This doesn't happen every time but i have noticed that sometimes my beers will taste different in a 12oz bottle then the exact same batch in a 22oz one. Typically it seems to be the bigger beers that tend to taste better and mature faster in a 12 then a 22. Yet the lower ABV ones taste better...

A co-worker of mine heard i was a homebrewer and gave me a bunch of bottles that he had left over from his homebrewing days. He quit the looser. Well one of the bottles was full, he didn't even realize that it was. He says he has no idea what it is and guesses it is probably about 2 or 3 years...

I made a batch of apfelwein and kept checking on it and everything seemed fine. On the 2nd morning i go into my brewing closet and the juice is gushing out of the airlock and down the sides of the carboy. There was even a little yeast cake in the bottom of the airlock. I pulled the airlock off...

I have learned this lesson before but obviously it didn't sink in enough for me to not do it again. Having a brew or two is ok but drunk, :drunk: not so good. On Thursday night i brewed and what is normally just a few hour process for me took several hours, ingredients were all over the...

Ok i need some help. I am fairly new to this (6 months) i have brewed and bottled only 10 batches and have only used pellet hops from my local homebrew store (The BeerNut). There i am able to know the exact type of hop and its percentages. But a guy i work with grows his own hops just as a hobby...

I just joined today and look forward to talking to other lovers of the craft. I am still fairly new to homebrewing (about 6 months) but i am already working on my 10th batch. I'm originally from Long Beach California but am now landlocked in the suburbs of Salt Lake. I have always loved GOOD...
