I'm 2 bottles into my first inaugural batch of American Amber. 2 weeks in the primary and about a week in the bottles, just had to try it. Nice carbonation and tastes so smooth. No clue on the alcohol content, but feels nice. LOL. Gonna bottle my Summer Ale this weekend after sitting on...

Hello, so I racked my second batch onto some frozen berries. All looks fine, but my question is doesn't the fruit spoil and hurt the beer? Or does the alcohol in the beer kill anything hurtful? I was planning to let it sit a week or two with the fruit, all of which floated to the top, then...

Hey guys, I was thinking of racking my Summer Ale onto some oranges in my secondary fermenter. What is the process? Do I just cut a few oranges in half and put them into the carboy and rack on top? Leave it there for a couple weeks? Thanks so much, John

Hello all. My electronic temp control unit arrived last night, so decided to set it up with my 5 cubic foot chest freezer. I programmed the "set point" to 65 degrees with a 5 degree "differential." I put my Summer Ale into the freezer and it seems to be doing its job. When the freezer...

Trying to add pics, so hopefully it works. Racked my 1st Inaugural Batch of Brewer's Best American Amber into my glass secondary fermenter. Got in a tub of water keeping nicely at about 70 degrees until my electronic temperature control unit arrives. Then my new chest freezer will be the...

OK. So, I checked my hydrometer @ 60 degrees and it read 1.00 SG. My Wort/Beer was approximately @ 74 degrees. It floated to the 3rd line below the 1.00, which I believe would be 1.006 @ 60 degrees. Using the correction factor that came with the hydrometer, I'm thinking my SG is 1.008...

Hello all, this is my first post. OK. Bought an American Amber from Brewer's Best and I gave it a shot this past Saturday. Followed the instructions to the tee and think I did everything right. Put the cooled Wort into the Primary Fermenter, and that night it started bubbling out of the...

Hello fellow Home Brewers. I'm John, a CPA in South Florida. Just did my first batch using ingredients from a place called Brewer's Best. I do have some questions, which I will post in the appropriate section. Looking forward to learning more about this great hobby. Best, John
