    It's alive... again! Que pasa?

    I echo yooper on that it is a rly active fermentation. I would think that during the first 24h the yeast collapsed on itself. However, everything was not lost as the few survivors from that catastrophic global warming procreated until they could take over that left out sugar for good. This is...

    Under Carbonation

    I agree with Gavin C on the bottling bucket. Having that said, in my personal experience, I leave bottles carbonating at 20C for 2 weeks and they seem ready. I noticed that after 3 weeks they are better tasting, but 2 weeks is good enough for the carbing part. I would imagine that at 17C, it...

    For all those who don't own wort chillers

    In my experience, I started with pool banks. I would start making ice every day from fermentation day (for the next brew) until I had about 2 supermarket bags worth of ice cubes. After getting the ice, I would have my old garbage can (that I had sitting with bleach for a few days) and make my...

    Totaly Newbie

    IMO, just google and look for homebrew suppliers close to where you live. If you cannot find anything in there, let us know the city you live in and more then one member of tge community will suggest you an LHBS. As for learning the basics, I started with John Palmers book (...

    How long did it take you to go all-grain?

    It took me abou 8 extract brews to go to AG. I still have some DME and I think I will still brew extract during winter or when I do not have much time. Still, I really enjoy the milling and mashing process Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Towel to lower fermentation temp

    Hello community, I have around 8 brews under my belt and I am pretty happy with the results so far. I have read several times that temp control is one of the most important factors to great beer. Having said that, i did a new batch last saturday and i know that during the first days of...

    4th homebrew carboy pic

    Unfortunately I do not have more pics. The first pic is about 5 mins after pitching the yeast and also this is the first time i use irish moss (?). The second pic is 12h later. I am pretty sure it will turn out ok, but I wondered why it had that look at the beginning Sent from my iPhone using...

    Time to bottle carb a big beer?

    This is just a guess, but when I bottled my first homebrew, I had troubles placing the caps on the bottles. I had heiniken bottles and the cheapest bottle capper i found. As a result, I ended up with bottles slightly open and without gas after 2 weeks (while others were ok). It might not be...
