Hello, I posted this a couple of days ago in the beginners forum. One of the responses said that I should have left the beer after it was bottled at room temperature for about 3 weeks. He said I might be able to salvage it by removing it from the fridge and shaking it every few days but he...

PROBLEM - Beer was completely flat, no carbonation what's so ever, tasted flat and stale. I am not sure what happened, I painstakenly followed the directions the best I could. I let sit in primary for about a week then racked to 2ndary for about 3 weeks. When I bottled I diluted and put the...

Just got done botteling. Took a hydrometer reading right before I started botteling and it came out around 1.7% alcohol. It's always had a really low gravity. My starting gravity was around 1.011. Is this typical for wheat beers? I'm just wondering if there is anything I could have done...

I've had it in there for about 3.5 weeks. Is this too long? I've just been super busy lately. I hope I didn't ruin it.

Ok, My beer has stopped fermenting in the primary fermentation bucket. Now, I understand that the point of the 2ndary fermentor is for making the beer more smooth and clearing out some of the sediments. What I don't understand is why people keep it in the 2ndary for 2 weeks? If it's done...

Hello all, I am new to home brewing and I have just brewed my first batch this past weekend. Here are my questions... From everything I've read it says that I should avoid exposing the wort to oxygen while in the primary fermentor. So when I go to siphon from primary to the 2ndary carboy...

Hello, I have a question. I just got into home brewing. I was wondering instead of putting my beer into bottles can I put it in 1 gallon containers when it is ready? Are there any implications of bottling this at a later date after it's been in my 1 gallon containers in the fridge?

So, last night i completed my first brew. It's currently in my primary fermentor and I put the airlock in. I noticed today that it's bubbleing. Well my question is are you supposed to keep the top cap on the airlock? If so how does the co2 escape? Every picture I see on the net seem to...
