I am attempting to brew my 2nd all grain batch of beer. Currently, I am in the primary fermentation phase. However, fermentation seems to have stalled. To be more exact: Batch Size: 5 gallons Total Grain: 10.38 pounds Original Gravity: 1.060 Efficiency: 79% Boil Time: 75 Minutes Yeast Strain...

Yesterday, a friend and I brewed our first 5.5 gallon, all grain batch of beer. We were pretty sloppy about it, being that it was our first time, and we had a few missteps. 1.) We had a hard time crushing the grains. We ended up with 10 LBS of malt, but didn't have access to a grain mill. We...

If I added a bit too much water to my yeast starter, will it still ferment okay? Should I be worried?

This upcoming weekend, I will be attempting to brew a 5 gallon batch of beer using the all grain method (for the first time) with a friend. We successfully built a mash tun (picture included), bought our grains, hops, and yeast, but I have a few questions regarding the production of the wort...

I've now brewed 2 batches of extract beer. The first being an Amber Ale, and the second being a Liberty Cream Ale. I purchased both kits from Midwest Supplies. As far as I know, I followed all steps as closely as I could have. The beer isn't terrible, but I just feel like it's lacking...

I made a Yeast Starter using WLP080 from White Labs, let it sit overnight in my dark basement, then checked on it the next day. There didn't appear to much caking on top. I didn't shake it up before I pitched it into my beer, and didn't notice all the excess yeast on the bottom of the growler...

I'm brewing Liberty Cream Ale from Midwest Supplies. The kit comes with 1 oz. Cascade bittering hops, as well as 1 oz. Cascade aroma hops. However, I'm interested in using different hops than what came with the kit. I've read a lot about people using Saaz hops in their cream ale with great...

I recently bought the Liberty Cream Ale kit from Midwest Supplies. I'm eager to brew it, however, I DO NOT have means to lager. I will most likely be fermenting at around 70 degrees using a Yeast Starter of either WLP001 or WL1056 Yeast. I will be applying a secondary fermentation, also. 1.)...
