Ok, so I was really in the mood to brew a batch today and this happens. I typically warm up my malt extract in a pot of warm water, while it's in it's container, because it's easier to pour. Well, this new partial kit I bought has the malt in a plastic bag not a container. Long story short...

If there is not a flavor difference in your capped bottles and your flip-tops, I would say its a matter of science. A flip-top releases the pressure all at once and air is forced into the top of the bottle's neck, which make a big popping sound, but when opening a capped bottle, your releasing...

Yea, I left the lid loosely covering the bucket. Didn't think I was going to have much of a problem. Thanks guys.

I leave it in. The last 2 to 5 minutes of your boil you're adding aroma hops. It won't hurt anything to leave it in, but it may not give you the aroma you want. That's my two cents.

OK. I've seen many abbreviations thrown around on this site. I only know one and that's, "FTW" from my USMC days. So, what do they all mean?

I too have an electric stove. I'm new at this, but here's my two cents. Make sure you take the pot off the heated burner before adding your extract. In addition, do not place the pot on to a heated burner until the extract has dissolved. Place the pot on the burner and then turn on the...

1) Fill bottles with hot tap water. 2) Place in large cooler or plastic tub. 3) Add 1/2 wall paper remover. 4) Fill the container to the rim of the bottles with hot tap water and let soak for 10 minutes. 5) Most labels will peel off easily and others will come off when scrubbed with a...
