Did u clean it with the same stuff I had? Or did u have Bleach bomb it? I just bottled this weekend so I'm hoping the PBW and starsan did its job

If I have used my hoses/siphon/bottling bucket with a beer that was contaminated sour, and I cleaned them really thoroughly with PBW and then starsan, will my next batch of beer become contaminated sour?

Here is the recipe I brewed

Yes it was extract with steeping grains I followed palmers book to a T, I moved my fermenter to a warmer room after the 2nd day of fermentation and lost my krausen. It continued to bubble for a few more days but stopped a few days ago.

I had a stuck fermentation on my brew with an OG of 1.044 and I'm looking for a FG of close to 1.006 but I'm stuck at 1.020 after 10 days so i shook it around (the temp is at a constant 66-68 degrees) and at day 11 it still wasn't moving downside I pitched another full packet of dry yeast (same...

Im a newbie What is an SWMBO

So how do I know which is compromised? Should I just replace every plastic piece as well as hoses? I just got a brand new stainless brew kettle, which is one of the things I won't replace

I use starsan after I wash everything in PBW and have done 3 batches so far. My first batch was sour and definitely contaminated because even 8 months later the beer was sour and undrinkable. My second batch I followed Palmers book to a T and I believe I did have the "green beer" taste because...

I was talking with a guy working at my LHBS and was asking him why I can't get a good batch of beer that doesn't seem contaminated and he informed me that if any of my plastic gets contaminated it will get any other plastic that touches the contamination and make it contaminated as well. He said...

Cool thanks!, ill go ahead with putting in secondary when racking and leave for a week before bottling

How long should I leave it in the secondary? The average 1 week before bottling? Will the added sugar from the cocoa affect what amount of priming sugar I add to my batch before bottling? Thanks again for the advice

Just went to famous Dave's BBQ....which was definitely not the best BBQ but back to beer: I overheard a customer asking for a 90 schilling when the "head" bartender replied, "sorry we don't carry that but we have Avalanche from Breckenridge Brewing which is just like 90 schilling" i listened...

When I cool my wort with my immersion chiller I cover the open top of the kettle with foil so that the air doesn't get to it while its cooling. Today I had a couple pieces of the foil dip into the chilled wort right before putting it in to the fermenter,.... can the little bit of foil that...

I usually add the LME right after I'm done steeping the grains, which is when I start to bring it to a boil as well, and then I've been adding my pellet hops in a hop bag, so they aren't really floating freely in the wort, should I do anything differently when using pellet hops in a hop bag? Can...

I have been extract brewing with steeping grains and am wondering when I add the hops at the start of the 60 min boil, should I Stir the whole 60 min or can I just leave it alone until I add my 15 min and 5 min hops

Looking for the best recipe for a creamy milk stout.....any suggestions??

I bought an 8 ounce bag, how much of it should I use for a 5 gallon batch? And how much vodka?, I assume a non flavored vodka

What's the best way to add cocoa nibs to your brew?

I fermented for two weeks at 62-65 in my basement so I don't think that's the cause

I've been tasting my brew throughout the last week and a half and have to say that it still has a wine/cider/astringent taste to it.... I believe it's due to me steeping my grains at too high of heat. I read that it can release a lot of tannins and can really impact the flavor in a negative way.
