Hi, I ran across a 1kg package of dried wine yeast and only plan to use a small portion of it. Can I just repackage the rest into a mason jar and store in the fridge?

I remember a few months back seeing a label or logo for apfelwein depicting an apple wearing I think Lederhosen. It was a very colorful and looked prefessionally designed. I searched the forums and didn't have much luck. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks.

A friend and I were talking about using plants that could be found in the back yard to brew and he suggested dandelions which led me to check it out online. I did a quick google search and sure enough I found this from azdrinkrecipes.com it makes 8 pints: Dandelion and burdock beer...

Hi, I was thinking about brewing this as my next batch. It's supposed to be a beginner level brew and since I'm still a beginner having only brewed four other batches, two of which are still in the primary, if this would be a good choice. I do enjoy belgian beers. At this point I have only...

Just got the chance to taste a small sample of my second batch. It's been in the bottle for a week. It's almost delicious! It definitely tastes like it could use some more time, but :ban: ! It's an extract kit, True Brew oktoberfest. I'm very pleased right now, definitely looking forward to...

Recently at the supermarket I ran across a product from Lysol that sanitizes food surfaces. The product comes in a 22 FL OZ spray bottle. At the end of the directions it says "Do Not Rinse" and it is for use on food preparation surfaces. It also says it only needs to stand for 60 seconds. This...

I'm sure many of you already know the answer to this. Most of you will probably say "Sun Light" but there's more to it. I found this really interesting article on the subject and thought I would share it. Basically some chemists from the University of North Carolina At Chapel Hill did some...

Hi, I was wondering how to go about using the steeping grains without a grain bag. I heard that the grain bags can cause too much astringency due to the particles being released through the bag. I was advised to use a strainer instead and to run the boiling water from one pan through the...

I checked the gravity reading today and the beer is 1.015 to 1.012 which is right on target. It is in the primary, I'm brewing an IPA, I noticed a bit of bubbling on the surface of the brew and a very slight vinegar smell, though it could very well have been my imagination. The color looked...

Hi, I posted a label the other day for fun. I was bored today so I spent some time creating another label. Again, the images were ripped using google, so their copyrights go to their respective owners. This in itself could turn ito a full time hobby. Well, at least give me something to do while...

Hi, been here a couple of days and just realized I haven't introduced myself yet. :o With that said, my names Eric, and I'm from Ney York, just north of the city. I'm currently brewing my first batch of beer. I got the brew bug beacause of that Mr. Beer "toy" but after reading around and...

Ok, so I don't own a brewing company or anything like that. I'm actually a few days into my first brewing experience. Anyway, I thought for fun I would make a label. This is a fictional label, if it resembles any real brewing companies in any way it is purely coincidence. Some of the images were...

Hi everyone! First I just wanted to say that this forum seems really great! I've been looking around here for about an hour now and was really impressed with the knowledge here. Anyway, I just brewed my first batch of beer two days ago and have a few concerns. I bought a 6 1/2 gallon "Ale...
