    Is my beer ruined?

    I brewed a 5 gal batch Friday night, It was an experimental spontaneous batch. Not to be confused with "Spontaneous fermentation" I actually used left over ingredients from previous batches and I even pitched Red star Baking yeast since it was late, and the home brew store was closed. When I...

    time...does it really heal all?

    Very interesting. I had made a batch of pumpkin ale last year and when all was said and done it ended up tasting like old lunch meat. I didn't know if it was infected or if it was just very phenolic. Unfourtunatley my beer sat in basement for a year and when I tryed a bottle recently it still...

    Dry hopped red ale?

    Although I'm new to dry hopping from what I can gather on the fourms is that it couldn't hurt. Your really just adding more aroma to the beer so it wont get any bitter. As for the amount I just dry hopped a 5 gal batch of cranberry wheat with about half an ounce of cascade. Its still in the...

    noob questions

    Dude just let it sit. I'm sure everyone has answered all of your questions on here. Cider takes a while to ferment out even when it looks like it's not doing anything. Maybe you didn't pitch enough yeast. Who knows? Just let it sit for a while,and you will have a better cider.

    noob questions

    It's gonna be fermenting for quite some time friend. I started two separate 1gal batches about a week ago, and the air locks are still very active. It’s very common for ciders to ferment for weeks rather than beer which only ferments for days. You will have a reasonable about of lees or...

    When to rack?

    I'm a noob to cider and I recently made TWO 1 gallon batches as an experiment. All seems well and the cider is still fermenting out after about a week. I'm curious when I can begin the racking process, since there appears to be a bit of trub accumulating on the bottom of the glass jugs. My...

    Autumn Seasonal Beer Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale (AG and Extract versions)

    Yea it works, I brew all my beers in 3-3.5 gal batches then add cold water to the rest of the wort to get the desired amount. It's a better method because you can add cold water to the wart to help it cool faster before pitching your yeast.
