Hi there, Wondering if anyone has any comments on my latest brew. This was brewed from a BIAB kit labeled to make a "German Pilsner". The kit was a bit on the older side, had it sitting around for a bit. Anyway the brew process went fine as far as I could tell. I did leave the wort in the...

Hey all, So I've brewed a fair amount of beer without any issues in terms of beer not turning out as beer... until now? I've so far just used kits of varying skills. This kit was one of the pretty basic ones. Just add water and maybe some sugar...etc and your done. Not at all complicated. In...

Hi all, So this is still my first attempt at making cider from a kit. (Brewers Best Spiced Apple to be specific) The instructions that came with it basically say: 1. Ferment cider for 6 days (SG is 1.004 when finished) 2. Add some flavoring to it. Then bottle. (or I assume keg)...

Hey there, I have got one of those Cider house kits. I had not realized that the instructions call for a 7.9G fermenter. All I have are standard 5G carboys available. So my question: Is it ok for me to brew this in a smaller fermenter? I realize I will likely get less product but will it...

Hey all, So I recently got a kegerator and while I wait for my home-brew to brew I decided I'd invest in a commercial keg to try out the kegerator. Wondering if anyone has any pointers/tips...etc. I've noticed that when I open the tap for the beer the first glass (or half of it say) is...

Hello all, I've been thinking I'd like to buy basic economic kegerator and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. Firstly I've never "kegged" before so I'd still having to learn that part. Historically I've bottled. I found this one...

Hey there, So this is a two part question. First question: Is there any way I can tell approximately how much alcohol % is in my finished beer after all the process is completed? I've made a batch of beer using a kit that starts from making wort, fermentation, 2nd fermentation...
