    small batch priming question

    Hello all, I recently bottled an IPA (it smells great btw), and as I was transferring from primary to the bottling bucket, I knocked the hose against the bottom and stirred up a ton of crap. The last time I did this, I kept going and it was a pretty crummy batch. That could have been due to...

    Inverse Sugar to Honey conversion

    Hi all, I have a recipe that calls for 1/3 lb of Invert Sugar. The guy at my LHBS suggested using honey instead. Should I use 1/3 lb or a different amount? Thank you for any help you can provide.:mug:

    broke capper - need advice

    So like a ******* n00b I broke the capper halfway through bottling my first batch. The LHBS opens at 11 tomorrow. Of course, the priming sugar has already been added. So what do I do? Toss it? Cover it and put the airlock back in? Any suggestions are appreciated. :confused:

    N00B Questions

    Hello All, I just brewed my first batch of beer (english brown ale) which is bubbling in primary, but I had a couple of questions. I felt okay at first, but I'm getting a little paranoid after exploring a few of these threads. 1) My apartment doesn't seem to get much cooler than 73F...
