    So who's brewing this weekend?

    No it won't make it more watery. Only water will do that. It will boost your OG and alcohol content without much body. Looks good to me.

    Just how bad ass is Star San?

    I was cleaning old bottles last night. I found several unopened beers from 2005 or older. The three beers I've opened and tasted weren't actually all that bad considering they were 6 years or older. There was a Belgian Double which was actually OK (close to style at least), and 2 APAs which...

    Homebrew head

    I was just comparing my beer's head to my wife's ... If only it would last as long.... More caramel/crystal malt. Maybe a tad more carbonation as well.

    Star san sucked back into fermenter

    Not an issue. To prove a point some guy from Five Star drank a quart of the stuff (properly diluted).

    Wish Me Luck

    RELAX!!! It is a hobby that takes patients and relaxing. You didn't knock the yeast out, it is just finishing up active primary fermentation and the krausen is settling out. Wait another week and bottle it, but just chill out man. You are making me stressed with all the worrying over your...

    6 short hours

    Why does everyone worry so much on batches 1-???. Chill out. Charlie coined the phrase 30something years ago and people still freak out. RELAX DON'T WORRY....

    Potential of frozen juice concentrate for Beersmith

    I had some time on my hand yesterday and about 5lbs of honey left over from a group mead brew session several years ago. They honey had crystallized and darkened considerably, but I didn't want to toss it. I also had a packet of wine yeast in the fridge so I decided to wing it. I purchased...

    Wine from Jelly

    The gelatin may make it cloudy for longer than you want to wait for it to clarify. Find a local home brew shop (LHBS) and get a packet of actual wine or a neutral ale yeast and a few fermentation locks and some drilled bungs to fit whatever you are fermenting in. Fermentation happens long after...

    Elastic bands on grain bag

    I use butchers twine, but I don't think elastic would be an issue.

    To Build or Buy?

    You don't worry about hot side aeration? I don't stir and whirlpool until 95 or lower.
