I am not new to this, but new at the same time. I have a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to brewing, but I still have a bunch of questions and concerns. I am trying to get together my equipment and need to know what I should be looking out for first. Currently I have two BB carboys, a...

I'm really stressing right now because i can't figure out how to use the canned purée. I've also been told to use a clearing agent to help with a short ferm time. Any ideas?

I was told at my LHBS to use Amylase Enzyme Formula because it will help to convert the starches to fermentable sugars. Any ideas on that?

I hope someone posts. In my experience the cider forum gets no love. But, this sounds pretty good, a pumpkin cider.

Ok I'm not so sure this counts as a brew, but I really wanted to test out all of the hard work I've put into getting started. So I decided to start a cider. I did six gallon of cider, 3 lbs of sugar and a cuvée yeast. So no brewing required.

Side note... Please ignore grammar!!

Was wondering a few things. I just started my first ever fermentation. I forgot to take the original gravity and am not sure what the alcohol percentage will be or if there is a way to find this out.

Thank you all or the input. As soon as I get home I'm going to adhere the prob to the carboy and insulate the hell out of it. I know this is sort of off topic, but does anyone have any ideas about how to monitor these temp from an iPhone or other device? I think it would be extremely helpful to...

A fellow brewer friend of mine said that he would change the starsan solution to water because the acidity of the solution vs just plain water. I have seen people place the prob in the beer, taped and insulated on the carboy and placed in a bottle of water right next to the fermentation. I...

I was wondering where exactly the best place to put this would be use the temp prob. I have it in the fridge right next to the carboy (as the photo shows). The temp prob is placed in one of the used Apple Juice jugs and had starsan in it. Is there any problems with me using it this way and what...

So my first ever Cider has been completed and is sitting comfortably in a temp controlled fridge. I used... 6 gal of costco bought Apple Juice. 1 Packet of Cuvee Yeast 3lbs of sugar dissolved in one of the gallons of Juice. 4 tsp of Fermax Yeast Nutrients It is now sitting in my...

"IT" not tit!! Stupid iPhone!!

I have seen an unfiltered wit (which I can't remember the name) and a blue moon (i think it was just old) do that. I don't think tit altered the taste, but it was slightly unsettling.

Where are you located at?

Ok so you might have to explain force carbing for me, I know I've heard and had it explained to me I just forget. 6-8 5gal kegs isn't bad at all.

I am getting a 5lb co2 tank and a 5gal corny keg and was wondering if anyone knows the how many kegs I would get out of a 5lb tank?

I am so amazingly happy to hear that. I saw it and was pleasantly surprised that it said fresh squeezed, I can't wait to some yeast in and take it out for a spin.

Anyone have any insight into this juice. I haven't started yet, but soon very very soon.

My wife is from Kansas so I am used to the Pop, I'm from Texas and everyone down here calls it coke, but I still call it soda.

Honestly I'm just trying to figure out how people have truckloads of these kegs and then resell them. I know this is not the place for this, I was just curious.
