Although my first batch of pee is not done I decided to try another batch to get ready for summer. I used 1118 yeast and added 2 litres of cranberry juice. I was wondering if anyone has added malt and/or hops to regular skeeter pee, sort of like a Graff?

I got a hand me down bucket carboy from a friend. There is zero Air movement in the airlock, but there is a large yeast cake on the top of the liquid. Can I assume its fermenting but there might be a small leak somewhere? Maybe I will do a gravity reading in a few days. Jon Sent from my...

I am trying to make a hard lemonade from concentrated juice. I made the juice as normal, I added 1kg of malt, and sugar and yeast. It has been about 3 days and has not started to ferment at all. I have shook the carboy to give it some oxygen but no affect. I thought it might be too cold in...

I made a winter beer that has aged in the secondary for roughly 3-4 weeks. I bottled it about a week and a half ago. I tried one beer and there was NO carbonation, and ZERO Head to the beer. I have never had this issue and there should be carbonation after this amount of time. I guess I will...

Guys, last night I made a batch of beer, and I was in a bit of a rush. I rehydrated my yeast as I was adding the cold water to my wort. The yeast foamed up nicely and I was about to ad it to my wort but I noticed the side of my carboy was pretty cold. I filled it up all with cold tap water...

hi guys, I just bottled my beer from a coopers original beer kit. I added 1 kg of dextrose, and .5 oz of cascade hops. It tasted pretty good, just watered down. Perhaps once it has carbonated it will be a little better. I made a beer kit years ago and I remember it being the same...
