Just out of curiosity, when is peak flavor?

Ok, bottled it today. There was half a bottle left that I chilled and drank to have a taste, boy did it taste good!! Even though it was kinda flat, it tasted amazing. I primed the bottles, how long should they stay at room temperature before moving them to my fridge? And how long should I wait...

Looks like the yeast has fallen to the bottom :( Does that mean it's done allready? Or that my yeast died?

It stopped bubbling today, it is sitting in a 20C room, maybe I should move it to the bathroom that is 26C with heated floors?

I was a little worried that I put in too much yeast. Because the vial was a little under half full when I put it in the fridge today. It's bubbling away, so I gress it's ok. Anything I need to do differently from beerkit can brewing? Or is it pretty much the same from here on out?

Ok so i set out to make a low alcoholic porter from left over stuff I had. Then I found out that I wanted to try out using some grains in addition to my extract. Here's the recipe I came up with, all left overs from my summer/fall brewing (except for the grains): This is a 4 liter batch 300g...

Hello, I used a hydrometer that was calibrated for beer. I bought it at my brewshop and made sure it was for beer. I too felt it was a bit odd. My guess is that maybe the yeast was not a beer yeast. Or maybe I read it wrong. I always use the upper meniscus when I take a reading. I'll check the...

Just opened my first chilled bottle. It tastes very nice, has carbonated nicely - not to heavy carbonation, but enough to give some foam, and it bubles when it sits in the glass. The taste is quite nice! I think me and my friends will enjoy it on my birthday party. Very nice hoppy aroma, good...

Ok, so I took another gravity meassure. It was at 0.990 - this is looking to be some strong brew... Clearly not done fermenting. I did take the oppurtunity to take out a couple of litres and bottle them just to see what happens. I also kept a glass for myself to taste to see if I need to add...

Thanks guys! :D I'll give it another week, and do another meassure and taste test - hopefully more flavour has developed. If it tastes good, I'll rack it and cool that container down to see if it clears up. Then I'll bottle / keg (still undecided) it and try to get as little sediment as...

Ok, so I startet my first batch of beer. I used one of those hopped malt extract kits from the brewstore. "Brewmart Mexican Cerveza" I also added some local malt extract and some flavoring tettnager hops to take it to next level. I did that because my brother brewed one of those kit beers once...

Hello, I am a 33 year old homebrewer from Norway. I have been into making my own wine from fruits and berries in my family's garden for the past 20 years. But this summer I decided to venture into brewing beer. So I found this wonderful forum via a google search. I hope to dive into a wealth of...
