I'm starting to get really frustrated now. Me and some friends are trying to make some cider, but we got some serious problems with the fermentation. It bubbles like hell from the air-lock, and we can see lots of bubbles rising to the surface. It also smells like alcohole. When it...

My sistet is gluten intolerant, so I wanted to surprise her with brewing some gluten free beer for her! So what's the best way to do it? What ingredients shall I use? Thanks!

My first batch of cider ever and it seems to turn out pretty nice. Took a while for it to start ferment but as you can see on the second image it finally started a proper fermentation! Airlock activity every 4 seconds and lots of sexy bubbles is rising to the surface! The taste is absolutely...

Hello guys! How good is bakers yeast for fermentation? I can understand that it's not any good for beer brewing, but what for cider? The reason why I am curious about bakers yeast is that I can't by any brewery yeast nearby! Kind Regards

I tried to make some elderflower cider and was told that it may have some wild yeast in it. I let it stay for a couple of days without putting in any yeast. It started to bubble pretty much in the air lock and at that time the gravity was 1.051. Then after 5 days I checked the gravity again...

Hello guys, Me and a couple of friends made a 60L batch of elderflower cider. The expected SG is 1.067. We followed the recipe from "River Cottage" which said that elderflower has natural yeast and most of the time don't need any added yeast. Well the first day of the fermentation process...

Can spme kind soul tell me in details how to make an AG?

Hello guys! I wonder when I should pour in 0.5 kg of cane sugar in a 20 liter batch, is it before the steeping grains? Before the extract? Before the boiling of the hops or after a while in the fermentor? Really need fast help! One thing more, I got two different hops, one for bittering...

I wanna know what kind of sugars you guys use! Just write it in this thread! I use fruit sugar :)

I'm going to buy some yeast for my wort, and I don't know which one to buy. Because it says that the final density is low with Brewferm and medium with Safale. Which one is the best for maximum ABV? Are beer density the same as gravity, Like I want to get low density to get highest amount of ABV?

Would it give a bad taste to throw in a bunch of fructose in an extract brew to higher to ABV? And when do I know if I should take two packages of yeast?

If I want to check the current gravity in my wort/beer during fermentation, is it okey to take a sample in a test jar(which is sanitized ofcourse) and check and then pour it back in? Is there a chance for it to be bad if you open the airlock or will it be totally fine? Don't really want to...

Yeah, follow the topic! Skulle vara kul att höra av lite svennar! :)

I'm going to show you guys some pictures from my very first brew! I was really amazed by the taste from this beer, didn't thought it would be so good for my first try :)

I just thought of something, I brewed some beer a couple of weeks ago and used Brewferm light. At that time I thought that it would make a light colour, but Is that true or does it mean it is a light beer with low ABV? :/

So, as the topic says, do you guys have any recommended hops that will give a nice taste?

Hey fellas I haven't get around this yet with grains and malt. But is it possible to crush the Cara amber malt and steep it in an hour and then pour in malt extract? Would it be a good way to brew or is it completely wrong?

Hey guys! I want to order som specialty grains. I found this swedish site (I'm swede) that has many beer ingredients. There is a tab where it is Malt and maltextract and I wonder if caramel malt works the same as specialty grains, before using maltextract. Like I boil caramel malt in 60 min and...

I'm a beginner to brewing and I wonder if this beer look healthy. It's been fermenting in one and a half week. For me it looks really bad and if it isn"t, what should I do with the "goo" layers?
