The subject pretty much sums it up. When and how should I transplant these? I do have a very nice harvest coming this year but they are taking over the garden!

Latest batch Had stuck fermentation which i did not discover until after 4 weeks. I am not sure how long it was stuck for. I added dry yeast and raised the temp to 65. Viola, bubbles started I thought everything was going to be ok. Another month has gone by, the beer is now at 1.011, but it...

I have my first stuck fermentation. I am pretty sure it's because I turned the heat down in the house when I went on vacation, the basement got down to around 40something degrees. So I raised the temperature to 65 hoping that would do it, but nothing. I read some of the threats that deal with...

I have a beer in the secondary fermenter. Hydrometer reading show it to be ready. I am leaving town for 4 weeks. So the question is should I keg it or should I leave it in the fermenter? Thanks

I am doing my second batch in a 10 Gallon Conical. I dry hopped the first batch with the usual pellets. The problem ended up being murky beer with tons of particles. What is the best way to avoid that, besides not dry hopping? Using leave hops? Thanks for the input.

I am wondering if there is any benefit to adding an extra pouch of wyeast? Does it get the job done quicker? Does it make the beer stronger? Does it affect the taste? Anyone have experience in this?

I decided to plant a couple of rizomes this year to grow my own hops. Both plants are doing well with lots of hops on them. Several are now almost the size of a golf ball. I harvested one and smelled it, nothing. Crushed it, rubbed it, smelled it again, nothing. Is that normal? Do they...

I finally broke down and bought a conical fermenter. I read the reviews send some e-mails and decided to spend the extra money and get a Blichmann in favor of a Brewhemoth. I just couldn't get to terms with just a 4 inch opening for cleaning. I just "transferred" my first batch from the...

The stuff smells sour, I let it sit in the secondary fermenter for almost 2 month. Doesn't taste all that bad, but I am wondering if I should just throw this one out. Does anyone know whether you can get sick from drinking sour smelling beer? I don't mean sick because you drink too much...

So after my experience with the blown lid I got some good advice about installing a vent tube which I inserted into a gallon jug half filled with water. On day two the tube was bubbling like an oxygen pump in an aquarium. Towards the end of the day it started pumping some liquid and particles...

At first I thought a piece of furniture fell over! At any rate I hear this is fairly common if you don't use a vent tube. This happened about a week ago, the fermentation continued after I put the lid back on. I transfered the wort today and it looks normal, however it smelled different...

What happens when you add yeast to the wort at about 100F?
