I'm new to this too, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but you're in the right place and smarter people than me will chime in later. 1. I'm not sure if a Belgian Tripel was the best choice for a first extract brew and/or possible with your set up. That seems like a lot of malt to me for...

What I like to do, not sure if its right but it seems to work for me, is add the yeast and then take my hydrometer sample. Then I keep that sample in my tube throughout the fermentation and use it to see where everything is at. I know it might not ferment exactly the same in the primary as...

Bump, no answer yet (or even a view). I'll probably just add together if I don't hear back by tomorrow night.

I'm brewing a gluten free beer with Belgian Candy Sugar. Reading on here I found that it can be better to add these after the rest of the recipe has fermented a bit, letting the yeast do the easy to ferment sugars after the hard sugars. Question is I also plan to dry hop this beer. Is it...

Most of the replies are missing one crucial fact. The original poster is from Canada, and we pay more for beer than you lucky Americans do. A sixpack of a craft type beer is going to be at least $12-15, so if you can brew at 50 cents a beer you're saving at least $1.50/beer. Multiply that...

Used close to a quart of water, poured into 1 container, waited about 30 minutes (didn't put this in the fridge although it does make sense now that you mention it) and then poured into the current quart container covered and fridged. Its come down a little since my original post, but still is...

How long would you anticipate for the separation in the fridge to take place? I tried this for the first time a couple of days ago, and its started (completed?) to happen, but my jar seems to have about half and half whereas most of the pictures I see posted here the yeast seems like a very...

When you say made a tea, do you mean you made a cup of chamomile tea and steeped the fruit zest together with it?

Perfect, thanks all. I had used loose tea (T-Sac) bags for the hops and I pulled them out after cooling. Sounds like this was the right idea.

Just did my first non-kit beer and I thought I had a process figured out by reading in here a bunch, but of course once it starts happening realized I still had questions. Some I figured out, but the one I haven't found an answer to is when do the hops come out? I understand the 60/15/5/0...

Very new to all of this, so excuse me if I'm asking a dumb question. Most people seem to recommend doing the strawberries in the secondary, is there a reason you wouldn't want to just do it in the primary? Reason for the question is currently my brewing set up is a bucket as the primary and...
