Just leave in primary for the 4 weeks and then bottle/keg? No need for secondary seems to be a recurring theme on this forum.. Depending on the beer, that is..

In case anyone cares, my brew turned out pretty great.. It's not award winning, but it's my favorite so far (out of three, first one I kegged).. I had even more issues.. I thought a freezer I got off of craigslist was a fridge (advertised as such), so I completely froze my full keg.. Now, it...

Well, what happens if it does break through? It says to not drop a CO2 tank. I'm very paranoid about this. Is there any danger if the CO2 tank breaks through the glass and falls about 6-8 inches?

Hi all, I brewed my third batch of beer today. It was a porter from midwest brewing. I thought it would take about 3 hours to brew, as my last 2 took that long. For some reason, the water was taking much slower to boil (maybe because I was using an electric stove vs gas stove?). Anyway, I...
