Yeah just leave it until gravity is steady than rack if you feel like it.

I have a friend who drinks all the yeast at the bottom and it doesn't bother him but for me I usually leave about a little less than an inch at the bottom.

I have had a slighly aggressive secondary before. The beer turned out fine. You may have just taken it out too early. I wouldn't worry about it. You may get a small amount of trub though.

I cooled my 2ish gallons of wort in the snow last week (at below 0 C) and it took more than an hour to bring it down to pitching temperature. I say keep the burner on low to maintain temperature.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I'm going to start in the next few days.

I feel like making an apple cider and have a few n00b questions: 1. Store bought apple juice or apple cider? It should be pasteurized correct? 2. Corn, cane, or brown sugar? 3. I should aerate the juice before adding the yeast (champagne yeast)? 4. I bought a package of dry champagne yeast...

What is the best sugar to prime with? Will ordinary white sugar be ok? Thanks:rockin:

All of these are amazing.

That is a really good tip, thanks.

Thanks a lot for the responses guys. Yes, I will be delabeling. I think I will just throw them in a bucket with oxyclean in the morning and leave it all day.

I picked up some Oxyclean from the store and had a few questions. I plan to bottle this weekend. 1. The store didn't have any Oxyclean Free, just the regular Oxyclean stain remover so I picked that up. Is that ok to use? I hope so. 2. How long should I put my bottles in the Oxyclean...

Absolutely amazing dude.

Thanks alot for the replys everyone

I have been saving up standard beer bottles to reuse for my first brew which will be sometime next week. I brought in some from a neighbour but they were dirty so I decided to take them back to the store. That promoted me to look at the ones I have been saving up so far (maybe 20 - 30 or so) and...

Yeah I thought it would be an issue if I was brewing spirits. Thanks for the answer.

Both of my brothers are chemists and when I told them that I wanted to start homebrewing, they said to be careful to produce the right kind of alcohol but did not give me any more information than that. Ethanol is the alcohol in beer. Is there any chance to produce methanol (the bad one) in...

Yeah I noticed that he left the grain in there too. It seemed to be the most dumbed down version I could find, as some videos I have watched assumed you know basic information. Thanks for the info everyone. I have read some of how to brew and other sources/wiki's out there. There is only so...

I have yet to brew any beer at all. I'm doing research before purchasing any equipment I may need to get started. I stumbled upon this video that really dumbs it down (I pretty much knew all of it) but he uses milled barley and malt extract in the same batch, even though he didnt buy it at the...

Same here. Any current pictures of the set up?

Very nice.
