Hi everyone, As the title states, I’ve had my beer in the fermenter (since fermentation) for the past 2 months. It only required 2 weeks according to the directions. My questions are, is that okay? Do I need to do anything different when I transfer to the bottling bucket? Thanks all!

Hi all, I’m curious as to whether you follow the temp recommendations on the back of the yeast packs or if there is a specific temp I should be following depending on the type of brew... I am currently brewing Conundrum Sessions IPA, and my temp strip on the side of the fermenter reads...

Hi all, I’m looking to purchase a fermenter warmer tonight/tomorrow and id like to know what you find works best for you. I brew 5 gallon batches, and do not have a fancy setup. So, something like the FermWrap is what I’m looking at. However, I’ve also seen interesting things such as Inkbird...

Hi all, Is there a such thing as an electric appliance (like a hot-plate type of appliance) that can boil 5 gallons of beer? I want to move my brew station to my garage and would love that option if it existed. Thanks! BrettCo

Hi all, Just curious on what to do after I let my cider sit for 4 months. What I’m planning on doing is adding some graham cracker flavoring to it (no clue if this will taste good, but just thought I’d try in about 6 bottles). Any thoughts on this flavor? Also, I want to give out a 6 pack to...

Hi all, I brewed an extract kit about one month - 5 weeks ago. It completed fermenting about less than one week in. I still have it in the fermenter and have not yet bottled. Is this okay? Is there a time where it could be considered too long to wait? I still have the plug and the airlock in...

Hey all, If you had to choose one burner to buy for making 5 gallon batches, which would it be? I'm looking at the Hellfire, and it's up there as my top choice, but does it really matter if I went for a cheaper one? What are your thoughts? I don't anticipate on brewing any more than 5...

Hi all, this is my first post ever in this forum. Like other forums I belong to, I look forward in interacting with all of you, and helping others once I get my foot on the ground! With that being said, I have absolutely zero experience in this hobby, but I love the thought of being a part of...
