Thanks for the quick response. If I cut the oats down, will it still add a bit of creaminess to the beer? I also understand about the honey, that's one reason I was adding it near the end. I would add it later, but I am worried about infection. I was hoping to catch a small amount of the...

:confused: Okay, I am a beginner. I have only really done one extract brew that I added some honey and brown sugar to then dry hopped. It came out pretty good, and I have been collecting supplies for my next batches. I was at the LHBS, getting a few things to add to my brew pantry, and was...

It seems some scientists have genetically modified a bakers yeast to live longer, essentially by changing a gene that stabilizes its rDNA. Damaged rDNA causes sells to stop dividing and has been linked to ageing. Interesting inits own right as research into ageing but I had a thought. If...

I am a newb here, just bottled half my first batch of beer, the other half is cold crashing. I do not have much interest in cider, but my girlfriend does. I was thinking, since I am learning some brewing and would have most of the stuff needed, of brewing up a cider for her. She hates beer...

Well, an update on my first real beer. I primed and bottled the unhopped 1gal carboy today. The hopped carboy had hop particles in abundance on top, on the bottom, moving in between, so I made a decision, hopfully the right one (pun intended). After bottling the first carboy, I washed and...

I found mine in two places. An old cider jug (White House brand), at a yard sale, and two brand new ones at a flea market. Also, my local brew store sells them for I think 5.99 Another question, since I am doing this on the super cheap... If I want to use a plastic bucket fermenter, would it...

Thanks, and so people know a bit more about me, I tend to be a hop-head. I generally prefer IPS, APA, DIPA, etc. Sometimes I do get hopped out, and I am never opposed to trying new things. Case in point I was at a tap takover by a local brewery and tried this Wee Heavy Scotch All they don't...

Working on my first batch and was hoping for some input on several questions I have. Before getting to the questions I will give some info on my beer and setup. I am cheap and poor (but love great beer) and have cobbled this together on a shoestring. The first step was when someone gave me a...

Just saying hi. Wanted to join the forum and hopefully over time be a good contributor. I have my first batch down now, and joined for two reasons, I have questions, and this forum is great! As to my questions (and specifics on my first brew if anyone is interested), it will be in the...
