So I saw at my liqour store yesterday these 64 oz Rogue Dead Guy Ale Growlers. They were painted jugs, looking fancy, for $11 each. They are capped with a white twist-off cap that looks like one from a cider bottle. I was thinking this might be a cool addition for bottling, but I didn't know...

Going there for a week long visit. They are full of breweries, so I won't have time to hit them all. Any recommended??

I've got some brown, flakey floaters at the top of my hex nut brown ale. They seem harmless enough and the beer smells fine. Should I skim them off the top or just try to carefully avoid them when I transfer to my secondary? It's been awhile but I've had them before and I tried to skim them but...

Does anyone know the exact ingredients of the extract kit? Thank you. (Did a search, didn't find it)

Anyone have a clone recipe for this? It's my favorite "Christmas ale". Want to make my winter brews earlier this year so I can start drinking them in late fall. Thanks!

Using amber or gold LME instead of light....should mainly be a color difference, not flavor, correct? Thanks.

So I decided to finally buy one, but am too stupid to use it. Had to keep pumping down on the racking cane to keep a flow. Got sediment in my secondary and left some good stuff in the primary. Wound up with foaming cider, which is probably oxidized now. How does this stupid thing work?

I made my choc caramel capp porter 2 1/2 wks ago with a packet of Safale US-56 yeast that I rehydrated first. I got about 3 days of active airlock activity, then it slowed down, but I wanted it to sit in the primary for 2 full weeks before bottling. I kept it at a very consistent temp the...

I am going to make Cheesefood's boom boom vanilla ale (version 2). I will be using LME instead of DME. I am looking for suggestions for a dry yeast for this recipe. Thanks.

Need help with the hops. 6 # dark malt extract, 1/2 # crystal malt, 1/2 # choc malt, 1/4 # black patent malt, 1/2 cup choc caramel coffee grounds, 1/2 # lactose, 1 oz bittering hops, 1 oz aroma hops, american ale yeast.

So I did a search on this topic, but I did not see many people discussing actually using the green Grolsch bottles for homebrewing, but rather how skunky the store bought green bottles can be... My friend gave me some green Grolsch bottles and I'm wondering if they are worth using. I hate...

I want to prime with maple syrup, and I was wondering... do I need to use the same type syrup I brewed with (100% pure, preservative-free maple syrup) or can I use the regular syrup that one would use on pancakes? I am assuming the former, but am wondering if anyone has used the run of the mill...

How long can I let my beer sit in a covered bucket once it is primed before risking infection or some other problem?

So I made a pumpkin ale that I intended to keep in the primary for 2 weeks to allow plenty of settling. (I do not have a secondary to use at this time). I had a fast and vigorous fermentation of about 24-36 hours and have not heard a peep from my airlock since. (The temps were/are fine). Now...

I have got foam pushing up against my lid and tons of airlock activity. How do I avoid an explosion and what do I do if it happens? I am afraid to leave the house!

Got 4 gallons of Mr. Beer cider going in my primary. Added two cans of Mr. Beer cider, 6 cups of sugar (5 table & 1 brown) and whatever yeast they provided. Followed directions exactly. Took about 24 hours for it to really get going, but it's been 12 days since I pitched and it's still pretty...

So I have been using the Cooper's drops in my 750 ml (24.67 oz) PET Bottles and they work great. Now I am wondering how they will be using 2 drops in a 22 oz glass bottle. Has anyone tried them in these and how was your carb level? I am worried about bottle bombs with less volume. Thanks!

I am going to make a lager with a can of the oregon fruit puree, which does have some sugar in it (obviously). Should I decrease the amount of dextrose/brewing sugar I add to my brew? Thanks!:fro:

I was wondering how small a batch of cider/beer I can brew in my primary? It's a 6.6 gal bucket and I usually brew 5-6 gal. I am interesting in trying cider or some flavored beer, but don't know if I want 5 gal at a time. I am worried if I do something too small it won't ferment properly and...

Anyone try this? I really love mexican beer in the summer, and thought I might give one a try. Any suggestions or opinions about this particular kit? Thanks!
