I brewed a summer wheat-ish beer about two months ago. After one week I racked and went to a secondary. It has been in the secondary since then, about 7 weeks. I have been traveling and couldn't find the time to bottle (I know, terrible excuse).I'm wondering if it will still be okay after...

For those of you who have asked about this brew I have drank mostly all of the batch at this point, and like most, it seems each one is getting better and better. Here is the recipe: RECIPE: http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/507 And here's what I would have done differently now that...

I just added the wart to my primary and filled with water. Water was bottled and at room temperature, and the wort was at about 100F when I added it to the primary. I'm waiting now to pitch the yeast and want to wait until it's at 70F or so, but, I have to leave my house and will be gone for...

Hello, I left my yeast at room temperature yesterday for about 4 hours. When I remembered I had left it I immediately put it in the refrigerator. I wanted to brew this afternoon. Is the yeast still going to be okay to use?

So... My brew just boiled over a bit...not a lot...but enough that it looks like some hops just came out...should I be okay?!?!?! Also, for checking the OG, can I just put my hydrometer right in my wort once it has cooled to check?

Here is the recipe: http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/507 It doesn't say anything about mashing with two row. It just says the stages in which to do this... Help! I've got 1.5 gallons of water heated to 155 degrees and I need to know if I should kill the brew for tonight before...

This recipe doesn't say...so I'm going to go with 1.5 gallons to boil before I begin tea bagging...unless someone can read this recipe and see something I'm not... http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/507

SO... I transferred my brew to a secondary today and am prepping to make something tonight when I realized that I only have one carboy cap. So, I ran to the local brew store (took an hour because of traffic) and got another cap and an airlock. Simple, right? I got home and realized that...

Hey everyone... I'm going to begin the brewing process for my third brew...a honey basil ale. Take a look at the recipe below...I have all of the ingredients. Except, I have fresh basil, and not SWEET BASIL. The question I have is, should I steep the basil, or should I just toss it in...

I'm looking to brew my wife's favorite next! Does anyone have a great recipe for a stella artois clone?

After you boil the bottling sugar with water and dump it into the bottling bucket is there anything else you need to do to make sure the sugar mixers with the entire batch of beer? What is the full purpose for the bottling sugar? Just for Carbonation?

I just cracked open a bottle from my first brew, an abbey ale that has been sitting in bottles for 6 days... Initial thoughts: It definitely tastes like beer. It has strong flavor. It is very strong tasting. I'm not sure why. It doesn't have any bubbles shooting up from the bottom of...

Guys, I have a brew bottled that I want to have a few labels made for. I am naming the brew after my brother's daughter who was just born...the first in the generation. Anyone know where to have decent labels made for a good price?

Alright... I'm about 80 hours in to my wheat brew. It still stinks like crazy, there is some krausen growing. But, there has been nothing to go through the blow off. Is this normal? Do some brews send nothing through the blow off? What should I expect over the next two weeks in the...

So...I was excited because my blue moon esque brew has begun to ferment. However, I just checked on it (40 hours in carboy) and decided to open the carboy. I took the rubber lid off and thought it smelled quite bitter. There is foam and bubbling and so forth. But, it doesn't smell...

This is a picture of the bottom of the carboy. The yeast looks like it is growing...and the top of the wort has a bit of a film/foam to it. Is this good news? P.S. I hope this picture uploads... Chris

So I finally got everything done last night. I transferred the wort to the carboy after it had cooled (probably well beyond 90 degrees, actually) Is that a problem that it cooled so much? I checked the temperature of the full carboy (3.5 gallons water, 1.5 gallons wort) and it was at 64...

So... I am brewing a blue moon esque type beer. The wort is on the stove right now. It is brewing with: 6lb wheat lme 1 oz hallertau (in a tea like bag) My question is this: I have two more tea like bags and I have three more things I'm adding with 10 minutes left in the boil...

Well, I made it to the bottling stage. Two weeks in the fermenter, and now, in the bottles. I plan to leave the bottles in a dark room for 7-10 days before trying one. I must say though, it smelled wonderful in the bottling bucket as I was bottling! Hopefully no bacteria and everything is...

Okay... So, my ale has been in the primary for 11 days now, 8 with the airlock. There has seemed to be no bubbly activity with the airlock for probably 5-6 days now. I decided to take a hydrometer reading tonight and I have a couple of questions... When I took the rubber lid off there the...
