I used the honey out of the bear. It worked just fine

So my friend recently brewed a Belgian whit beer and the beers in the 24 oz bombers tasted great. But the beers in the 12 oz bottles had a metallic taste. Is that cause the beer possibly laid against the cap in conditioning or a lack of sanitation when cleaning the bottles that produced an...

Hoping it clears up well. Not as red as I had hoped for. Hydrometer sample taste good as far as I know. Thinking I will do 3 weeks primary. Rack into secondary and possibly add gelatin. Gotta research how it will affect the beer. And after a week or two in primary it will go to bottling. I think...

O nice man. I was originally thinking of trying to attempt making my own recipe this time but quickly figured out I should try to make this pretty simple as it was only my second batch. Doing this without a recipe and just the ingredients was interesting enough for this time. I do love red ales...

No I dumped my extract right before i started my 60 min boil. The container said Pilsen not pilsner. Is there not a difference?

Hey man I appreciate it. That's pretty much what I was looking for. And my og was 1.61 then added 1.25 gallons of water to the wort to get 5 gallons which dropped down the gravity to 1.51 so I'm feelin pretty confident things are gonna work out. Focusing on clarity now.

No big. Just shows your atleast trying to help. This is only my second brew and I have nothing to go by as far as a recipe im just relying on the wealth of knowledge I've absorbed in the past 3 months(and your help aswell) it came out with a pretty color I didn't expect. I'll post pics later...

Great topic

So the question I have about this is for cleaning my cardboy. Are u suppose to let the solution sit for hours or days? Or will a few minutes and a good scrubbing with the solution do it? I scrubbed and rinsed my cardboy the day I transferred to the bottling bucket with just water but I want a...

To be honest I started to home brew to hide my alcohol addiction. So far so good. :drunk:

When ur sad after going to the aquarium with swmbo and child because u have no money left to buy ingredients

Haha. It would have been a very sad day when y'all realized y'all had been fermenting pure wort for x amount of days. Nothing to do then but pitch the yeast and get smashed all over again

Yeah that's what I Said about the infection and I thought it might take some yeast cells with it aswell. I think he will just wait as it's the first batch and just needs to get his feet wet. No competitions on this batch. I was just curious for future reference if it was a big no no to check...

So a friend of mine finished brewing his first batch. I aske what the og was and he Said he forgot to check it. He has already pitched the yeast. Is it too late to still check it? He pitched maybe 2 hours ago. I told him to leave it in fear it might mess withe the yeast. So I'm checking back to...

No the picture is sideways I had to steal it from a friends Facebook page

Yea that's why I decided to use my dishwasher as well. The press n seal is a great idea though. I might try that.

Ended up being a fun wild day. Can't wait to do it again. Ended up doing two cycles in the dishwasher. And rinsed the inside out with a jet nozzle. Then filling with sanitized and letting it dry. Biggest lesson learned was don't let drunk people anywhere around ur unfinished beer or supplies...
