Hey there, So I got a used carboy and, after multiple washes including an overnight soak in oxiclean and hot water, there's still this grainy stuff in the inside that just won't go away. picture: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8328/8413537425_7ffec5998b_h.jpg Was told that it looks like...

Hi there, So after ages of brewing small batches I'm stepping up a bit and purchasing an 8 gallon brewpot. The one I have in mind is this: http://hopdawgs.ca/Brewing-kettles?product_id=261 My question is, what is the difference between a 2 piece and 3 piece ball valve? Which is the better...

Crossposted because I wasn't sure if this belonged here or in the beginners section. Really sorry if that broke a rule.. Okay, so. without getting in to a big story about it, I have an idea for a Pumpkin Coffee Ale for next month, but money is REALLY bad right now so I can't afford a lot of...

I didn't know whether to put this thread in this section or the extract section so apologies if I messed up on that ground. Okay, so. without getting in to a big story about it, I have an idea for a Pumpkin Coffee Ale for next month, but money is REALLY bad right now so I can't afford a lot of...

Hey folks. Still on my first from-scratch beer and most noticibly have some jitters. So it's been almost three weeks since I put my brew in the fermenter and...I think there's still some airlock activity. For reference, my airlock is one of these: Currently the water is completely on one...

Hey folks, me again. The one who had trouble with the OG rading on her hydrometer. As I said on there, turns out the initial concern was wrong and my brew is still fermenting wonderfully. Though now I have a question. So the recipe I used was more or less this one, and all grain Arrogant...

Hey there...so I'm a bit worried right now... I did my first "from scratch" recipe and it was an all-grain American Ale. Anyways, the original gravity was supposed to come up at about 1.078 and mine came out, well...about 1.010 (at least I think that's what the reading said. It's the red line...

Hey folks. Ran in to a bit of an unavoidable problem... So I went to my Homebrew shop (sadly the only one in the freakin' city) and asked if they had any Crystal 120. They didn't, but they do have Crystal 70/80 and I ended up getting it. The question is, my recipe calls for about 1.5lbs...

Hey there! So...I originally posted asking for pale ale recipes yesterday, but I later got in talks with a brewery who are willing to give me some of the German Weissbier liquid yeast made in their labs and...well, I don't feel that I can really pass that up. I still want some paleness in the...

Hey there, folks. I'm thinking about making my first pale ale (and indeed my first beer without a kit) and was wondering if there were some good recipes to make a tasty 5 gallon brew. Ideally I'd like to put in a hint of grapefruit in, as a note. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Hey there! So here's my little dilemma. I'm currently brewing a stout homebrew kit. I've been really busy lately, so It's been in the fermenting bucket for more than two weeks. And because of busy stuff yet again, it's going to be at least a week before I'm able to bottle this sucker...

Hey there! So I'm putting together my next brew, which is going to be a chocolate ginger stout. Now, I was told for the chocolate part of it, powdered bakers chocolate would be idea. The question is...how much would be good to put in for a 5 gallon brew? I was told that, depending on how...

Hi there! My name is Robin and I hail from Toronto, Canada! I'm also a gal who (obviously) loves beer and is new to the wonderful world of home brewing. Not sure when my interest started, but I got really excited when I purchased a copy of Charlie Papazian's "The Complete Joy Of Home...
