So I made a rasberry wheat beer, and used both Whirlfloc and gelatin to try and clear it up. It's coming out of the keg super cloudy still. I used 3lbs of fresh raspberries(I pureed) and added it to the secondary. Is there a reason it's so cloudy? Or did I mess something up? Still on the...

So I want to add some Rasberries and lime to a wheat beer that is fermenting. I have frozen raspberries (from the store) and like juice. Do I need to soak these in vodka for a period of time to sanitize? And how much is a good amount for 5 gallons?

So I just racked my stout into the secondary to add cacao nibs, and when I tasted it, it seemed very bitter. I dont think it was sour, but bitter like a pale ale almost. Is this just a product of fermentation not being quite done? Or what could cause it? It's the Simply Beer Stout kit, if...

So I want to take some of my freshly kegged beer to a friends house. If I am going to drink it within a day, is it necessary to purge the bottles? Or can I just fill and cap the bottles to take?

So I'm doing Northern Brewer Swig of Sunbeams, and after the 2-week primary fermentation, my airlock has almost completely stopped bubbling. The recipe calls for a 1 to 2-week secondary with a 5-7 day dry hop. Should I just just dry hop 7 days and call it good? Any suggestions help!

So my dad's birthday is coming up and he loves KBBA, but were in MN so it's tough to get. I was thinking about trying to make a batch of something similar but could use some suggestions. I was thinking using the Simply Beer Brown Ale kit and oaking it with Woodford Reserve soaked chips, but I'm...

So I finished up a kit last weekend (first ever) and its fermenting, but the suspense is killing me, so I'm going to brew again soon. I've heard the Simply Beer kits are solid beers but want to know if anyone has changed up or added to its recipe to give it a different flavor? Any suggestions...

So I just brewed the NB Swig of Sunbeams DIPA this Saturday, and was going to use Whirlfloc to clear it up a bit, but I forgot. Is there a better fining technique that helps clear up some of the haze that I heard this beer has?

So I'm about to brew my first beer, and I'm pretty excited. But the place where I will be able to ferment runs in the upper 50s for temperature. This seems a little chilly and I'm just wondering if this is a problem, and if there is a solution other than getting that area warmer. This is a pale...
