Howdy, So back in October, I brewed a Smashing Pumpkin Ale from NB. Brew day, the beer smelled and tasted awesome. A few weeks later I checked on it again, still great smell and taste from when I checked the Hydrometer. But now, as I think about bottling, I have this weird paint smell. Is it...

Hey everybody, I recently made the Austin Homebrew Apple Peeler for my anniversary with my girlfriend. I put it into the primary on 9/19, and the secondary on 10/8. I didn't have a hydrometer to find an OG, and just for fun tonight I checked it at it was at 1.010. The kit says it should be...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, and I am currently fermenting my third batch. I made a Buffalo Sweat (oatmeal stout) clone from Northern Brewer this week. I pitched some Wyeast 1098 from a starter which seemed to get it going pretty quickly, but now the action has slowed considerably. I...
