    how to clean up a strawberry beer before bottling

    wasn't quite sure what forum to post this in but I figured this one would work. I have a strawberry blond that has been in the secondary about three weeks. I used real strawberries. When I add the strawberries it turns the beer almost pink and really cloudy from the fruit pectins. My question...

    cleaning a dirty siphon/racking cane

    I've been noticing lately that when I use my easy siphon that there is residue that remains on the inside that seems impossible to remove. I see this being a problem for future contamination/infection. I've tried spraying it out with my water hose. Any tips would be appreciated!

    bacon beer

    I've come up with a recipe I want to use but I'm looking for some tips on getting the bacon flavor. I DO NOT WANT TO USE AN EXTRACT. I've read about "dry hopping" with crispy bacon strips. I might wind up doing that but I thought I'd see what others say first. Thanks

    suggestions on a pale ale with amarillo, centennial, and cascade

    I stopped in the homebrew supply shop the other day with no recipe on hand but a hunch of making an American pale ale in the citrusy spectrum. I have the grains for a basic pale ale so I grabbed a few different citrusy hops. I grabbed two ounces of Amarillo, two ounces of Centennial and two...

    risk to wort after the boil while cooling?

    I go from the brew pot through the strainer to a bucket and then to a carboy for two reasons. One: to aerate the wort and. Two: because with the strainer I have it would be impossible to position it to where I could pour straight from the brew pot to the carboy.

    risk to wort after the boil while cooling?

    I feel like you could be 100% on sanitation and still have to worry about airborne contaminates. Unless you were to have an air filtration system and excluding your household furnace filter, I feel that most home brewers don't have other means of air filtration to airborne contaminates

    risk to wort after the boil while cooling?

    Hello, as of this point I have not had any problems but for some reason this question arose. How vulnerable would you say the wort is after the boil during the aprox. ten minute cool time (using a wort chiller)? For this question I say that the lid would be off due to having your chiller in the...

    how long did it take you to get good?

    I read that as a new brewer wondering if he should stick with it or not because he's not liking the results. I've been happy with my results just not "thrilled" I have no plans what so ever of quitting now. I already feel like I've developed and addiction! And I'm so happy to have read all...

    how long did it take you to get good?

    and I'd like to add, what were some of the things you were doing wrong? I think one of my main reasons for error was fermentation temperatures
