I brew some beer last week ( 5 gal extract kit) and have a fermentation question. I allowed the wort to cool to a little under 75 deg. and then pitched the yeast. I held the temp at between 60 and 65 deg. I saw some action within the first 24hrs and it lasted maybe 2 days. As of the 5th day I'm...

Anyone know what type of fitting I would use to connect a beer bottle to metal pipe like black iron piping?

I recently bought a BevAir kegerator for $20. The door is rusted to the point it doesn't hang onto the cabinet and the top is loose due to rust. The tower seems as though it will be fine when time to use it and the refrigeration works great. What would be needed to use it as a fermentation...

Can anyone suggest a good, sessionable pale ale or IPA recipe that is also an extract recipe? Thanks

I have a CPA that has been in the bottle for 7 days at 72-74*. How long do you need to maintain that temp before you can cool it down. I have another beer I bottled tonight that will need to beat the 72-74 temp also and don't have but 1 place to keep that temp. As a 2nd question, will bottle...

Anyone seen these available? Would they do well in the area of Maryland's Eastern Shore. I know our climate is friendly to hops growing but not sure what Mosaic likes. Also would like to grow Citra. Any ideas?

I brewed an extract kit of Dogfish Head's Dark Star Licorice Stout on Monday evening. As per the instructions, I added the DME just as the water was about to boil. The kit called for 8 lbs of dark dry malt and 1 lb of light dry malt. Well I guess I misplaced the light dry malt and only added...

A bit long but.....I have a batch of Citra pale ale that I dry hopped after being in the primary a week. I was planning to leave it in the primary until bottling but I have another kit to brew so I decided to move it to a carboy. When I did that I didn't move the hop bag with it. I will be ready...

I've been seeing the process " cold crashing" mentioned a lot here and am unclear about what it means. Tried to search but couldn't get an understanding of its purpose. I am currently dry hopping a Citra pale ale. I forgot to add the irish moss to help clear it. When I added the hops for dry...

I am planning to dry hop my Citra pale ale today and have a question. When I opened my primary I saw that the kraeusen had left approx a 2' ring of gunk around the inside of the bucket. Should I try to wipe that out or leave it alone. I was going to leave the beer in the primary until bottling...

I've brewed a Citra pale ale that had 2oz of Magnum hops added at the beginning of the boil and then Citra added at 1/2 oz at a time starting at 20 mins left and done every 5 minutes till the end and 1oz at flame out. I have 3oz of Mosaic to dry hop this beer with. My question is this... What...

I did my 2nd brew today. The kit had all the needed ingredients. I realized an hour after putting it in the primary that I had not added the irish moss during the boil as directed. What effect will this have on my beer? I made a pale ale with alot of hops additions. I'm assuming its too late to...

I hope this isn't too long but I have a question about what is going on with my 1st brew. While my beer was in the primary fermenter I saw no bubbles in the airlock after about 4 days. I used Safale-04 yeast. Due to a dried cherry addition I moved the beer to a sec. fermenter ( a glass carboy)...
