recently brewed the brewers best kit for imperial pale ale. added 3/4 pound of light spray malt in addition to the 3 pounds that was already included. the original gravity was still the same as what it should have been. should this addition have affected the o.g.? what generally should you...

I've done a few extract batches from kits and other people's recipes. I really want to come up with something on my own. There is so much info that I don't really know where to start. I want to make a coffee oatmeal stout. So how did everyone get started?

this is my fourth beer and my others turned out fine. its a brewers best german altbier kit. i brewed on a saturday. i spilled about 80% of my yeast. i pitched the little bit i had but had to wait till monday to buy another packet, which i added. it spent one week in primary and two weeks...

i got this kit for xmas. may make it this weekend. it came with a nottingham dry yeast. would it be better to go with a liquid yeast? also, it says this is a "great beer to ferment cool and cold condition." this is only my fourth batch. would this be worth the extra effort you think?

im going to nags head this weekend. it looks like they have two nearby brewpubs, outer banks brewing station and weeping radish. has anyone been to either of these? would you recommend one over the other, not just for beer but food as well? thanks

im looking to make my fourth beer but cant decide on a recipe or a style. the only book i have is papazians joy of home brewing, third edition. are these recipes too outdated to use? im looking for an extract or partial recipe. if anyone still uses his recipes, what are your favorites?

i just bottled my third batch, a brewers best european bock kit. the first thing i noticed when i took the lid off the fermenter was "flakes" floating on top of the beer. my first two beers didnt have this. was this just part of the krausen? it seemed normal in every other way. i boiled...

okay, so sometimes your beer starts fermenting within hours of adding yeast. other times, it could take three days or more. my question, is there any downside to a very slow fermentation other than the waiting? will it have any negative or noticeable effects on the finished product?

well my beer has been in the fermenter bucket for about 70 hours. i have not seen any bubbles in the airlock. i know that doesnt necessarily mean that it isnt fermenting but im still nervous. this is my third beer and first time using dry yeast which is what im nervous about. when you...

well i have a ceramic flat-top stove. the pot i bought is ceramic covered steel i think. when i bought the pot i noticed the sticker said not to be used with ceramic cooktops. i looked at the manual for my stove and it didnt mention anything like this. ive already cooked two worts on the...

i just bought some starsan and was reading the label. it says harmful if swallowed and to allow to dry. if you let your bottles sit there and dry couldnt they get contaminated? would it be ok to just dump out the starsan and immediately fill the bottle with beer? just wondering how others...

i just made my second brew. its an extract and it just went in the secondary today, a chocolate porter. well it only measured out to about 4 1/4 gallons and it should be five. my question is: should i adjust the amount of sugar when i go to bottle or add the full amount? thanks
