My OG was off as well I was wondering if I could just add water but wasent sure so now the yeist is pitched I guess that's how you learn I guess haha I went with just working with what I have hopefully doesn't screw it up to much but as I noticed today all grain is def cheaper and I will be...

Yea It was def. I'n boil off or not enough when I sparged I will next time mark my bins so I know exactly how much I have. So pretty much I have a batch of 3 1/2 instead of 5 nothing I can do now right?

Just finished brewing my first all grain when I chilled wort and got it into My fermenter I was left with a little under 4 gallons is that alright should I use same amount of yeast need some advice on what to do

I have a 5lb tank for keg setup how long will a small tank like that last me?

I do know you put the gas on the beer side to force carbonate but I wanna try let it do what it needs to do on it's own thanks for the advice as well

So I got my second batch on tap today have it all setup running threw the lines now my question is how long do I let it carbonate before I can try it? I have the regulator set at 10psi haven't rolled it or any thing like that just hooked the lines up and that's how it is sitting now

Also I am switching to partial mash as well

I have brewed 2 batches now using the extract kits from a local brew shop and they have came out amazing, I want to try a black lager next but have heard that when it ferments it needs to be at a controlled colder temp. Any advice I should know before trying a lager?

I made a kegerator today using a mini fridge and a cold plate works awesome just curious on any pros or cons to this setup only a part time setup as I have a chest freezer I'n process but that is costing a pretty penny so far

Ok to keep on fridge for that time or no

Awesome thanks everyone now how long should they be I'n bottles before I get to try one

Is this normal sediment on bottom of fermented bucket after 3 weeks? Is my beer bad?

Just answered my own question as I read the sheet it came with, the og says about 1.052 and fg says 1.011-1.015 looks as if it's close to being at fg correct me if I'm wrong but should this be when I put it in secondary and wait a couple weeks then bottle it? Appreciate all the help don't wanna...

I made the mistake of not taking an OG reading when i first brewed this is my reading after about 8 days looking for advice on if that's what it should be at and what not from there also what should be a normal fg reading I made a red ale using a kit

This may be a dumb question but how do I know if I have made a bad batch or an infected batch of beer any signs I should watch out for?
