    so much has gone wrong its almost comical

    I think I've made every mistake a first time brewer could make. At this point I'm just laughing it off. 1. As soon as I added the bittering hops to my wort, I looked away to rehydrate my yeast. When I looked back, I had a boil over. I'm not really sure if there are any hops in my beer now...

    Careers in brewing

    Does anyone here work in the brewing industry? How do you like it as opposed to making it as a hobby? How does one go about getting into the brewing industry? I would assume home brewing would be a good start.

    Ancient brewing techniques

    I'm taking a course in Ancient Egypt and my ears perked up when I heard that Ancient Egyptians brewed beer. I've always known humans have been making alcoholic drinks for thousands of years, but you have to wonder what techniques they employed. For one thing, I don't think they had Starsan...

    Aluminum pots

    Is it okay to use aluminum over stainless steel. I don't care about being fancy, I just don't want anything bad to happen.

    Boiled off most of my wort. i need more common sense.

    for future reference, how should I be adjusting my boiling time when I want to be making these 1 gallon test batches. for this recipe I was supposed to boil unhopped malt extract for 1 hour. 15 minutes into the boil i added bittering hops. 15 minutes before the boil ended I added finishing...

    i added 3 16 ounce water bottles. i would say about .93 of a gallon i purchased a hydrometer, but it is misplaced at the moment.

    Boiled off most of my wort. i need more common sense.

    This is my first time brewing beer. I pretty much screwed up. I was attempting to make Cincinnati Pale Ale from John Palmer's guide: How to Brew. I followed the directions to the best of my ability. However, I sized the batch from 5 gallons to 1 gallon (I just wanted to start small before...
