My setup is Extract w/specialty grains. I do have a secondary which i used on my first brew. I'd prefer to brew something a little bigger this time. ABV 8-10??

First off I'd like to say thanks for all the great information I have obtained through these threads and the responses to my few questions on here already. My first batch (Brewer's Best IPA) came out as a success as far as i'm concerned. Maybe a little sweeter than I had anticipated, but it...

So this may be a rookie mistake or maybe just ignorance. But I bottled my first batch just over a week ago. I didn't measure my full volume of beer but I have between 4.5 - 5 gallons. (most likely on the lower end of that scale) When it came to bottling I put the full 5 oz of priming sugar...

Awesome, this is exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you for the replies

Hello All: As I'm one week away from uncapping my first bottle from my first batch. I'm starting to look further down the road and I'd like to build my recipe. However I would like to start buying some ingredients in bulk to reduce future costs, but what is the shelf life of the typical...

So this may be a rookie question, however since i'm new to this I might as well ask. When it comes to the beer fermenting, what kind of bubbling action is suppose to take place in the air lock? Should you see the water moving in the air lock (like boiling water?) or is it more subtle? Once...

Sounds good! I'll give it some time and take a reading next week.

I don't have the directions with me, but I believe the FG was to be 1.014 and 1.017. If I need it to drop a few more points...could I just add fresh yeast? The yeast used was dry, I don't know the type but I can check when I'm home. Thanks for everyone's input

Hello All! 7 days ago I brewed my first batch. Today I siphoned into my secondary. The directions for this batch (Brewer's Best IPA) recommended moving to the secondary just after 4-6 days, or when fermentation slowed, and allow fermentation to finish in the secondary for 2 additional weeks...
