I'm assuming this has most likely been asked before, but I couldn't find a definite answer with my google search since mostly bread grain came up. I've done all extract kits up to this but my husband bought me a kit for Christmas with basically half the recipe in grains, which was partially due...

So I brewed a Hefeweizen kit from NB 2 weeks ago and would most likely be able to start bottling tomorrow. But am wondering if I force carbonate, do you still have to let the beer sit/mature for about 2 weeks or is it still considered "green"? I have never kegged or forced carbonated before so...

So this is probably gonna sound bad, I left a brew in a fermenter bucket for probably a good 2 years, and wondering how to tell if its bad, other than major obvious signs of mold etc... It was a Surly Bender alc content about 5%, pulled open the top and it actually smells fine, should I dump it...

So I brewed Northern Brewers Sweet Stout on January 20th and didn't get to bottling it til today, which is almost 3 months sitting in the primary. Is this a bad habit I need to break and any ideas if it will even be good to drink? Kinda nervous that I may have just wasted a whole batch of brew...

Hi I am not too familiar with cider, mostly do beer brewing. Strangely enough the hubby isn't a big beer drinker and requested some cider. I made a small 2.5 gallon recipe to give it a try, using store boughten apple cider, Lalvin Ec-1118 champagne yeast and sugar(I believe I used 5 cups)...

Ok, I just need a brag post! Hubby finally got my wort chiller done, and alls I can say is "I can't believe I did 3 batches without this thing!" It saved me from a miserable hour of an ice mess ;) I'm loving brewing so far and am on a role! Starting another batch as soon as my NB order gets here...

Ok, so I am going to be doing my 3rd extract kit (hopefully in the next week as soon as my Weizenbier is ready to go in the 2nd) --- My first 2 kits were Brewers Best since that was all I could get locally same day, but I picked up my first kit from Northern Brewer (A Bavarian Hefeweizen) with...

Hi! I've been lurking on here for a couple weeks, I have done 2 extract kits (soon to be 3 after I transfer into bottles) and am slowly learning the ropes! :) I'm also learning there aren't a ton of female brewers so I would love to hear from any on here :) I am just a crafty person that loves...
