Brewed a honey wheat 5 days ago and I'm pretty sure its done fermenting. Checked the gravity last night and it was 1.012. Going to check again tomorrow night and if it hasn't changed I will either put in secondary or bottle but which one? I couldn't care less about clarity but will putting it in...

I brewed 5 gallons of a honey wheat last week and just tested the gravity last night to see how things were going. The og was 1.061 and right now is sitting at 1.012. I believe that puts it at around 6.5%. . I got this recipe from a YouTube video and the guy even said that his came out to 6.5 so...

Last night I brewed up 5 gallons of some honey wheat ale. I got the recipe from a you tube video that I saw but the recipe forgot to mention the addition of cascade hope at the last 10 minutes. I watched the video again last night and realized that the guy mentioned it in the video but not in...

Just picked up this pump at a yardsale for $5. Was wondering if it would work for pumping my sparge water to the hlt. Says its good up to 160 degrees. Obviously my sparge water would be just a little hotter. Cannot find anywhere if it says it is good grade or not...

I just made a gingerbread ale 2 weeks ago and was wondering if it would be ok to bottle. I had planed on taking a gravity reading on Thursday then again on Sunday to see if it changed at all but I never got around to doing that. Would it be safe to bottle it tomorrow?

I just made a wort chiller from some extra copper I had laying around and I was wondering if I should take some sand paper to it to get off all the grime and tarnished looking stuff or will a good scrub with soap and water be ok? Also I soldered quite a few pieces on it and was just making sure...

Sooner or later I would like to make a system where I can pump my hot water/sparge water into my mash tun and them from my mash tun into my kettle then into the fermenter. What would be a good cheap pump to use? Can I use an awuarium pump or any type or water pump for that matter? Also could...

Doing my first all grain batch and want to make sure I have an understanding of how to mash out and sparge correctly. So after mashing for 60 minutes @ lets say 152 I pour a few pitchers till it starts to run clean and pour it back in the mash tun then drain everything into my boil kettle...

I am brewing my first all grain batch soon and had some questions. I have heard good and bad things about the bazooka screens and false bottom on a brew kettle and was wondering if instead of having one of them could I just put a filter over my fermenting bucket and run the beer from the brew...

Hey everyone. New to the forums and new to all grain brewing. I have a few questions about making a keggle. I just picked up a coors light keg yesterday from the scrap yard for a hell of a deal and am turning it into a keggle. So far I have cut the top off and thas that. I plan to have a 1/2"...
