Hey, what did the wit beer recipe end up looking like. I'm thinking of doing a partial mash, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any suggestions

If I have left over hop pellets, can I just put them in a zip lock, throw 'em in the fridge, and be able to use them a few weeks later? Or do they go bad? How would one store left over hops?

I know, a 6.5g would be nice, that's what I used to have but I moved to another state and had to sell it. The homebrew store by me only sells 6g. So, I'm not sure if those carboys can be shipped or not

Well the problem has been diverted. I removed the the airlock, not without incident. When I took it out, dry hops went spewing all over the walls, very messy, very funny. Definitely a good things that I got to it then, as Walker-san mentioned, the hops were starting to clog the airlock tube. I...

Thanks guys

Ok so this is the third batch that I've started in my young brewing career. Here's what's happening. I brewed on Sunday. On Monday I saw the beginnings of fermentation. But now things are going a little crazy I think. The water in the airlock has turned a light brown and a foam is coming up out...

thanks everyone

I'm going to be flying across the country soon and wanted to take some of my homebrew with me. I was wondering if one can bring beer onto a plane. And also if this could somehow ruin the beer, although I don't see why it would. Anyways, anyone with some experience with that? woops, i meant to...

I must say that licorice/star anise sounds appealing, especially in a stout. Also with some chocolate malt might be good. I'm just wary of making a bad batch, in terms of leaving it in too long, or not enough, haha that's the trick though isn't it.

Has anyone ever used star anise? I took a wiff of some in the spice rack and thought it could go well with some styles. Anyone? I could be way off here, I don't know.

Well it might be the ambient temperature in Phoenix about once every couple of years. haha. But I haven't looked around too much on the web for a recipe, I figured some of you more experienced people might have some info on a good recipe.

It would defintely be interesting project, which would require some research beforehand. I guess back in the day brewers used the ambient temp to lager, so obviously it can be done. There doesn't seem to be as much info out there on doppelbocks as there is on other styles, which suprises me...

Hmm, darn, because I don't have a fridgeto lager anything. Are lagering style yeasts easy to find? thanks for your help biermann

Hey there, I have bottled one beer so far, and have another on the way (in the secondary that is) and I was wondering the process/recipes for a double bock. I had a beer called the Celebrator, I believe that's what it was called, and thought it was very good. Anyways, any...

Is it possible to cork your beer in wine bottles rather than bottling it?
