    My Bavarian Hefeweizen not like Paulaner Hefeweizen - How come?

    Did you add water after the boil to make it to 5 gallons? If so you are probably not getting 100% from your hops. I just learned from a class that doing a boil with less water reduces what you can get out of your hops. This would coincide with what you are saying about your brew being sweeter...

    Curious about some glasses I just purchased

    The purpose of the snifter is to enhance the aroma of the beverage in it. The nice wide body of the glass allows the liquid to "splash around" aerate and release the aroma. Then the "closed" mouth of the glass concentrates that aroma. If you have a beer that you want the aroma to be part of...

    Christianity and home brewing

    Some denominations require their members to abstain from alcohol all together. With that said I have not read anything in the bible that supports this. The bible does say something about being drunk. The two are not the same. One can enjoy a beer or two. Five or six or more is another...

    Starter equipment

    I found it just to buy one. The parts to make one cost about the same as to buy already done. At least around here. I bought an economy chiller from homebrewing.com for 39.99. To buy all the parts at HD would have been the same, if not more. The coil alone is $25.

    Beer Shake

    Anyone else ever make a shake using beer instead of milk? It's actually pretty good.

    Starter equipment

    I did quite a few batches with out a wort chiller. Just bought one. I was only doing partial mash beers so I was only starting with 3 gallons of wart. I was freezing, almost freezing, 3 gallons of spring water to my finished wort to help cool it quickly, along with ice bath in sink. There...

    Primary Fermentation 3- 6 days

    1. You can use a bucket or carboy. Personal preference. I like a bucket because it is easier to clean. Carboy's are cool because you can see everything going on. 2. Many of us will tell you to only use a primary. Skip the secondary. Little to no benefit. Just let it sit in your...

    Is 6 gallon headspace too much in a 9.2 gallon fermentor?

    It's fine, for a primary. It will quickly fill with co2 and push out all the "bad air". Just make sure you pitch your yeast at a proper rate so fermentation starts ASAP. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Newbie question

    Home brewing is easy. The one part that is easy to screw up and can cause the most damage is an infection. Sanitation makes or breaks a brew. It's worth giving everything a spay again. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    WORST Home Brew Store experience ever!

    My local shop, barely anything in it, the guy acted like I was an idiot because I used a single fermentor. I must get off flavors because I don't use a secondary. "Some people like those those off flavors" I now drive 40 minutes to a real brew shop. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
