I've just read that it removes some unpleasant flavors and adds to the clarity of the beer. Once again, new to brewing, so I'm just following directions.

Yeah, I'm adding another ounce of Cenntinnial and hoping to clear it up a little. Haven't checked my gravity yet. I thought I was supposed to check it at secondary fermentation, so I haven't checked it yet.

So, it's been 11 days since I brewed my beer(Northern Brewers: Dead Ringer IPA) and I'm trying find out when I should rack my beer into my secondary fermenter. After a little research, it appears that it's a pretty subjective call. Most sites call for racking into secondary fermenters once the...

Nice! Thanks guys! Next meeting is right down the street from my house! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Although by definition it is not craft beer, Yeungling was my first detour from mainstream beers, but I would only consider it a distraction. The beer that totally crushed pretty much all of the competition was Cigar City's Jai Alai. It is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind drink. Years after totally...

It makes sense. Thanks for the tip!

What's a "nice size?" I used a Wyeast packet.

Do you pitch the yeast before aerating? My directions said aerate and then pitch, but that seemed kind of counter-productive to me...

Any home brewers from the Clearwater/Dunedin area? I'm new to brewing and would like to meet some people who could give me some great advice!

I picked a diffusion stone and was going to hook it up to a disposable O2 canister from Lowes (once I pick up my regulator). How much O2 do you add to your wort post boil? I know that once fermentation has begun, oxygen=bad! But is there really a limit to the amount of oxygen you should add to...

Hello to all! I am both new to homebrewtalk.com and to brewing beer. Just finished my first boil 3 days ago(Norther Brewer's Deadringer IPA). I had a blast, but I definitely have plenty of questions so my uncle suggested I get familiar with the site, so here I am. Looking forward to brewing...
