Ok, I think I may have F'd up. I sanitized my kegs with about 32 oz of One Step and shook them up. I dump them out right before filling them with beer but I may have forgotten to do that this time. My question is whether or not to dump this batch. Is about 32 oz of one step solution enough...

Back to brewing after a long summer off and I failed to remember we only have one 2L flask to build a starter. I'm wondering if there's a chance I could just make one big, stepped starter (built based on yeastcalc.com) and pitch that into an 11 gallon batch of 1.059 stout split into two carboys...

I'm looking to pitch a Wyeast pack that's about six months old into a 1.048 brew. Using Yeastcalc.com with Troester's stir plate method, it says if I make a 1.5L starter that it should bring the cell count up to 260 billion. I'm thinking about stepping it one time just to make sure there is...

I'm looking to have our water tested and found this place online. They seem to be pretty inexpensive. Has anyone used them before?

We brewed a Rye IPA which is now in primary. It's been two weeks and we were due to rack it into secondary today. Only thing is that the airlock is still bubbling about every 45 seconds. I'm thinking about giving it another week on the yeast to allow things to finish and clean up a little. It...

Made a 1L starter (which ended up turning out to be 750ml) yesterday and it's now sitting in the fridge. I'm wondering if I should step it up to 1.5L tonight for tomorrow's brew that will be about 1.070 OG. If so, does the starter from the fridge need to be up to room temp or can I just boil...

Ok, noob homebrewer here. I'm carbing a keg of Nut Brown (it's been on CO2 for a couple weeks now) and something is weird. After the pour, it has a decent head and there are bubbles on the sides of the glass but when you have a drink, it is very flat. Am I doing something wrong?

Just racked our first AG batch (actually, our first brew ever) into secondary. We split a ten gallon batch with an OG of 1.060 into two carboys. In one, we pitched rehydrated Nottingham and in the other, WLP005 (no starter). After 7 days in primary, the Nottingham (which had a super vigorous...

I've got our Nut Brown in primary in 6 gallon glass carboys with airlocks. This is our first brew ever and was wondering if I should cover them up. The room they are in gets a fair amount of natural light but I made sure to not put them in direct sun. I wasn't sure if I should be worried about...

Should I have a full water test done on my water or could I get away with test strips just to see if I'm in the right range? We are just starting to brew and are trying to make sure all of our ducks are in a row... or as many as possible at least. Thanks in advance.

Is there any disadvantage to bagging pellet hops in the boil?

We're getting set up for AG and were wondering if people prefer 2-roller or 3-roller mills. Is the 3-roller worth the higher price?

Hi all. I've seen a post on this before but can't find it for the life of me. Could someone tell me the instances where one blend would be better than the other? We're setting up a kegerator to dispense from 1/6bbl kegs. We'll be carbing with CO2 and pushing with Draft Blend (beer gas) through a...
