I have a Munton's Dockland Porter kit. There are 2 cans of hopped LME and 1 packet of yeast (not sure what kind). The instructions tell me to pour 2 gallons of boiling water into the fermenter, stir in the LME, then top off for a total of 5 gallons. After it cools, sprinkle on the yeast. I...

I tasted a Wee Heavy for the first time yesterday. Pure bliss! Does anyone have a recipe for one? I searched the site but didn't turn up anything.

I was curious what you folks thought was the best DME brand. My LHBS only carries Breiss. They carry a few brands of LME, but only Breiss for a DME.

My current batch is a wheat beer. An Oberon clone to be precise. I used 6 lbs. of 60% wheat, 40% barley DME. I've been told that wheat malt doesn't have much in the way of usable sugars. Is that 40% barley enough to ferment a good beer, or should I have added honey or some other such sugar...

I brewed my first batch with liquid yeast last night. White Labs London Ale, 35 ml. I had kept it refrigerated until I started brewing the wort, about 6:30 PM. It took an unbelievable amount of time for the wort to cool down enough to pitch. I finished the boil at about 7:30 PM, but it...

I have a question I think I know the answer to, but have to ask. I brewed a batch of an Oberon clone. Being fairly new I did not realize that wheat DME does not have a lot of fermentable sugar. Still ended up at 3.85%. The problem is that I forgot to add bottling sugar when I bottled it. 4...

Got a newbie query: Does using liquid yeast result in fewer stalled fermentations? The last batch I brewed stalled and used dry yeast. Are there any types that are less likely to stall? Educate me, oh Uber Brewers!

I would really love if someone had a recipe for a clone of Alexander Keith's IPA My Canadian friends should be familiar with this Nova Scotian jewel. It's very, very nice!

Does anyone have a recipe for an Oberon clone? If you've never had it you're missing out on something special. It's a citrusy wheat beer that is by far the best beer I've ever had on draft. It's made by Bell's Brewry in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Is there anyone who knows of something I can use for a sanitizer from ingredients found at home? Besides bleach, that is. Is there a way I can make it? I don't have any right now and I'm uncomfortable using bleach because it doesn't rinse all that well.

I started fermenting a batch last Monday (11/28/05). Within an hour I was getting some bubbles in the airlock. From Tuesday through Thursday it was bubbling away enthusisatically. By Friday the bubbles had slowed to a crawl and now there are none. Is it possible that fermentation could be...

Hey! This is my first post. Looking forward to some good discussion and learning a lot. I have a questions regarding priming sugar. I just started a batch in fermentation. I used 1 can of Amber malt extract syrup and 3 pounds of Amber extract powder. Obviously that yielded a lot of...
