should I wait till it quits though?

Now that I think of it it did have a big head after I aerated. Should I have let that settle? Also do I just leave it till I rack to the secondary?

Made a Fat tire clone on Sunday and all went well until I noticed that I hadn't taken out the yeast bottle to let it warm for the appropriate 3-6 hrs. Just a bit ago the wife opened the pantry said it smelled like beer and noticed that the Primary has bubbled out through the air lock. How did...

OK, I have seen how everyone here has some sort of brewing software, but how exactly do you use them? From the outside looking in, it looks like you take a recipe that you already have and plug it in? How do you actually make your own recipe? Must you have a keen understanding of all types of...

Do you have a wort chiller? Also did you pitch your yeast at a warm temp? I learned 2 things very fast. First, invest in a...

Quick question though. How do all of you decide what beer to make, and how do you know how to change it and tweek it? Thanks for the input.

New to the forum, and still wet behind the ears as far a brewing goes. Making the move from kits to all-grain. Getting ready to upgrade my setup to the Blichmann top tier in the next few months. Like what I have seen on here from browsing and am excited to be able to pick your brains so I can...
