I was wondering if those big 5 gallon water bottles could be used for fermentation instead of a glass carboy. If they could, I would just buy those and use the water for the beer and then save the bottles for extra carboys. The only thing I am wondering is if they get scratched easily inside...

Does anyone know of any good strawberry beer recipes?

I made a Stout beef stew today. I took about 7 bottles of my own irish stout, some beef, carrots, potatoes, celery, and some herbs. Let that stew for a few hours and .....BAM......that's one tasty stew. I tried that same recipe with Guiness once and that was really good but mine had a...

I want to make a lager because that is the type of beer that I really enjoy. The problem is that every book i've read (and its been several) it says that they have to be fermented at 50 degrees F or so. I was wondering if that is absolutely neccessary or if they can be made at around 68...

I was wondering if anyone has seen or maybe have a good plan for making a kegerator out of either a minifridge or a chest freezer. I am looking to make one but not sure what the best way to go about doing it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am new to this hobby and started with an Irish Stout. I just tasted it today after a few weeks in the bottle and it is great! Homebrewed beer is awesome! Can't wait to make some more. I have a pumpkin ale going now. Man I hope that comes out as good as the stout did. Woohoo for...

I just started brewing and made 2 batches which have come out pretty good for my first ones. But I have wanted to make a chocolate strawberry beer but can't find any recipes in any of the 3 books that I have. If anyone has one let me know. Thanks :D

I started a Pumpkin Ale the other day. It was going strong and I could visibly see bubbles going through the airlock. But all of a sudden it stopped. I don't think it should be done though but it is the first time I tried using ale yeast. The initial hydrometer reading was 1.049 so it can't...
