Came out very good tasting. Rich flavor. I posted pics. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I bottled my first batch 10 days ago. I'm concerned I didn't get the sugar mixed well enough. When I turn a bottle upside down I get very few bubbles when I do the same to a Budweiser I see bubbles rushing to the top. What should I do if the beer doesn't carbonate can I add more sugar to each...

What's a vinator?

Do you put dishwasher detergent in when you run them through the dishwasher

It's time to bottle my first batch, what is the best way to sanitize the bottles. I saved my beer bottles as I drank them.

I kept it simple with a American Ale from Grape and Granery here in akron. Doing a Wheat beer kit next.

Yes they are going up and down. The recipe called for 1 week in primary and 1 week in secondary. I'm 2 days into the second week. The airlock is not bubbling at all anymore. Is that normal?

No bubbles on the bottom but on pic 1 their are little bubbles on the top.

Great! Will they settle to the bottom or how would I filter them out?

Thought I would post some pics of it

I did my first brew put it in primary for a week then moved it to secondary 2 days ago. It is clearing up nicely but I am getting white floaties at the top of the beer. Is this normal? Will they settle to the bottom or do I need to do something to filter them out. I don't want them in the final...

I thought about adding something to my secondary this week. Was thinking orange peel. Would I still be ok to add this for flavoring now. I transferred to my secondary yesterday.

So tonight I moved my brew from the primary Fermenter to the secondary. Everything looked great smelled amazing. I was being overly concerned about sanitation so I put some Star San in the carboy and swashed it around. I know everyone says you don't need to rinse that sanitizer so I did not...

This is the first time I have heard anyone mention a stainless steel fermenter needed for Grain brewing? Is this really "needed" or is it just a upgraded if "wanted"

I seen a YouTube video where a guy turned his bottling bucket into a Tun using a net strainer anyone use this method? I've also seen where people build them out of a cooler. Is this the only additional piece needed for a grain brew?

So do the all grains come in kits like extract kits or due you buy everything separate

I did my first Extract kit last week, my question is what is the big difference between extract kits and all grain brewing is the taste different? Is one cheaper than the other? Or is it just up to each brewer how they want to make the beer like a chef in a kitchen with ingredients?

I'm new to brewing just finished my first batch, with that said excuse me for this ignorant question. When doing double batches do you have to double the ingredients or just add more water to the wort?

I have just kept my old bottles to use can I also reuse the caps or do I need to get new bottle caps?

I used the cleaner the kit came with (B- Bright) and cleaned up my arm rinsed then stuck it in and got the grommet.
