds Gumballhead clone and the first taste was different than what I was expecting. The beer has a strong alcohol taste and is very sour, not the tasty wheat I was...

Hi all. Now that graduation is near I am finally ready to start home brewing! I'm very excited, but I'm also the type of person that spends way too much time dwelling over selections to ensure I get everything I will want and not just for now. I have a local home brew shop that carries...
