Hello people, I am necromancing this post in order to show off my first craft as I promised. See the picture below. Now few words about it; It exploded right in my face perhaps because of the fact that I was able to drink it after four weeks of bottling and four weeks of fermenting. Thus...

Is there a good way to get rid of the trub during bottling? Strainer falls short for this I assume.

Hello guys, Im sorry for not replying sooner, I was a bit preoccupied. My beer stayed in the fermenter for almost 4 weeks and got bottled lately. The beer tastes fine, I did get a sample during bottling. It tastes allright except a bit too mild perhaps. During bottling I let lots of residue to...

Allright, thanks for the information cannman! I'll seek out the washing procedure.

I will siphon it out using the blow off tube and the clamp.

I believe you guys are right. Perhaps I need a strainer with finer mesh. Also I like the idea of free yeast but dont know how to preserve them until my next brew day? Can someone guide me to somewhere with the related information? Or perhaps if not complicated, explain it in few words? Thanks!

Greetings, I wasn't sure whether to post this in Beginner's Forum but since its mostly about the yeast, there it goes. It's been almost two weeks in the fermenter and at the bottom of the fermenter there seems to be a high amount of yeast accumulation when compared with what I see on the...

Wish we could all do that :D I checked this morning and the little moon colony was still there, unchanged. I am sorry I newb'd out! Now I wait silently |-__-| For I am the brewer the yeast deserves but not the one it needs right now..

If thats the case I will show those single celled bastardos what it means to try and pull prison break on my brew! Get back there and make me beer! Hope you guys are right though, I will see to it in the morning and update the post so others can know if sorts is an infection or just yeast...

Greetings, Its the 2nd night of my first batch ever and tonight, as I was replacing the blow off tube with the airlock, I noticed these white dots that werent there before. They are high up on the fermenter and I wiped it a little when I was replacing the tube then I stopped, afraid to infect...

Hello Thanks for your valuable answers everyone. I am relieved to hear what you all said. I moved the wort to the fermenter at around 90 F (which it seems was early and maybe sped up the fermentation process that I never witnessed) and put it in a cellar where almost no light gets in. For the...

Greetings This is my first post on the forums as it is my first time home brewing so hello all, nice to meet you. My girlfriend got me Brooklyn Brew Shop kit on my birthday and we got to work on it around 8 pm yesterday. Around 12 i lidded the fermenter, set up the blow off tube and lef...
