    Red ale has turned sour, help?

    Hey all, About two weeks ago I brewed a red ale from a kit, everything went well and it bubbled away at around 18C for the last week and a half. I've largely left it alone, but I've noticed that as of a few days ago there's a distinct sour smell off it, like cheap fortified wine. The taste...

    How to adjust gravity reading after adding sugar?

    Hey all, Not sure if this is the right part of the forum for this, but here goes. Myself and the girlfriend are currently trying our hand at brewing a banana wine, and we're not too sure how to calculate an accurate ABV due to the addition of sugar when we racked it from the primary. I haven't...

    Effect of extra light spray malt in a hefeweizen?

    Hey all, A few days ago I stumbled upon a recipe for an orange hefeweizen that looked promising and easy, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I followed it all perfectly, but it called for wheat malt which I couldn't source in short notice. In my impatience I used the only one my local brew...

    First brew turned out pretty bad, any tips for future brews??

    Bottle Conditioning at 60f

    I know the adage is 3 weeks at 70f, but my only available space for conditioning is a closet that seems to be a steady 60-62f. This will obviously slow down the process, but is that still within the acceptable range? Will my beer still carbonate at those temperatures? I'm going to try...

    First brew, watery with unpleasent aftertaste

    I've got my first brew on at the moment, almost finished as I'm aiming for an FG of 1.010 - 1.012 (it's a wheat beer), and it's currently 1.015. I know it's not done yet, but surely the final tastes have more or less come about by now. Right now the main flavour is fine, wheaty, but it's...

    Low temps during bottle conditioning

    I'm currently in the process of my first brew, a wheat beer, and I think I've figured out everything so far bar one concern. The only place in my house where I can reasonable store my bottles during carbonation seems to be a little too cold this time of year. It usually stays around 17C (59F)...
