So I recently moved and am still looking for a really nice Homebrew store close to home. Most of what I've found are the "Organic Garden" stores with a carboy and some malts on a shelf. Long story short they didn't have any Hallertauer so I did the A) Next best thing B) wtf did I do? C) All of...

Hey HBT! Edit: meant this to be in General Beer Discussion. I must a got lost somewhere along the way. I'm going to be bottling a batch here in a bit. I'm going to be using DME for the first time and am curious if that will affect the taste at all? It's a plain light DME? Can't remember the...

Great movie! Now on to my question :D 3 days later and my Primary isn't doing anything... NOTHING I TELL YOU NOTHING! It's kinda ticking me off. I've never had this happen before so any suggestions? I have some Yeast Nutrients I could feed it but I don't think that would do anything. Is...

Just a word of advice for us newbies about bottling. It may seem easy to just top off a bunch of bottles then cap them. This keeps you from switching back and forth and back and forth. Well having a bunch of uncapped bottles sitting in the floor is a very bad idea. If one falls, they all fall...

Found Via fark.com Sounds like an interesting idea. Seems to be popular enough to draw attention even from law makers. I just don't think it would be any good. First your CO2 would come out of suspension(thats why you don't freeze beer in bottles/cans). Next wouldn't the water and alcohol...

Sorry guys no NSFW pics, Just cool beer ones!!! I get a phone call at work around 3:00AM, I work graveyard at a hotel. Its my wife telling me my carboy exploded... I started to cry, I thought the damn glass had shattered or something. Turns out my Nut Brown fermented out the top and pushed...

Doing a Brewerst Best Kit for an American Nut Brown. Did the whole boil great. Tried whirlpooling for the first time with debated results..... But my question is. My OG is off, the directions state 1.5ish and mine clocks in at 1.41. How is this going to affect things? Any idea how to...

Marketed for kids! Evidently its nothing new, but it is still cool, and scary.

I'm doing the 1-2-3 method everyone seems to like here on my second batch. This will be my first time using a secondary. I do believe it will help this Red Ale out a lot. I got it transfered over just now and took a bath with my carboy. Hehe the wife would kill me if I didn't clean that mess up...

So... Who likes head and why? I've read a lot on these forums questions and answers on how to get good head. What I don't understand is why? Maybe I'm showing my inexperience with beers or maybe just my preference showing but the only thing I find head good for is a good white mustache, and my...

I remember someone somewhere telling me not to use plastic bottles, like coke or water bottles, for my home brews. I think this comes from the twist off caps more than anything, but I can't really find any information about it. I'm happy sticking with glass bottles but I think the wife wants...

Hi everybody. Love this site. Been going over it for the past 2 days. Lots of great stuff here! Well I'm a newbie brewer. I've successfully done one batch and am currently "working" on the second one! Hopefully it will turn out as well as the first. So far its just been messier than the...

I'm needing a little advice on my second baby here. A little background first. My first batch of Oktoberfest.... excellent, a great hit with my family and neighbor. This batch as you will see in the pictures below is well.... Very enthusiastic! Its a red ale, Brewers Best Kit. The only thing...
