I ordered this http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/review/product/list/id/3560/ I plan on adding it at the bottling stage, in the bottling bucket. Does the amount of priming sugar differ now?

Why is this so important? Also, I dont get it. You rehydrate for 15 minutes in 95F water? Why is it vastly different than pitching directly into the wort? Will it not get rehydrated in the wort itself? Clueless here.

What is considered too long of a time to chill your wort to 70F? I chilled it to 70F in about 30 minutes. My beer is not clear, but does taste good. It has also been in primary for 19 days, bottled today. It is an extract kit, pitched yeast US05 at 68F. I did about a 3 gallon boil and topped...

I need some reassurance here. I want to bottle tonight, but need to make sure if all systems are a go. I got 1.011 or 1.012 FG on Wednesday. Today looks like I got 1.011 Does it appear a slight change or the same?

Ok dont laugh. Since my wife is helping with the brew process. Eg cleaning all the bottles, delabeling etc. She has asked that my 2nd brew be fruity. She wants a light beer that can have fruit additives added to it. She does seem to enjoy Anchor Steam, that's as far as her hop pallet will...

I just took a hydro reading. I believe it's 1.012 Is that right? Also, how can I find out the stats of my beer. Like ABV, and color. The OG was 1.048

I know I shouldn't have done it, but being my first time and curiosity hit. I had to open the primary bucket for a quick glance. What are your thoughts on how it looks? Any slight appearance of an infection?

From my understanding fining agents are used to help clear the beer. I do not have a secondary. So can I still put some fining agents into my primary that will make a difference? If so, which agents are best?

Anyone know where to get the closest matching Anchor Steam clone extract kit?

I'm brewing up a Sierra Madre kit from Northern Brewer. I pitched it on the 10th. The instructions say it takes 6 weeks to be ready. However I have some out of town guests that I want to "wow" them with my new hobby, they'll be here in 4 weeks. Any chance this brew will be ready by then? If...

If one were to drink it, does it only cause gas? Or is it laxative like?

Should I add fermcap drops to the fermenter??? I'm thinking this thing is going to blow any minute.

I just put my first batch into the fermenter tonight!!! So pumped! It is a Sierra Nevada clone from Northern Brewer. The OG was suppose to be 1.052, however mine read 1.048. Does this mean I messed up somehow? Also, I pitched the yeast at 66F. Any problems there? What temperature room do...

I've seen a video where the liquid yeast pack is thrown in a bucket with the sanitizer and the rest of the equipment to get sanitized. Can I do the same with the dry yeast pack or is it not water proof?

From a lot of posts that I've read it seems their can be a lot of sediment/particles that may show up in the bottled beer. I have a bottling bucket with a spigot for bottling. Has anyone taped or glued a fine mesh to the spigot end that goes into the bucket to create a filter of sorts? A...

The instructions say 1 drop for 375ml(12oz) or two drops for 750ml(25oz). I am planning on bottling with 12oz and 22oz. Will two drops be too much for the 22oz bottle?

Anyone know which of the 3 following extract kits is the clone for Widmer's Hefeweizen? http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/bavarian-hefe-weizen-extract-kit.html http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/honey-weizen-extract-kit.html...

Are these big enough for 5 gallon fermenting batches?

I need some help here. I'm thinking of getting one of the following two kits. They're both named starter kits, however one is a basic, the other deluxe. I can see some differences. But how does one compare to the other? What advantages would the deluxe kit really give me over the basic to...

I'm looking to buy a 5 gallon brewing kit. Just wondering if others are successful in using their stove top to handle such a load. My stove is gas, hopefully it can do the trick.
