I live in Queens and would be interested in the bottles and any other equipment you are trying to get rid of

It was between 60 and 65 degrees and was fermenting for 17 days

Just bottled an irish red ale and when i took a sample for a hydrometer reading i drank it and it had a faint taste of something similar to rubbing alcohol. I thought this to mean it is infected but i bottled it anyway. What r your thoughts?

I was thinking of getting a 5 gallon cooler to serve as a HLT and complete my 3 tier system. I was gonna just heat my sparge water and dump it in the cooler then attach a valve (similar to my mash tun) and attach some silicone tubing to that which attaches to a fly sparge over my mash tun. So...

Are there any free ones or should i pay the $5 for the MR. Malty one for my iphone, also is that one worth it?

Thanks, If i come back after a week tho and it still did not ferment, could I add more yeast or is it pretty much ruined?

It was the irish red ale from wyeast, with no starter and about 6 weeks old. Not sure about the ferm temp, but it is at 65 degrees right now which I thought to be pretty standard.

I made 5 gallons of an irish red ale about 36 hours ago and it still has no signs of fermentation, but I also have a 1 gallon batch made from left over wort that I pitched harvested yeast in and it started fermenting very quickly. I know I should wait 72 hours, but I am leaving for a week in a...

So I made a 5 gallon batch last night, first time all grain, with grain that has been milled for about a month and yeast that was 6 weeks old (wyeast package) and I had some wort left over so I made an experimental 1 gallon batch as well with yeast I had previously harvested. The 1 gallon batch...

My airlock is bubbling about once every 15-20 seconds and has been fermenting for 10 days. I've read that you are supposed to take hydrometer reading to make 100% sure it is done fermenting, but how can I tell from the frequency of its bubbling? Thanks

Ya I've seen that one a lot Revvy and it looks pretty simple so I might give it a shot. Also what are your guys opinion on a false bottom vs. manifold vs ss braided hose in the mash tun. I know it is up to preference but what have your experiences been?

I am interested in making my own mash tun, but I have seen so many different ones that I do not know which one would be best. Could you guys give me some links for the ones you think are best? Also I've read about some materials not being safe to use in making mash tuns, so what materials would...

Also I've read that some people switch the blow off tube with an airlock. Is this necessary and if so when should i do it?

I just made my first batch of beer and i made my own blow off tube coming out of my fermentar and going into a bucket of sanitized water. The tube is producing about 5 bubbles per second in the water. It has been in the fermentar for about 14 hours, is this normal? There also seems to be a lot...

haha ya your right, i got my answer pretty quickly

Ya i suppose you guys are right, especially when I'm a first time brewer. I will get some for my second batch tho and see if i like the difference (because I do like clear looking beers).

Did anyone ever use gelatine as a fining agent or know how to use it?

Also it recommends adding whirlfloc , but I am unable to go back to the brewshop tomorrow to pick some up. I heard that unflavored gelatin works as a clarifying agent too so do you think that would be an acceptable replacement? Or do you guys know of any other things that can substitute for...
