Got a quarter to half way racked be fore I remembered to add my priming sugar and then let the flowing beer mix it in its own. It's been a week and the carbonation is week. Should I be worried about uneven carbing or does it just need more time? It's an IPA extract kit by the way.

So there is a slight chance my iPa was skunked, I have not dry hopped it yet. My question is if my batch was skunked will dry hopping mask the skunkyness? If not is there anything that can be done? Thanks

How much Sun exposure does it take to skunk a batch in a glass Carboy?

IPa extract kit came in under on the og, supposed to be 1.06- came out 1.050. What could be the cause? How could this effect the beer. I have calibrated the hydrometer so...

My first brew! A Wheat extract kit with an American Ale yeast and the addition of 4 oz. of Ahtanum to the boil and 1 oz. dry hop. Turned out freaking great! It was recommended that i shouldn't experiment until I've had a few brews under my belt but I just can't leave stuff alone. Up next single...

Just picked up 4oz. Of FF7 hops for my first IPA! Anybody had a chance to use these yet?

Thinking about making an IPA with Nelson Sauvin Hops. Any suggestions?

If I put my bottle in the dishwasher will the labels clog anything up? I figure this would be a good way to get the labels off using hi temp wash, sanitize and hot air dry.

Two questions. First, I didn't weigh down my hop sock, is that going to limit the hoppiness? Doesn't sound right but then again this is my first time brewing. Second, are all the Hop particles going to settle at the bottom or will it end up in the bottling bucket and in turn end up in the bottles?

What temp should I keep my secondary at? Fermentation is complete. It a wheat with American ale yeast.

What type of action, if any, and/or results, should I expect to see in the secondary?

My wife moved my primary next to the vent, I had no idea until after an hour! When I found it it was 77 going on 80! It's a wheat, it's pretty much done fermenting, day four. Should I be worried?

Ok, first brew,it's a hoppy wheat made from a wiezen extract kit with a replacement yeast , American Ale, and the addition of Ahtanum hops. First off, I didn't take the original gravity reading. Should I still take readings to see if the match what the beer is supposed to be? Second, I read...

I've had to move my primary a few times, for reasons I could not avoid, during the first three days of fermentation. Aside from gentle sloshing while walking I kneed the bucket pretty got a couple of times, face palm! How worried should I be about wet cardboard beer?

I'm brewing my first batch, a hoppy wheat, and I'm on the third day in primary. It's been a steady 72 all three days. I thought that was good but now I'm reading that if you start off to warm you could end up with off flavors. Is this true, if so, is it to late? Is it even going to make that big...

First time brewing, first time posting and I don't know if i'm doing either correctly. I received a gift card for my local brew store for Christmas, it was enough to get equipment and a beer kit. My choices were limited and since I'm the only one in my family who likes most good beers, I figured...
