Just racked a maple syrup extract recipe to a secondary, and found all these little "seeds" in the primary leftover. I used whole leaf hops for the first time, and I'm hoping that's what these are from, but any ideas or advice? Ever seen this before?

Hello everyone, hope you can help me out. I've got a watermelon wine recipe that is 1 gallon, but all I have are 5 and 6 gallon car boys and fermenters. I will try to bump the recipe up to 2 or 3 gallons, but any advice on storage for primary and secondary? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The bottles are not yet in the fridge, and have been in the bottle for 2 weeks. I bought the corn sugar "pack" from Midwest for the 5 gallon batch, I think it was 1/2 cup maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Growlers with airlocks, lids, foil, etc.? Thanks in advance!

I recently bought a wink kit that apparently makes 6 gallons, which was lost on me as I only have 2 5 gallon carboys. Instead of taking on the extra expense until I'm sure that the wine is worth it, i'm planning on using both carboys (primary fermentation is already complete), racking back into...

Relatively new extract brewer attempting an ale recipe. For this brew, i used a stir plate for the first time. First day fermentation was great, so much so it blew the airlock out and caused a mess. I then used a blow off tube for about a week, then i racked to secondary. Brew has been in...
