Can anyone recommend a good way to keep track of your beer after 4-5 batches. I'm thinking label maker but I'm not sure which and cheaper would be better?

Ya we racked to a secondary. The heavy fermentation had ended I think at least there were no bubbles in the air lock for 2 days or so. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it. I'm learning fast but I'm sure this probably won't be my last screw up.

The hops boiled for60 min(golding 1.5 oz) and the grain for twenty. I added another.5 oz for 5 min. I used tap water that has worked fine in the past.I used the same process I always do so could it be the grain and will it get better in secondary?

3.3 lbs of amber lq extract and 3 lbs of golden light dry extract and a lb of brown sugar.

I'm steeping for 20 min at 155. My IBU rating according to brew target was 21 which I thought matched the style but I guess not.

My last two batches were recipes that I tried to make myself. I used the recipe database to give me ideas.However I think I might be over doing it a bit becuase I'm averaging 4-5 LBs of specialty grain.My first recipe was a brown ale that we racked after 7 days this weekend and it was bitter and...

Brewed on saturday and it smelled great. I made some last minute adjustments though like using close to 7 Lbs of baking pumpkins and I cut the molasses amount in half and eliminated the brown suger wort had a 1.072 og at 80 degrees.

I'm getting ready to brew my pumpkin ale this weekend but of course I'm always looking ahead to the next. I want to make a winter ale with tones of fruit citrus nuts and spices. I'm not sure which ingredients/malts and adjuncn will give me what I'm looking for. I want a moderate hop flavor to...

Thanks for all the help. I scaled the spices back per the suggestions and I'm looking forward to brewing this weekend

I'm working on a pumpkin porter recipe for the holidays and its only the second recipe I've written so I have a couple questions. First any feedback would be much apreciated and second My brewing buddy wants to use real pumpkin he grew instead of canned so does anyone know how much to use in...

I recently was turned on to homebrewing a couple months ago and I am sold its basically taken over my life. So naturally when I was assigned a research project this semester I chose home brewing supply stores to look into. The problem is I;m a history major and I don't know much about business...

I still consider myself new at home brewing with only a couple months and 5 batches under my belt. My buddy and I have been splitting cost of pretty much everything but I was wondering what the typical home brewer spent a month on supplies. We are extract brewing now but we want to move to all...

I'm at 24 hours and no action yet. I'm keeping faith though becouse that was the only packet I had.(that'll teach me to buy a kit without buying extra yeast)...

I just finished my first batch of English brown ale last night. It was a partial grai/extract kit that included Nottingham dry yeast. I can see tiny bubbles forming in the airlock but not the vigorous bubbling I envisioned. I don't know what to expect since this is my first batch in a 5 gal...

Thanks, I can't see well and I kept missing it

I've been reading about a recipe database when I'm looking for recipes on here does anyone know where it is located and is it free? I want to begin collecting some to make my own cookbook. Sorry I know its another newbie question
