    3-1/2 Month Old Malt?

    I have some crushed malt that has been sitting around for 3-1/2 months after crushing. It has been at room temp. in a twisty-tied plastic bag. Would it still be ok to use? I also have some Czech Saaz hops that has been sitting in the fridge for the same period. What about that? Thanks...

    Will aeration after primary hurt the beer?

    If I strain through a grain bag when racking from primary to secondary, that will aerate the beer quite a bit. Would oxidation be a problem here? If not, when does oxidation become a problem? I would be doing this to a Belgian ale in the near future. Hucko

    One year old malt still good?

    I have 4 oz. of Munich malt (crushed) left over from a batch of Hefe-Weizen I brewed about a year ago. It has been sitting in a kitchen cabinet in a little plastic bag, closed with a twisty tie since then. Any opinions on whether it is ok to use? It doesn't look moldy or anything and still...

    When to rack to secondary?

    This is my first brew - a hefe-weizen - and I boiled it up Sunday before last. After the boil I stupidly poured the wort, trub, and all right into my primary fermenter. I now know I should have left as much of the trub as possible in the kettle, but didn't. So now it's been fermenting for...

    Secondary Fermenter for Hefe-Weizen?

    I've started a batch of Paulaner-style Hefe-Weizen similar to the one on the recipes page. I pitched Sunday evening and after a slow start, much to my delight the fermentation has finally started taking off well after three days. My question is, when fermentation is complete, does it really...

    Bleach Solution Slipped Into Wort!!

    Hello All... This is my first post on the forum and I hope it's not too silly, but I had some of my bleach solution slip out of my airlock and into my wort. I use 2 tablespoons of plain Clorox bleach per gallon of water as a sanitizing solution which I also use in my airlock. What I did...
