There was a Krausen for about 3 or 4 days, but definitely not as big as I was expecting after reading results on the net from others that did this recipe. Yes, I calibrated it in water and I just checked. Rookie mistake, it's 1.012. Obviously it's been a while since I've done this :drunk: And...

So I decided to rekindle my homebrew hobby, and do up a pumpkin stout for a Halloween party. I've had great success in the past with the Brewhouse kit hacks, so I figured I would do an Irish Stout from the Munich Lager kit. - Munich lager kit - 12 oz roast barley - 8oz flaked barley - 1 oz...

It was a honey brown kit (pretty straight forward) where all you do is empty out the bladder into your primary, add water and the yeast, and let 'er ferment. I conditioned it for 2 weeks in the secondary after reading through the forums (seemed like a good thing to do). Everything was...

So it's been 10 days since bottling my honey lager, and I've been patiently waiting to chill one of these bad boys and test it, worried the whole time I screwed something up. I'm having a party tomorrow, everyone knows about the homebrew, and we're going to cook up 60lbs of salmon (from a...

hmmm wish I had read ths last week..... I just finished my first batch, and bottled last week. I used bleach tabs in the sink, which each bottle was left in for about 5 minutes, vigorously rinsed with the bleach water, and then rinsed with screaming hot tap water. I just cracked my first beer...

Okay, I'm going to go with the Irish moss to start. Maybe add the filter later. I am going to get a few kegs (the kind that soda comes in) and a CO2 regulator from the old man, but he was a little hesitant to give it to me without showing me the sterilization/hook up procedures in detail. I...

Yeah, I'm not too worried about losing a little flavour in order to get a little more clarity (fussy women will be consuming some of this....). What I AM worried about is screwing this up, losing all my yeast during filtration, and ending up with flat beer. I'm actually a little hesitant with...

What is "crashing"? So after reading through the posted threads (thanks for that!) I'm ssuming a 1 micron filter right before bottling my beer, along with a clearing agent should be what I'm looking for? Or is the filtering done at a different stage?

Hey guys/gals, I'm about to embark on my first homebrew, and I have a question about some of the equipment I was given. My dad was a novice homebrewer, and he passed on to me the following items: 1 large pail 2 carboys 48 flip top bottles (grolsch I do believe) specific gravity...
