Hello all, been a long time since I posted here, been very ill unfortunately. I am a beer guy, and always wanted to make some wine, so I thought I'd just try out a small batch and see what happened. Unfortunately, despite my cleanliness routine and thorough sanitizing with TSP followed by this...

Hi all, I recently bought a big Weston brand Stainless steel dehydrator and was excited to make jerky for the first time, but quickly became confused about how to do so after reading the warnings about possible e-coli contamination. I have read countless recipes (and read countless forums...

I just received some hop seeds that I purchased online from the UK, and I'm wondering about how they will taste in my beer as they are simply labeled "common hops". The species name is shown as "Humulus Lupulus". The online description of the hops didn't say anything about what "specific"...

Hi all, I made a really good Coopers IPS by adding some grains and my own hops to it, and some DME as well, I was REALLy impressed with it, and will definitely brew it again. What I'm considering at this time is brewing the same beer only this time NOT adding the can of Coopers ale to it...

Hi all, I'm using a couple glass carboys as my primary fermenter, and plan on leaving the wort in the fermenter for a couple weeks or until it's ready to bottle, and not use a secondary fermenter at all. My one and only plastic bucket currently is busy with a batch of Festa West Coast IPA...

Hi all, I'm only on my 3rd batch of beer, i've already drank the 1st Brew House IPA beer I brewed and bottled, it went off without a hitch, and have just bottled a batch of Brew House Pale Ale now. While the Pale Ale is bottle conditioning, i just started a new batch of Festa West Coast IPA...

Hey, I've got a question about bottling. My beer is now bottled, and sitting at "room temperature" in a dark place in a cupboard, the problem is that the room is kinda cool, tonight, it's dropped down to about 60 degrees or so, so I turned the heater on to hopefully bring it up a bit to...

Hi all, I was referred here by a Canadian supplier who has also been giving me some advice, I am brand new to brewing beer, and have just bottled my very 1st batch of India Pale Ale. I used "The Brew House" brand IPA liquid wort kit, and have only thus far a meager beginners brewing...
