I've posted this on another, more general site and got confusing responses. So I figured I would post it here, to a more focused group. This may only happen to me, but Im guessing it happens to everyone. If you've been drinking and you're near/over your personal limit.... every time you take...

Ok, So this question doesn't involve home brew, but store bought beer. When I buy beer, I usually buy Yuengling. My local stores usually have 16oz cans for $1 and contains the usual 4.5% alcohol. Lately one of my stores has run out of the 16oz cans so I tried the Bud Light Lime-a-rita, which is...

First off, I haven't posted much to this forum, so I fully understand if this post gets moved. With that said: I've been drinking for many years (I'm 32 now) and I've noticed something and figured I would ask to see if it happens to anyone else. When I'm at a party and have been drinking...

I haven't been on this forum in years. So when I decided to log in today I had trouble remembering my account info. As such I ended up using all of my "tries" to log in and got the "you must wait 15 minutes before trying again" message. It has now been over an hour and I am still getting the...

.OK, I had brewed a wheat beer that I had intended on flavoring with some orange peel, which I successfully did. However, when it came time to bottle, I realized I didn't have enough bottle caps. I was working 7 days a week and didn't have enough time to go to the LBH to get more (and YES, I...

I am posting in the Beginners cause this is my second batch and I consider myself still a nOOb As of yesterday, my beer had been bottled for 3 weeks. I popped one open, to find there was very little carbonation in it. I poured it into my glass and there was no foam. It has a very bitter taste...

Ok, what I really mean is. Can adding my yeast before the temp of my wort gets below 80 degrees affect the alcohol content of my final product? I'm sure it can, but I just wanted to ask here to make sure. I brewed a batch last week and after adding my ice to cool it, I only had it down to 100...

I brewed my second batch last night. And as I did the first time, I forgot to take an original gravity reading. It has been in my fermenter for 24 hours now and is nicely bubbling away. Should I open it now to take a reading, or should I wait for the fermentation to stop and take it before I...

I purchased a Wheat Beer kit the other day. I am planning on brewing it up this coming Sunday (as my equipment is currently in use with a Heavy Ale). I was told that I could add flavoring to it, so I am thinking about making it Vanilla. Is there a special "Beer Flavoring" I need to use, or will...

Well, I really only have one question, it pertains to the taste. I do see that borders has started a similar thread, but I didn't want to hijack it with my own question. After all was said and done last night with my bottling, I had 1/2 a bottle left over. I figured I could cap it, or drink...

Most if the things I've read about how to chill the wort says to put it in the sink and pack ice around it. Well, I did this and it seemed to take a long while to cool down (although, i didn't have much ice to begin with). So i began looking on the web for a faster way to do it and I found the...

Ok, so I currently have my beer in my plastic carboy. When I was at the brew store today, the lady working there gave me a crash course on how the process is done. I had bought a kit, and she gave me a second packet of yeast and told me to use both, that the stronger yeast will eat the weaker...

Hello everyone. I am interested in brewing my own beer here at home. However, I would really like to know if it's something I want to spend the time and money to get in to. Is there an inexpensive way to make a small amount of brew so I can see if it's something I want to pursue. Thanks. Towers
