I have some leftover pure apple juice (unpasteurized, lightly filtered) and I want to try making an ale out of some of it. Not hard cider with a bit of malt, but actually an apple beer, with hops and ale yeast and all. beercalculus.com doesn't have an entry for apple juice so I'm not quite...

Sweet! I'll be getting my hands on some more apple juice soon from a local farm. It's unpasteurized and freshly squeezed. Here are the batches I did previously: 6 gallons unpasteurized AJ + 1.2kg dextrose using Lalvin 1116 6 gallons unpasteurized AJ + 1.2kg dextrose using Lalvin 1118...

I have a carbonation question/issue. In my short career, I've done some 2 dozen LME batches that are custom recipes of my LHBS with 100% success regarding carbonation. I've recently moved to partial mash (thanks Deathbrewer!). Although the taste is great, most are almost totally flat. Not...

The local LHBS's beer kits make 6 gallon batches, so I always make that format. I ferment in a 30L (~8 gallons) bucket, and then rack into a 6 gallon carboy. This works very well for me, as I don't have to worry about jammed up airlocks etc, and it leaves relatively little headspace in the...

Totally new to this hobby... so go easy on me :) I listened to the 2007-03-29 broadcast of homebrew radio with great interest. I know star san and others are highly recommended around here, but I cannot find it locally it seems. If I can just use cheap common bleach then that's fine with me...

Hey guys&gals I'm a pretty avid beer but only recently decided to take the big plunge into homebrewing. I'm totally absorbed by it and having lots of fun... I've read hottobrew.com twice from end to end even while my first batch is still in primary :) Anyone from Montreal that can...
