Hooray beer!

When you say aging doesn't really do anything, does that mean that if I use a clarifying agent then it doesn't need to be aged? I was under the assumption that the balance of the tannins determines how long it needs to age. If so do you have to balance it in some certain manner to get it that...

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere, but I have searched and am unable to find much info... I've been homebrewing for a few years now, and am looking to branch out a bit and occasionally try winemaking. Firstly, I don't really need to buy a starter wine kit, since I already have most of...

"I like beer" - hobomilitia

I got a bunch of kits for Christmas and did the dark cherry stout from northern brewer. I put it into secondary Saturday (about 6 days ago) and noticed some gurgling last night (I thought it was the dog about to throw up) every now and then. Today I get back home and noticed it again relatively...

So if any of you are familiar with the extreme brewing book by the guy from dogfish ale I was looking to make the A-Z brown ale that was in that book. My homebrew shop was short on ingredients so i am trying to hybrid the recipies between the two. What he gave me was this: - around a half pound...
