Does anyone know where I can learn more about smoking beer. Also, what is brimstone (is this a technique)? I've heard of distilleries using smoke in their whiskey too. Very curious about this process. Cheers!

I'm bottling my first brew (American Wheat) tonight. It has been fermenting a few days longer than suggested (2 weeks). It is definitely ready to bottle though. Any advice before I get started tonight? I have new bottles that I rinsed with DI water and allowed to air dry. I'm assuming they...

Hey guys! I'm completely new to homebrewing, but excited to get started and learn through experience (best way to learn). I don't know much and will ask a lot of questions, but I'll try to search before asking the same damn question that everyone repeatedly asks. Cheers!
