I've gone through dozens of Oxiclean threads on here and get hugely conflicting answers and almost everyone quotes the amount they use in in 'scoops' (as if that's some standard volume). My Oxiclean Free bucket I bought today (3.5 lbs) says 1/8 cup to 1/2 cup per gallon (too large a range for...

Hey I see a lot of recipes with the cinnamon in the recipe measured in tsp of ground cinnamon, I would like to make a beer with some cinnamon, but use sticks instead... anyone have any idea roughly how many sticks per tsp would be an equivalent amount?

So I figure that I currently drink about 3 beer a day on average... this works out to approximately 1100 bottles of beer a year... call me crazy, how much beer do you drink a year? Figure it out if you have 20 minutes to kill. I realize that this is not necessarily a great thing, nor am I...

hey I'm from Canada and just flew into palm springs last night for holidays, now i want beer... where do I go to get some good beer, especially beer that is not available in Canada... things I know i would like to try include dogfish head, sierra nevada, stone brewing... where are these sold...

I had to crack open my primary to add amylase enzymes, after 26 days from the start of fermentation (because I was sold some bad DME that apparently had WAY to many unfermentable sugars) and this appeared in it the next day. I siphoned it to an old plastic carboy after all that stuff appeared so...

About 2 months ago I ordered a bunch of DME (pale and amber), hops, US-05 yeast, and some grains for steeping from www.homebrew-supplies.ca/. I have used them to makes two batches, the first was an IPA which was 8.5 lbs pale DME, 5 oz amarillo hops, 0.75 lbs crystal 45 and safale us-05 yeast...

hey my recent batch of beer has that this white filmy layer on top of it like the many other pictures of infected batches around here, can i rack from underneath it and drink it if its not sour, will it go bad in bottles over time or get better... what have other people done when this happens...

I want to get a shipping quote for a USPS shipment to Canada although their website is only set up to ship USP. But it says to just add in the comment section you want USPS shipping, so do I then click the UPS shipping option and just comment that I was USPS shipping? But then if I do this, the...

i know lots of people who aren't (big?) fans of Guinness or any very dark beer claim that they are super heavy beer, and say things like "i can drink one but thats it, it fills me up" but i think people equate color with "heaviness" and i cant see how this is relevant at all. wouldnt the...

I just bottled a kit from the Brew House called winterfest ale and it had an OG of 1.046, on bottling day FG was 0.990 for an alc% of about 7.2%... i've never heard of anyone getting a FG below 1.000, have you? do you think it will be possible to taste the 'thinness'?

I've looked all over the place for a place to buy ingredients online that will ship to canada for a reasonable price. The US websites like morebeer.com have to charge insane shipping rates to ship to me and it would not even be worth it for me. Is anyone else from canada here who buys online? Im...

I have made 4 different kits out of a can with the syrup-like extract, all of different brands (Morgans Yukon Smoked Brown Ale, Muntons Anniversary Ale, Black Rock Bitter, & Coopers Dark Ale) and while they all taste different, they all have a very similar background taste that is clear in all...

at my local home brewing supply stores they all recommend that i use a primary with no airlock and just put the lid on top and let it ferment for the first 4-7 days in there and then transfer it to the carboy. but lots of places i read say to have a primary with a hole in the lid and put the...
