Lol. Several, several Ferocious bombers amongst others are telling me to worry about it tomorrow. I think I will.

I'm kinda anal about rinsing bottles of homebrew out after finishing right away. I got pretty buttered up and they are piling up and I'm not rinsing them immediately. Ever been there? Don't judge, it's a simple yes or no question. Haha.

I appreciate the advice. I'll go ahead and roll with it. Hopefully it won't turn out stupid carbonated.

I brewed Midwest's Ferocious IPA extract kit, and when bottling I used the 5 oz of priming sugar per the directions. I'm slightly concerned because with all the hop sludge and yeast I only got a little less than four gallons of beer. Should I be concerned about bottle bombs? Beer has been...

I'm brand new to home brewing and I have not made a yeast starter yet. The Grand Cru kit came with some DME. Can I rob some of what came with the kit to make a starter? I don't have any extra, just what came with the kit. If I do rob some to make a starter will it change the...

Picked up a four pack of 12 oz cans of this stuff. This is the first sour beer I've tried. Took about four or five sips and poured it. All I got was vinegar and bread. Vinegar was way overpowering for me. I'll probably end up marinating chops with the other three cans. I love all...

This is my first attempt at home brewing. I've got a honey porter extract kit from Midwest in the primary. Its been in a week today. Took a hydrometer reading today and it was roughly 1.018. SG was 1.055. The brew tasted thin, watery, and highly alcoholic. It was slightly carbonated...
