My extract brews usually come out darker than they should. My latest batch of Bell's 2 Hearted Clone should have had a SRM of 8.74,but it came out at 24.3. Any ideas? HopsPop

I've got a Belgian Trippel in primary. I've had to put on a blow off tube. The Airlocks couldn't handle the CO2. I'm using a 6.5gal Big Mouth Bubbler so I've got head space. I like the Big Mouth in lieu of the plastic fermenter buckets it great for observing the yeast working. I'll just have to...

Any suggestions for de carbing my TA. I know the style favors a higher carb level,but I'm just not happy with this level. I've thought of putting a spunding valve together and calibrate it for my carb level. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Ny thoughts out there on how long I can leave a Scotch Ale in my secondary. I only have one keg and I ont have it available for a week or two. The Scotch Ale has been in the secondary 2 weeks now. Any comments would be appreciated.

I Have a second hand kegerator which I cleaned up and started using. I have had a couple of problems with it lately regarding temperature control. Today I put a new keg in. I went downstairs to check the carb pressure and found the unit wasn't cooling even though the temp. Indicator said it was...

We brewed a Midwest Altbier day before yesterday. We hit our O.G. Of 1.042. Everything looked good. The problem is with the Wyeast German Ale yeast. When we received the kit last week FedEx delivered it late in the day when the temp. Was 100 F. Immediately opened the box and refrigerated the...

Getting ready to transfer from my secondary into my Corny. (second batch kegged). First batch primed with 2.5 oz. priming sugar,pressurized to 12psi CO2,and let sit for a week at 40deg.F.,dispensed at 10 psi. Ended up a little foamy,but nice head. I would like a little more carbonation. My...

I received an old Danby Kegerator from my nephew. Holds temp. nicely and not in bad shape just some cleaning and cosmetic work. The ball lock I got is 1/4" and the spigot is 3/16". I picked up a 1/4" barbed fitting which I plan on connecting the 1/4" tubing to the 3/16" stub off the spigot. My...

Brewing a California Steam partial mash this PM. The instructions indicate to steep the mash for 45 to 75 minutes being this is the first time doing a partial mash could someone give me advice on how long to steep or what kind of visual cues in the process should I look for?

We are just doing some extract kits for now to get our technique down. We have had good luck with the 3 kits we have done,Imperial Pale Ale,English Brown,and Kolsch. We are bottling for now,but I would like to work on better clarity in the bottles. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Just transferred our our third kit (Kolsch) into the secondary yesterday. Our OG was 1.045 and our FG was 1.005. We had 2 days of active bubbling in the Primary then it stopped bubbling. We left it in the Primary for 7 days total. My question is how much more fermentation is taking place? We...

Just racked our third batch into the secondary. We did a Kolsch kit it has a great flavor and a ABV of 5.1 per our calcs. We paid attention on this batch. We'll bottle in a week and get ready for our next brew. Still having fun🍻

Never realized how much fun it is to brew your own. Got a batch of Imperial Pale Ale bottled just started drinking it 3 weeks after bottling tastes great ,good head,a little strong on the Alc.,but really has a grand aroma. Second batch bottled is an English Brown bottled week ago. Tonight we...

Bottled our first brew yesterday. We did a Imperial Pale Ale from a kit. Tasted good,smelled good,and looked good. We will wait a week and chill a bottle to see if it's ready. Got a primary English Brown going into secondary tomorrow.

Bottled our first batch of Imperial Pale Ale. Looked good,smelt good,and tasted great. Can't wait till it's ready.

We made our first kit last night a BB English Brown Ale. Everything went great a small boil over < cup we were sleeping. Added a little too much water at the end the OG is a little high. Getting decent airlock activity. Hoping for the best.&#127867;
