Hello fellow brewers. So first attempt at adding a hop tea to my secondary. Was extremely diligent with sanitization. Noticed this on top of the beer(10 days in secondary). Never had one before but is this an infection? It's a Coopers Mexican Cerveza kit using the yeast packet that came with...

Hello all. I'm currently doing a Coopers Cerveza kit and would like to jazz it up a little bit by adding a hop tea. I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which would be better, adding the tea to secondary a few days before bottling or adding to the bottling bucket the day of bottling...

Ok experienced brewers here goes! Started my first ever batch (Brewhouse Mexican Cerveza) last Thursday night. By Friday night the airlock was bubbling away. By Sunday morning nothing and I noticed that the spigot on the bucket I purchased was leaking. Got the leak stopped, lost about 500ml...

Hello everyone. Complete rookie to the homebrew world, just started my first ever this morning. Thought I'd try a Mexican Cerveza kit from Brewhouse. My question is about clarity after bottling. The store I purchased from sold me a product called Turbo Clear. After reading about this at home, my...
