hi guys, this kettle is mainly used for boiling water. i wonder if i can use it for brewing? i usually use a gas stove with giant pot but this seems an easier option. let me know please. https://saachi.ae/product/40-litres-water-boiler-with-variable-temperature-control-nl-wb-7340-bk/

hi guys, i found in the market a normal water boiling kettle (its 8G in size!) its used mainly for boiling water via electricity. Can I use this to brew? aka i want it to boil the starting water and then i add the DME to it and what not. let me know. thx

hi guys, i believe home-brewing isn't the friendliest when it comes to back safety. lifting the 5G carboy or the pot can cause long term damages. and to be honest, I'm feeling it in my back. i bought this carboy carrier and i think its working fine for me. my issue is carrying the brewing pot...

hello, please excuse my very basic question. I've been making beer for few years now and a friend asked me to make rose. what's a good basic recipe i should follow? I have grape juice (white and red), sugar, and 2 different wine yeast (red star and lavlin ec-118 yeast). I also have some tannin...

hello there, after I did my last batch, I forgot to seal the bag that contained the DME. I believe it was left open for good 2-3 weeks until I discovered it. I quickly sealed it of course. Now I'm thinking of brewing again, I wonder if its still usable or not. Has any one gone through a...

i noticed my homemade beer gives me a weird hangover sometimes. so I got to think maybe there is something that i do while brewing that does this. I do your typical homebrews, (i.e. boil 6lbs of DME of pilsner for 60mins + 3G or so of water + 1 bag of hops added at min60) and then ferment it for...

Hi guys, usually I bottle my wine in plastic bottles, i usually consume them within a month so I'm not too concerned about longevity. Apparently the last wine batch I made was to gassy- I usually don't degas. I noticed the plastic bottles started bulging from the bottom and having a hard time...

Hello guys, I recently bottled a batch and it’s been carbonating for 3 weeks. When I tried it, it was undercarbonated. I went back to my notes and I realized I used half the sugar amount needed for carbonation per bottle. Can I fix this? Can I open all the bottles and add a bit more sugar and...

sorry if my question is basic as I’m still learning. I just carbonated this keg but now I have to leave home for a month due to work. Can I disconnect the CO2 tank from the keg or do I have to keep it connected throughout this time?

I just kegged today, two hours later i remember i didn't purge the keg out of oxygen. i went and i purged it right away. is my beer affected? the pressure was 25PSI at 70F. thanks

Greetings Folks, any website you recommend that ships internationally? thanks guys -Omazing

Hello guys, I normally brew 6lbs of DME with whatever hops I have. Usually I start with about a 4G of water and go from there. When I cool the wort down and rack it to the fermenter, I usually add about 0.3G of water to bring the wort to 5G before pitching the yeast. After checking so many...

hey guys, I've never made wine before. I do live in a dry country. with the help of a friend, I was able to get my hands on some wine yeast (Lalvin 71B-1122 Narbonne Wine Yeast 5G). At home, I have a fermenter, sanitzer, airlock, natural grape juice and sugar. that's all i have. Can I...

Quick background: I'm a rookie brewer. I live in a dry country so access to ingredients is difficult. out of the few DMEs/LMEs I tried. I think I like Briess Light Pilsen the best. What hops/yeast/specialty grain/years goes well with it? I'm limited to quantity of 1 of each (i.e. 1 type...

Hey guys, I'm a rookie brewer. I live in a dry country so access to ingredients is limited. I made this 5G batche and I don't know what type of beer it is. here are the details: 6 lb Briess Golden Light DME + 1lb Pilsen German grain + SafBrew T-58 yeast + Irish Moss +11oz hallertau...

I made a batch and it turned out to be very flat (either my priming sugar calculations were wrong or the bottle seals are leaking). I got new seals so that should solve the problem. However, the batch has been in the fridge for good 4 weeks now (i highly doubt any living yeast is in it now)...
