    Bubble gum aroma.

    Well I didn't think it was that simple. I will try that next time. Do I just throw some frozen water bottles in and replace them as they melt?

    Bubble gum aroma.

    Well I'm just going by what my fermometer says. It's usually dead on 70 degrees. I dont really know how to better control it though. A water and ice bath is too much trouble for me.

    What is a "Beer Protector Cap"

    It's all been said before. They are selling to the masses. I don't know **** about crocheting but I bet there's someone out there that can tell me everything and more about it. Don't get too upset. Not everyone is into craft beer..........unfortunately.

    Headaches

    Not to throw medical advice out there but if you are having strong headaches popping up out of nowhere you might want to get it checked out. I highly doubt homebrew is causing it a couple at a time.

    Bubble gum aroma.

    I am getting some bubble gum aroma and slight flavor from some of my beers and am looking for a little advice on what might be causing it. I'm almost positive I don't have a problem with sanitation. The only thing I can think of is my fermentation temps. I don't have much control of them due to...

    15 gallons...

    Throw it away and buy a new one. If it's contaminated it's not worth taking the chance on another batch. This goes for tubing and any other cheap plastic parts that scratch and discolor.

    Brown Ale blues

    Well luckily no pathogens can live in beer so at least let it sit for a little while and see what happens.

    No fermentation after 6 days

    I'm assuming this is an extract brew? What was your pitching temp? What was the exp. date on the yeast?

    My Pale Ale

    I will add that I didn't pour a good head. I would rate it's retention as medium to low overall. I say in a couple more weeks it should be better. I know the taste will be. It's still a little green and "unfinished" but definitely drinkable.

    My Pale Ale

    I would just like to say that this beer turned out much better thanks to tips I recieved here. This is my latest pale ale. It slowed fermentation when it hit 1.020 and I thought it was going to be overly malty. I let it sit in primary for about 3 weeks and then a 2 week secondary. Its been...

    Pilsner Urquel and Stella bottles

    The woman at my LHBS explained this to me a while back. The reason a wing capper won't work is because on the "european" style bottles they have a "double lip" so to say. If you compare them to any american style bottle you will see the difference. This is what prevents them from being properly...
