Does anyone have any of these DVD's lying around and willing to let them go for a price? I can paypal you!

just ordered "stepping into all grain" thanks!!

Does anyone know of a good DVD to watch to introduce someone into all grain brewing? Maybe covering the basics and giving a step by step breakdown. If kegging was included also that would be great too. Thanks!

thanks for the replies guys, but that doesn't answer my original question, which is will the wort oxidize and stale in the transportation process? Is the headroom filled with Co2 making oxidization a non issue? I can let the batch settle overnight if that's the case.

I have a 23 l leffe clone that has fermented and is ready for bottling. The only problem is, my bottle capper is broken so I would have to take the batch in my car to by buddy's house, who has a bench capper. I just wanted to know if the wort would oxidize after being splashed around in the back...

you drink beer from cans?

so ive decided to bottle this sunday when its been three weeks in primary. Wait another three and drink!

no i didnt take a reading because my hydro broke and i had one ordered. I have one now.

The fermentation went crazy for the first day and then stopped after that. It has been in the primary fermenter for two weeks now, I am wondering if i needed to pitch more yeast for all the sugar that was in the brew. Also, I used 5 gallons of water, but the extract kit called for 6. Can I add...

thanks! Any recomendations on the primary, secondary or bottle conditioning times? (I think I will skip secondary)

hey guys I just made a 5 gallon batch with one can of Cooper's Real Ale LME, 2lbs of LDME, 2lbs of brown sugar, 8oz of honey, and 1oz of summit hops boiled for 45mins. I used Nottingham yeast and have it fermenting at around 65 degrees. I was going to leave in primary for 3 weeks, bottle then...

hi Guys I have a limited amount of ingredients and its hard for me to get more. What I have is one can of coopers real ale, 5 lbs of light dry malt extract, 4oz of summit hop pellets, and one small bag of irish moss. I was thinking to use the coopers with 3# of DME, and 1 oz of hops for 60mins...

I'm not sure where she got the kit, it was a gift. How do you dry hop in the fermenter? Wouldn't i have to transfer to a secondary for this? wouldnt it be better to buy a separate pot and boil the wort and add hops to the boil. I know this isnt the brew that the coopers brew master intended but...

My gf gave me the coopers kit for my birthday because I was always saying that I wanted to brew my own beer. She gave me a red ale and dark ale kit extra. So I made the lager with the extract that it comes with and followed the directions exactly (i didn't know any better, before I found this...
