I know this has nothing to do with making beer or wine, but it has to do with home brewing and yeast. Can drinking batches that taste very yeasty and not fully fermented cause candidiasis infection?

I am still fairly new to homebrewing. I had hard cider fermenting for about 1 week and 2 days, which I know isn't long for fermenting. However, I thought I could just drink it now, so I strained it out a bit, got all the particals out, and it seemed good enough, so I put it in a new bottle, and...

I am sort of new to homebrewing, and I don't know all there is to know about it. So I have a batch brewing right now, and someone I know smoked in the same room that it was sitting in, even after I told them not to.... will this affect the brew or anything?

I am sort of new to home brewing. I started maybe a month ago. I've done this before though, and the wine tasted fine. Here's what I did though, after 1 week, when primary fermentation was over, I strained the wine about 6 times. I strained it through a washcloth over a tin bowl with holes...

About 3 days ago I started some hard cider, used dark brown sugar, 1 pack of dry baker's yeast, and about a handful of boiled raisins as a nutrient for the yeast. I had it sitting for about 4 hours, and fermentation was insane. I didn't use an airlock, I just had a cap screwed on the bottle a...

So I am fairly new to brewing. In this hard cider batch, I added about 2 cups normal sugar, than, aiming for a higher alcohol content, I intended to put a 3rd cup. However, I am out of white cane sugar, so I used dark brown for the last cup. On the box it says "100% cane sugar", though it is...

I had some wine fermenting for about 9 days, and tonight I ckecked the airlock to see if it worked and bubbled right. So I kinda sqeezed the bottle I am fermenting in and some of the water went through part of the airlock and dripped into the juice... Will my brew be fine? Will anything be...

Okay, I have started home brewing around 2 weeks ago, so I don't know a whole lot about it. So do you need a stopper for an airlock for it to work? I ask this, because I've seen airlocks being used with stoppers before. Here's the thing, when I ordered my airlock online, I did not get a...

Okay, so I made a brew with grape juice, put a condom over it for the airlock (it is lubricated D:), and poked a good bit, maybe 6-7 holes in the top. Now a couple of the holes are sort of big, a little bit larger than a pen poke, but no larger than a tiny crumb. Is that too much for the oxygen...
