I know, I know, I moved my brew inside, and now it is maintaining the boil, but just so. I'm thinking it was the temp outside.

Again, thank you for all the assistance! New problem: I'm boiling 3 gallons outside with propane and an outdoor cooker. I steeped my grains and waited for the boil. It got to 98 Celsius, 2 degrees below boiling, for about 30 minutes. I put the lid on, and it bumped up to a rolling boil. I just...

Cheers brewers, I am brewing my fourth batch this afternoon, and I haven't brewed in about 6 months. I may be on here a few times today, and I thank you in advance, you have all been very helpful in the past. I am boiling 3 gallons today, and cannot afford a wort chiller. I was considering...

What would I do if the yeast suspension is the problem?

I have not treated for anything. Now that it's mentioned, my first batch was bottled water.

This may be hard because you can't taste my beer, so I will describe to you my brewing process. This is for the IPA I just made. After I make the 3 gallons of wort, I chill it down to 75 degrees as fast as I can. I add tap water to the 5 gallon mark, put the lid on and shake, then add yeast. I...

I'm using B-Brite to sanitize a 5 gallon glass carboy. I poured in 5 Tbsp of the powder, then filled to the brim with warm water. Do I need to stir this solution, or anything else? It is definitely going to work...

Okay experts, here is my question. I bottled my IPA a week ago today. This was my second brew. I refrigerated and cracked one open today, no carbonation, hardly any taste. I used 3 oz of hops in a 5 gallon brew, I thought I would be able to taste something. Am I possibly not filling up my...

I finished my second brew last night, and I am now in love with the process. Nice to know that I have people I can count on at a moments notice to help me out. Thank you so much!

Great, thank you so much!

I'm brewing my second batch, and it's my first with multiple hops. The first hops was to be added at the beginning of the boil, and the second 40 minutes into the boil. Do I take out the first hops when I add the second, or leave it in? I should mention, they are steeping. Thank you for...

Lol I drink a beer or 2 a day, and my friends drink tasteless crap beer. Whoopsie on the 10 lbs, I meant gallons. We will see what happens when this beer is done, maybe I will make more in larger qualities, and send you all the surplus.

I appreciate the quick response! My kit came with c-brite. I read about the spray, and I will definitely be using that on my next brew. Can someone explain to me the advantage of using a secondary fermentor? I need to read more on the entire brewing process/chemistry, but I was so exited to...

I started my first brew almost a week ago, and I really enjoyed the process. I'm itching to make more, but I don't necessarily want 10 lbs of beer in the house. The only part I was iffy about was sanitization. Can anyone recommend tools and steps for sanitizing, specifically the fermentation...
