I could culture from a bottle, but would not know how to begin to do that. Still pretty new at this. Is there a process/directions online i could look at.

Does anybody know where to find a good Spotted Cow Extract Clone recipe?

I need more aroma!! Can I just dry hop (pellets) straight away as soon as wort is transferred to the primary, or should I let the yeast do its thing and dry hop after beer has been transferred to the carboy?

I've had my Kolsch in the bottles 3 weeks now - cracked one open last night. Good color and carbonation. But the taste is very fruity. I've never had a Kolsch before. Is this style supposed to be a little fruity tasting?

Has anybody every tried simply washing bottles in a dishwasher? Does this work and can it replace sanitizing them all by hand?

If I have an extract recipie that calls for 2 3.3lb cans of LME and I want to use DME, how much DME should I use?

Will dry hopping give me more hop aroma or just more bittnerness? I brewed an extract IPA - great hop bitterness, but not much hop flavor/aroma. Will dry hopping improve this?

it's been 5 days in the bottle, tested one @ 5days (i know..2 early). most other brews i've done have at least been somewhat carbonated by day 5, but this kolsch is totally flat - what gives??

should i ferment at ale temps or lager?:tank:

....I want to do it economically. I'd be brewing lager extact kits. Is there a "cheap" way to do this? Should I just go out and buy a used fridge?

Has anybody ever tried beer-wine.com extract kits?

I thought it was an ale?!

I brewed a Kolsch kit and transferred it the other day into a secondary carboy. It smelled a little cidery. Is that normal for a Kolsch?

Hi I brewed an extract kit IPA. After 2 weeks in the bottle, it's totally unremarkable. I know....I should wait longer. My question is, if this stuff tastes "watery" is it simply a question of aging?

I am brewing a Kolsch Kit from Beer-Wine.com. Seemed that the wort, when I pitched the yeast, was darker than I expected. I waited until the end of the boil to add the DME and rice solids. How can I get a lighter color next time?

Just picked up a Hefe extract kit. I've heard you don't have to rack into a secondary - just leave it in a primary for 7-10 days and then bottle. Two questions: 1. Is this ok? 2. Won't leaving the beer on the yeast cake for that long create off flavors? Thanks!

Can you bottle this instead of kegging?

I am about to brew and weisse extract kit that includes steeping grains and hop pellets. My secondary is going to be in use for the next 2 weeks with a nice IPA. Can I just ferment in the primary bucket and bottle once FG is reached?

I used a DME this weekend to brew an IPA. I added 7lbs of light DME and when I added to the boil, it seemed to clump up. It eventually dissolved, but I was just wondering if clumping was normal
