So like the title says, my last few batches have been quite off. I've let them sit in bottles for awhile and they're all coming out a bit flat and very lemonny tasting. Granted I have been using hefe strains of yeast but even the scotch wee heavy I cracked into lastnight had lemon flavors and...

Hi, I have a random question. Would it be possible to bottle condition in something bigger than the typical 12oz. bottle? Something like this? http://www.containerandpackaging.com/item.asp?item=G005 I say this, because it's very rare that the wife and I enjoy just one beer, and we'd like to...

So, these brewcraft kits really leave some to be desired. Yes I know I can figure things out, but as far as the instructions go, it's pretty lackluster. I got the belgian wit kit and I'm brewing it today, but I have some questions. I know, the grains in the steep bag @150 for 30 minutes, but...

Morning all, I've posted a few topics in the begginers forum, but forgot to introduce myself. Matt from Dumfries. I just started due to my inlaws doing this for awhile and they were nice enough to buy me a complete starter kit for Christmas and it's been going gang busters since then. So far...

So, this would be my 4th home brew. The rest have all been brewers best kits which are fairly straight forward, with the most intense being the dunklewizen I did first with the help of my inlaws. So since we love Chimay, we figured this would be a nice try. I got this kit and there is all...

So my first home brew has been in my carboy for a week now, a brewers best kit beer. You guys here and the amount of topics helping me has been amazing! This site answered every single one of my questions and I was able to make a complete step by step process following directions here and...
