Hey, im making a web site for my college. I dont have any pics of my beers, so i was wondering if i could get a couple good ones from you guys, if you dont mind that is. I know i could go to everyones private page on here and check them out, but that takes forever, So if you want to help me out...

i actually just did this. I did one half batch raspberry and the other blueberry. I added 2 oz to 2 1/2 gallons, and that was plenty of blueberry taste. I wouldnt add more than about 3 to 3.5 oz to 5 gallons hefe.

Ok, so i was just wondering if anyone is really successful bottling with twist tops. I have all broke friends, and they dont drink sam adams(or any beer that has a pop top.) that much.... so im pretty much on my own for finding bottles. Ummm.. i was just wondering if anyone has any advice for...

Ok, so i threw some brew in bottles the other day.. 10 days ago, and there is a lot of carbonation. Like 2-3 inches head on top. doing a nice pour, not a smash in the glass pour. But i followed the recipe for 3/4 cup for 5 gallons of brew for corn sugar. Anyway, just wondering if these things...

Ok, so i brewed an alaskan amber as my first beer. I did everything as was in the recipe. Let it sit an extra 4-5 days in the secondary, bottled, and let sit while i was gone on spring break. I used safale s04 if that helps this, but my room was about 65-68 while the bottles were conditioning...
