does the plastic taste ever fade if it is an infection?

using bottled water, using powdered bleach cleanser but rinsed very well, and temp was at a cosistant 68degrees.

I know there are a few of these out there but wanted to tell you step by step what I did and see where I went wrong. I brewed a three step strawberry blond. 1.) Made a wheat beer in a carboy 2.) Added strawberries in the plastic fermenter 3.) Tasted beer as I was siphoning into the tertiary...

Do you dry hop in the secondary? Also is this recipe the most up to date? Extract that is. Thanks

Hi guys looking for an Ommegang Three Philosophers Extract recipe using Lindemins Kriek. Any help would be great. I've been searching the forums and a lot of posts about the beer just can't find a clone. Thanks

Just wondering what your recipe is on this, I'm very interested.

Here's mine

Hey guys playing around with Beer Smith. I was wondering how to add fruit to the ingredients and if possible will this add to the gravity % in the program? Thanks. Also can I add a photo of my label in the program.

I brewed a coffee stout a week ago. After 4 days I added third cup of course coffee beans. Today I racked it to a secondary. I took a taste of it and it tasted a bit like pepper. I know its very young but I didn't get any coffee hints. Will this mellow out over time? Thanks.

Here's the company I use. I reuse bottles and have put these thru the dishwasher and the ink has not smudged at all. http://www.bottleyourbrand.com/make-labels/custom-beer-labels

Yea I get a bit paranoid. I'm hoping the two hours didn't hurt the beer. I did put a loose piece of foil on top to try and keep anything out. Any link on a good wort chiller?

Made a pale ale last night, I added the wort to 2.5 gallons of water but it took forever (2 hours) for the temp to get below 80deg. Is it ok for the wort to sit this long before pitching the yeast? I even put the car boy in the sink with cold water but it just didn't want to go down. I'm a...

I've been wanting to try this beer for awhile now after first hearing about it. Finally found it at the local beer store. I was expecting a refreshing raspberry taste but not at all. First off I didn't even get a hint of raspberries and it had a very hot alcohol taste to it. Felt very heavy in...

Hey all I just read in a book that if your beer is over 10% alcohol you should add yeast at bottling. I actually just made a very strong ale did I do something wrong by not adding the yeast? Thanks.

I just bottled a very high alcohol brew. It stopped fermenting but on the 2nd day the air lock blew off and I lost some beer. As I was bottling I'm afraid I didn't take this into consideration and added most of my 5oz. of corn sugar to a 4gallon batch, lost almost a gallon due to the pop off. Am...

What do you guys think?

Hey guys been on the forums for a long time, first post. I also posted this under beginner's forum's but thought I'd put it here as well. I decided I wanted to try a Dawson's Kriek lambic kit. I've seen a lot of good reviews but a lot of different ways to brew it. It seems like some people...
