    Too early to rack?

    If its still fermenting, i'd leave it alone, give it a couple more days then decide.

    Beer from Horse Feed?

    Hi all, I was watching a video the other day on how to go about making moonshine and the fellow used horse feed (Onate Feed Co.) sweet feed. He cooked it with water for an hour then let it cool, strained it, added sugar and yeast then set it aside to ferment. Ten days later it had stopped...

    Beginner observation about PET bottles

    Here's my take on why beer tastes better in the glass than the PET: My contention is that the strength of the container used to condition the beer has a lot to do with the end result. The PET bottles will "give", in other words they will expand at the sides somewhat just the tiniest amount...

    PET Bombs?

    Hi All, Out of curiosity, has anyone ever had a 2 liter PET bottle explode on them? The reason I ask is this weekend I bottled my test batch of WCPA and bottled it after a week. It did not taste sweet but I wanted to see HOW it would compare with my other brews fermenting longer. The PET...

    Brewer's Prayer

    Thanks Fellas! I actually just finished brewing up a pale ale and I was wondering that I hope my supplies from LHBS get here by tuesday so I can bottle and just thought of it. I am sure it can be improved on by more clever minds than mine, but I thought it was kinda funny and so I posted...

    Reusing Active Yeast for another batch?

    Hello all, I currently have some Octoberfest beer brewing and was wondering when it is done, could I pour the wort for a Stout INTO the container that held the Octoberfest to use the yeast that's currently active in there? Or is it best to just start from scratch? I figured (and please...

    FG=1.025, done?

    According to your OG, I think you may wish to see if it gets down to about a 1.018. I arrived at that FG by dividing the numbers to the RIGHT of the decimal point in your OG by 4. .072/4=.018 which I have read is a good way to judge, give or take, as to when your brew has finished fermenting...

    First Beer Label!

    Actually the program did that but I believe it had to do with the font type that I used and the background that I had chosen, I didn't intentionally do it. I do like the overall effect though. Thank you and Cheers!!
