I purchased a small container of StarSan about a year ago. I haven't brewed in a while and was wondering how long it will keep unmixed. Thanks!

I am participating in a local brewery's first "Wort Transformation" where they provide the wort and we take it home and add what we want. I was thinking of just some dry hopping to try and make a tasty IPA, but I would also like to know what some you might add to make it more interesting. That...

So, I bottled my Blue Moon clone last night and I hope I did not screw it up too bad. The orange peel kept clogging up the siphon and the bottling wand causing bubbles in the hose and I am afraid that I got too much sediment in to the bottling bucket (I accidentally let the siphon hit the trub...

I brewed up a clone of Blue Moon a little over two weeks ago (with orange peel and coriander). I did not filter out the peel or the coriander, it all went straight into the fermenting bucket. I have tested the FG and it has been stable for the last 3 days. Should I leave it in the bucket for...

I have a couple of Brewers Best kits that have been stored in a garage for the past six months. Will these still be good? Temps probably got to the upper 80s to 90s in the garage during the summer. I know I need to replace the yeast but will the sugar and hops still be usable? Thanks!

Hello all! I just brewed my first batch this past Sunday and I have a question regarding the 5 gallon carboy that I have. After going through many posts on this site, it sounds as if I don't want/need to transfer from the plastic primary the brew is in now to the carboy. So I am wondering, is...
