    Creative solutions for boiling 5 gallons on electric coils

    I've been brewing for a year and a half and recently upgraded my setup to all-grain with a nice 10 gallon pot and 10 gallon mash-tun. I'm moving from a house with a glorious gas stove with an extra high output burner to an apartment with a simple electric coil stove. I'm concerned about...

    Topping off secondary?

    I have 5 gallons of Mead that is entering fermentation in a 5 gallon plastic bucket shortly. However, the glass carboy I intended to use for racking is 6.5 gallons. I know that there should be a minimal amount of airspace in the secondary, so I'm wondering if it is acceptable to top off with...

    What am I doing wrong with my extract brews?

    To date I've brewed 6 batches and have bottled 3. The first was a basic IPA using Chinook hops, the second was a simple EPA. I made many mistakes and learned many things from these brews and my expectations weren't that high for my first two. They were drinkable, but not particularly...
