Does something look wrong with these two bags of crystal, or is it just me?

Is there a noticeable difference in taste? I've only ever used white wheat but I can get a sack of red wheat for a good price.

Anyone ever make one? My brother brought over a case of it that he had bought and of course everyone loved it and now wants me to make some. Problem is, I have no idea how to do it. It tasted like a very good root beer but I think it was around 7% ABV though you couldn't tell by the taste.

So much for beer not killing you. Of course crocodile bile is nothing to mess with. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/69-people-die-after-drinking-contaminated-beer-in-mozambique/ar-AA84lOo?ocid=ansnewsap11

For the last 7 years I've always brewed with my well water. It's relatively hard and contains a moderate amount of iron. The only filtration was a sediment filter to remove rust. So far I've been happy with the way the beer has turned out. No complaints at all. I just installed a water...

Anyone know what would cause this?

About 3 months ago I made an Amarone kit. Everything went well. I stabilized it and waited 3 weeks longer than the instructions said before bottling. That was about 3 weeks ago. I had finally got labels so I was putting them on yesterday when I noticed that there is sediment in the bottles...

I've been reusing yeast for about 6 months and this problem has gotten progressively worse. It's to the point where 4 weeks after pitching it's still cloudy, even cold crashing for a week won't drop the yeast out. To make sure it wasn't an issue elsewhere, I used new yeast for the last...

I have a couple 5" 120v AC Boxer fans that I want to use for stirplates. They have a nice wire finger guard on them and my flasks sit on them perfectly. I won't need to do anything else except attach a magnet to the fan. Problem is, I need to be able to control the speed. I wired one of...

Any idea what causes this? I brewed a Bass Ale clone using WLP007. I Pitched at 65f and slowly let it come up to 68f. It was in primary for 4 weeks before I kegged it. The first time I brewed this recipe it turned out perfect and I brewed this one exactly the same.

Last week I made 2 - 1 liter starters by adding 30 ml of the same WLp002 slurry to each flask. After fermentation completed, one starter flocculated very well just like you'd expect WLP002 to do. The other never flocculated and even after 24 hours of cold crashing still has not fully dropped...

I made a starter from a slant of Wy1007 and it clumped up and floculated just like WLP002. I don't remember it doing this before.

I dry hopped an APA a week ago yesterday and was going to keg yesterday but I forgot. Are there any issues with waiting another week?

Beersmith is telling me about 1 oz. Is this correct? Why would it take 4-5 oz. if I was bottling?

I recently got my pipeline to a point that I have time to prime my kegs and let them carbonate naturally. I have been using 4 ounces of table sugar and letting them sit for 2-3 weeks before refrigerating. I tapped the first one last night and it was way over carbed. This was a scottish ale...

I have 10 gallon of stout that's been in primary for 2 weeks. I'm going to add vanilla to 5 gallon and thought chocolate for the other 5 would be good. How would I do this?

I made a pear wine last weekend and mistakenly used a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon to measure the acid blend. How bad did I screw up?

I see all these grain buy threads but none close to my area. I'm feeling left out.

This will be my first IPA and I need to use the hops I already have. 11 gallon batch 20# 2 row 1# crystal 60 1# carapils Avaliable hops: magnum hallertau vanguard williamette perle cluster cascade fuggle target columbus glacier All suggestions are welcome.

Do any of you do this?
