    Why is my beer sour

    I brewed a porter for the first time. It spent a week in primary and a week in secondary, at about 70 F. It has been in the bottle for about 4 days now. Not a long time, I know, but it tastes sour. Is this just because it hasn't been in the bottle for long enough? The only other thing I...

    Dry hopping after primary

    Is there any advantage to adding fresh hops after the primary, at the start of secondary? I've had a bag in there for the week in the primary and was wondering if adding it for the next week in the secondary would add anything. Thanks

    Adding water?

    Hi all, I am wondering if it is really the best idea to add water up to the 5 gallon mark on the fermenter after finishing the boil. I understand you would want to add water to make up for the water lost while boiling, but you also lose a lot of beer when you remove the hops, grains, etc. So...

    Little solid things floating in the bottles?

    I just used the sugar the brew shop gave me. It was like powdered sugar...I want to say it was sucrose but I'm not sure. Tasted like regular powdered sugar to me.

    This one? I've seen you at Hoggetowne, I came in there about a week ago and bought star san and a siphon tube from you. How's that beer club going? My roommate and I would be down to join.

    Greetings from Gainesville, FL

    Looks like from this thread that there are at least 2 Gator brewers here already...any others? About me, just a UF student with a taste for good beer and a very short brewing history (3 batches so far). Hoping to learn as much as I can and eventually help out others who are starting out...

    Toothpaste ale?

    Hi all...posted this on another forum and didn't get much, hoping someone here can give me a good answer: My friend and I were transferring our irish red from the carboy into the bottling bucket, and just as we finished, my half empty bottle of toothpaste falls into the bottling bucket. We...
