Fermentation is strange! Some batches will appear to be done fermenting in 5 days. Others can go on for 10 days. Don't be fooled! The fermentation process goes on beyond the airlock bubbling does and you can only benefit from patience. If you can stand the wait, then try 10 to 14 day...

Thanks gents... Happy brewing

I am preparing for my first all grain brew, collecting my equipment, etc. I was wonder what is good rule of thumb for how many quarts of water per pound of grain during the mash and how many more quarts of water for the sparge? And is that total amount of wort ( mash and sparge ) what you...

It sounds like you did everything fine. As Revvy has said, your OG will probably get where it needs to be regardless. So the FG reading with a new hydrometer will probably give you a very close to accurate ABV reading. Another week in the fermenter will only help age the flavor, so forget...

Am brewing this weekend. It's Brewers Best India Pale Ale. I've heard different opinions about how long to keep IPA's in primary...cloudy beer doesn't bother me as long as it tastes good, and I am not adding anything. Is two weeks in the primary long enough before Kegging? I have a hard time...

Thinking about doing Brewer's Best India Pale Ale for my next brew. Has anyone brewed this recipe? Any pros or cons to speak of?...and most importantly...is the hop flavor/ aroma good?...I heard it compared to "Dog Fish Head 60 Minute". RDWHAHB!!!

I understand...I'm not going to be argumentative...thanks fellas!

I appreciate your response very much, but If some one looks at my post and gets bent out of shape over how it's titled...then I encourage that person not to answer...if I read a post simply titled"question"... Then I would read the question and answer it if I could...without caring about blog...

Just bought a new kegerator...it came with everything to accommodate a regular size keg...my question is...Do I need to do any type of conversion (permanent or switchable) to accommodate my corny kegs?...I would like to have the ability to occasionally buy a commercial keg of beer every now and...
