So I just noticed this last time that two of my carboys have some small scratches on the inside of them, from the bristle brush that I clean them with. After every brew, I PBW them and store them away after that. Before I put wort in there, I will soak in Star San. However, I am slightly worried...

So i am relatively new to brewing in general and have never used a fruit puree before. I have a wheat beer base, that with the grain alone is sitting at 1.051OG/5%ABV. However, I do want to add 2lbs of a White Peach Puree into primary after fermentation has settled down some; that has a brix...

I know there have been a few threads about this, but I could not find a general consensus on my issue. I have done about 15 AG brews and the first 10 were great. The past 5 batches, I have started to sample after one week, after the primary fermentation has subsided for the most part. I have not...

I purchased an aluminum HLT, because it had a built in heater which works great and no need for propane in the garage. However, it has oxidized, which I did before brewing to create the "barrier". What I am wondering is do I need to worry about the buildup in the tank? There is some white...

Alright, so noob question and I apologize. I am confused about sparging and mash out? Is it correct to assume that I mashout to stop activity, then fly-sparge until I reach my pre-boil volume? If this is correct, what is the best way to raise the grain bed up to the 170(?) temperature. Should...

So I am brewing a blonde ale here tomorrow and was going off a recipe that called for 5.2 lbs extra pale dry extract 1.5 lbs German Pils Malt 1.5 German Munich 1.5 lbs Pale Crystal Crystal and Saaz hops in the specified increments. Partial mash of grains for an hour with LME(replacing...
