I just bought a jug of organic apple juice. Activated some yeast and then I put the rubber stopper in and it slipped through and fell into the juice. They deffinetly fit because I did the second and thrid bottles fine. Is there any way to fish it out?

I havnt drank enough beer I guess to know what good beer is. Good beer to me is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale $24 a 24 pack. Thats where I was coming up with my figure. Ive only brewed beer once and it took longer than I expected and I was up late. I think brewing in the day would be more enjoyable.

I just finished my first brew, I didnt mix the sugar. my instructions didnt say to. my friends and I drank a like 12 already. They have only been bottled for 1 week as well. You have to pour them carefully otherwise they froth up alot. Im going to stir next time

some of these kits cost $30-$40 each. Thats a little more than half price for store bought beer. Plus the time and effort make brewing at home not that much of a money saver. I guess my question was if I could buy in bulk for 1 maby 3 batches. If there was a simple but decent to great tasting...

Im looking to make cheaper beer. I only want to buy enough to make 1-2, 5 gallon batches. Im thinking of just buying 8 pounds Light Liquid Malt Extract 4 oz Cascade Hops and some good ale yeast. Would this taste decent? Any suggestions? Is there a good cheap recipe that tastes...

I used some oxyclean versatile to clean my bucket right after my 1st brew. The kind with the mini blue crystals. I dont smell any detergents or anything. But still smell some beer smell kinda. Is my brew bucket ruined?
