I have recently made a batch of Java Stout, which I put to the 5 gallon mark on the bucket like always in the primary. The recipe calls for 48 0z of Coffee to be added to the secondary. So when I racked the secondary last night, I notices very little head space. The surface diameter of...

Randy_of_Neuron on City Profile. I am having trouble getting anyone to interact with me on there though :( Not a lot of people in my area.

Well, I know it isn't chlorine. All our water comes from a well in an extremely clean aquifer and then filtered. So it would have to be one of the others. In future I think I will do a starter in advance though I haven't had any issues until now. Loosing a batch of beer to me is like loosing...

I know that H2O2 doesn't affect the taste. It breaks down and I have used it for about a year or more (7-8 batches) The temperature has been between 70-74 degrees with California Ale White labs liquid yeast. It comes in a pitchable vial. Her is a link to it. White Labs Homebrew Yeast The...

I am making another batch of IPA. Anyhow. I use White Labs yeast and clean my equipment with EZ clean and sterilize with Hydrogen peroxide. I have had really great luck. Anyhow. I use a bottle jet to rinse the equipment with hot water. We live in the country, so there is no chlorine or any...

Okay, I looked at the EZ Clean, and it states EZ - Clean cleaner.....I can't find anything about sanitizer.....so I am assuming a cleaner. However the DVD, that I have from Midwest Brewing showing how to brew treat it like it is a sanitizer. For example they just take new bottle caps and dip...

Okay, Here is the info. Ingredients for this kit from MidWest Brewing : 6 pounds of Dark malt extract, Specialty grains (Flaked oats, Chocolate malt, Roasted Barley Malt) 1 ounce of hops, I used White Labs yeas Cleaning process - First I wash and rinse everything but without soap or...

I have only made a few batches of beer so I don't know much yet. This last one was an Oatmeal Stout. I put it in the primary for 1 week, secondary for 2 weeks, then bottle conditioned it for 3.5 going on 4 weeks. It is tasting a little better, but not much. It has a weird hard to describe...

Thanks dudes, I will be waiting. I really want this beer to turn out. I don't have kids, so this is the next best thing <snicker>

Thanks dudes. This is my first batch of beer. I was just going off what the video from Midwest says. In the video they say the beer is ready after a week, however they are doing a light colored beer. My fear was that I have heard of people waiting too long and the beer exploding. So I...

Hey everyone, I made some Irish Strout, and after a week it didn't carbonate. So I thought it was the temp. Put it at a warmer temp, still nothing. So can I get those Cooper carbonation drops and carbonate it anyhow. The catch is that the drops are for 12oz bottles, and I have 16oz...

Okay experts :) I have made my first batch of beer. It is Irish stout, I used liquid yeast, and put it in the primary for 10 days, then moved it to the secondary now for 10 days. Because I am newb I forgot to take the hydrometer reading at the start. Damn it. Anyhow It seems to have...

Okay, I'm making my first batch of beer with my kit (Irish Stout) I have got lots of advice on the airlock bubbling and time to secondary and all that. Anyhow, with my kit I have a fermentor bucket, and a glass Carboy for the secondary. So why the carboy for the secondary and the bucket for...

Thanks everyone, johnnybutt35: I am CEO of Neuron Games, Inc. As far as gaming and beer. There is nothing better than playing Carmagadon and drinking :)

Hey everyone, I am super new to this. Just got my first kick and have a batch of Irish Stout fermenting now. Now I choose to use WyEast (liquid) because I was told it was better. The first day it bubbled like crazy (after 8 hours) It as bubbling about once every second or faster. That was...

Hey everyone, Just thought I would drop a line and introduce myself. I am CEO of a game company, so most of the time I am programming. I needed a hobby that was.....well.....not so technical so I have started brewing beer. Not only does this help get me away from technical stuff, the end...
