Got it, I’ll let it sit for another week in the primary at least and then move it to the secondary for another week after that before I bottle it. I didn’t really think moving it to the secondary was harmful, but more along the lines of I didn’t know how to do it correctly...

This is my third batch of beer and I want to try the primary to the secondary method with my Oktoberfest. I’m completely scared that I’m going to ruin it with air contamination though. Currently my beer is in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. (will have been in there one week on Saturday) Do I just put...

I brewed on Saturday as well in Denver and things went fine. Octoberfest that I will be ready in time for a Novemberfest. I did notice it took a bit longer for my boil to get going.

Good thing i'm only working a half day so i can check them and put down some plastic down under them.

No, I just started brewing again and back in the day we never did gravity readings. I did it on my last beer but this one i didn't. I'm guessing it will be fine, but it just won't turn out like a Fat Tire but still drinkable. I've been checking them every day because i'm a little worried of them...

So I had a total brain freeze and I bottled my beer too early I think. I made a Fat Tire batch and I bottled it after only being in the primary for 7 days. It had pretty much stopped fermenting which is why I thought it had been sitting for two weeks, but then my wife gave me a told so when she...

I noticed Irish said he spilled some of the water from his airlock into the wort. I did the same thing and I always put a little bit of the cleaning solution in my airlock (will start using cheap vodka) , because I was told water won’t work. Anyway, will that little bit of solution kill my beer...

I pulled my grains out at the first sign of boil so its not like they were rolling around like pasta. Ok, I feel better now because my beer (in the carboy) looks just a little darker than that picture. I guess I was just expecting it to be more like a commercial wheat beer. Thanks for the...

I threw my grains in the gallon and a half of water until the boil started and then pulled them out. Looked and smelled like a wheat beer at that point. Then added my syrup and let that roll for about 35 minutes and then added my hops and let sit for another 10 minutes. (I’m making a 5...

I brewed a wheat beer this weekend and it looked and smelled great until I added the syrup and now it’s way too dark for a wheat beer. I did it from a preassembled beer store brew kit. Someone mentioned that I probably should have used some irish moss. Will it still taste the like a wheat...
