About a week ago, I week to my LHBS. Bought a bunch of stuff and put it in my cabinet. This morning I opened up my cabinet just to verify I had everything to brew later today and realized that I accidentally left my hops (pellet) in the cabinet rather than the fridge. Should I be okay to use...

I bottled my first brew on Saturday, cracked one open this morning to try it out and I love it. I know that it'll taste like a totally different beer in a few weeks, but right now it tastes very similar to a blue moon, which is what I was going for. On the back end, there's a slight almond-y...

TO go from my primary to my bottling bucket, what would you reccommend? I was just going to siphon it into my bottling bucket (with priming sugar solution already in it), however I've seen a couple of threads where people have talked about just dumping their primary into their bottling bucket...

I know this is a noob question, but a lot of recipes that I have read are a little confusing, specifically regarding time. For example, if a recipe says: Boiling Time (Minutes): 60 and then later it will say something like: Steeping Grains (25min) and then Hops: 1.0 oz...

I'm going to be making my first beer on Saturday -- a Hefe. I'm going with extract on this brew. I'll post the recipe I've concocted and see what you guys think about changing it. Recipe type: Extract Yeast: Wyeast 3333 OR White Labs WLP3333 Yeast Starter: No Batch Size (Gallons): 5 Original...
