I was thinking about Starsan but Grapeseed Extract is made to be consumed. I just don't want that much chemicals in my beer.

I have been looking for a way to sanitize my raspberries without partially boiling them and releasing some off flavors and basically working with jam. I remember from when I lived in Mexico for a few months we use to soak everything in Grapeseed Extract. I am thinking about using it here, a few...

I bottled and there was a lot of sediment but after 3+ weeks of conditioning most of the sediment was stuck to the bottom. I now use a muslin bag with marbles and it works great. Also the Pliny kit from morebeer turned out great.

I am currently ordering the title kit from AHS. Looks pretty good but I have a question maybe you guys can answer. I always create a starter for higher gravity beers and am going to make one for this kit. I use light DME for my starter and then pitch the whole 1000ml into the fermenter. My...

Yeah it was a Pliny clone so there was quite a bit of hops. Hopefully it will settle at the bottom of the bottle. If I make this again I will either transfer to the bottling bucket or use a hop bag with marbles.

I bottled my double IPA yesterday after two weeks of dry hopping. During the bottling process alot of the hops started to kick up and in turn made it to the bottles. I bottle by auto-sipphoning from a glass carboy to the bottles and it has worked great till this time because of the hops. I am...

I just made my first starter with instructions from MoreBeer.com, they suggest stirring the starter as often as possible... Howtobrew.com does not mention anything about stirring the starter... So I was hoping to hear what everyone else does. Thanks in advance!

I will let you know how it comes out. I also order some Star-San for racking and bottling. Thanks again for everyones help.

What would be some of the bad flavors I would be looking for when I taste the beer before I bottle it. Will the bad taste be pronounced at that stage?

Great thanks ill see what happens *finger crossed* - Just a little frustrating when the kit says "everything you need to brew your first kit except the kettle and bottles". I'll chalk it up to Newbee inexperience.

So I am screwed?
