First time working with pumpkin this past October. We made a partial mash, and then were really busy and just now am getting around to hopefully bottling it. Today I opened up the primary, and noticed a light gray film almost across the top. Never seen something like it, so my guess is it...

Hey guys- I don't want to go all the way to the beer store today, but want to bottle I have a batch of beer(5g) from about march, then a batch of aplewifein(~4.8g) from december(ya its old). Think about 7oz is enough priming sugar? Trying to figure this one out. If it is what do you think...

So I just opened my latest AG batch of beer, and it seems that when I go to pour or even just leave it in the bottle it just foams up a ton. It foamed out of my bottle and filled an entire pint cup(in foam) and still more than 3/4 full in the bottle. Ideas? I do know how to pour a beer... Daum

So I had this in my primary for about a week...a day or so after I added the yeast I had bubbling for maybe one day..then it stopped hasn't bubbled since. Today I moved it to the secondary and at the very end(some trub mixed in) i took the FG and it showed up at about 1.05 or so. The yeast I...

What do you guys think? Could it be good? It has been about a week was thinking about adding it to the carboy for flavoring? Maybe a tad bit of nutmeg? thoughts? suggestions?! Daum

I have some apfelwein brewing and i guess i filled the carboys a bit too high and the airlocks i noticed today have junk in them from the fermenting...should I change them out or is it not to worry? Thanks, Daum

On my fourth batch of AG, been just doing different variations of Edworts pale ale. Looking for a darker beer or just a really good other AG beer that is preferably higher ABV. Preferably not too many ingredients, and fairly easy to make. Thanks, Daum

I am going to be bottling today and in the past I have always just did a random amount of time in bleach water for my bottles. How long do you guys suggest I put my bottles in the bleach water for? Thanks, Daum

I was going to follow his recipe but saw you could use brown sugar instead of corn sugar. When I was at the store didn't remember how much sugar so I bought 4 pounds. Any reason not to put this much in? Will it affect the taste or just ABV? Daum

3 carboys, co2 regulator, 20 pound co2 thank, 1 corny for 100? Daum

So after my first experience with AG which went ok, but this second one went great well for the most part. So i got my new hydrometer (6 bucks, what a killer) and went to work. I used eds haus recipe except used 4oz hops, 9lbs 2row, 2.5 vienna. The whole thing went really well, and when i was...

Well last night bottling was quite the exciting time. I had started around 830 or so, cleaned out a bunch of bottles. I knew my first batch AG was slightly less than 5 gallons and that I had drank most of my first batch by this point, which was around 50 or so bottles. I had also gotten new...

Anyone have any idea why a simple extract brew would taste way different in some bottles than others? I have had several bottles and brought some to a friends tonight but 2 of the 4 were not good, had some weird flavor. I used a bottling bucket and kept all the bottles in the same...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290139158957 Does that look like a good deal for one? Looking to get one since now with AG i need to be chilling much quicker than using my icebath. Thanks, Daum

Alright, its time to do the first all grain ever for me today. Any suggestions for my first all grain recipe? I am looking for a more full bodied, higher ABV beer. Was thinking maybe doing some flavoring like a lemon or mint? Ideas, advice, theories on life? Plan to get the supplies in a...

Well, I'm getting closer and closer to going AG. I now have the 30qt pot and propane burner and a 16 qt pot. For my lauter tun will a 5 gallon cooler do the trick or do I need a 10 gallon one(just trying to keep price to a minimum). I only plan to be doing 5 gallon batches, but do want some...

Just bought one of these far cheaper than i could find anywhere else:http://cgi.ebay.com/30-QT-Aluminum-Turkey-Fryer_W0QQitemZ250141195752QQihZ015QQcategoryZ20674QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Good luck. Daum

I am most likely going to switch over to AG very soon from extract...even though I've only done a couple of batches in extract. There are however a couple of things I'm worried about. First- Looking online for bulk supplies in Grain I found that while I can get a 50-55 pound sack for in the...

So just tried the first batch that is far from done bottle conditioning and it was great. Has been in the bottle since Friday(so 5 days), and it was fairly carbonated(not to optimal amount yet), and was a bit bitter, but I love really bitter beers. Pumped to get more done! Daum

Alright so i've been thinking about switching over to all grain brewing not only for the savings in cost i'll get, but also so i can have more control over my brews. I am trying to decide what equipment I'll need. So far this is my list: A 10 gallon or at least 7+ gallon pot Turkey fryer A...
