    Probable infection... :(

    Seems to have been a rough fall here for brewing. Brewed up a coopers real ale over a month ago, and wound up having to do it with a modified "no chill" method because my ice water had melted. So, I put my bucket in the kegger for about 24 hours, and then pitched the yeast. I'm pretty...

    Advice on my first (literal) blow off or blow up

    Just finished getting my True Brew "Dark German Lager" kit together yesterday in the 6 gallon plastic carboy. Now, I've used this carboy once or twice before without much trouble. I've also had problems with foam during fermentation where I had to hook a length of hose from the airlock hole...

    Looking for some opinions on a very bungled partial mash

    Hey all, I'm sure I'll take some insults on this one, but that's OK. :) I'm fairly new to partial mash brewing, and got mixed up on a recipe and ingredients I got from a local brew shop. Left with a batch that may be no good, and some major burn residue inside my previously clean stainless...

    Dry yeast floating on top of wort in carboy?

    Hey all, Trying to get back into some basic homebrewing again. I bought one of those plastic "water bottle" carboys as an upgrade from my old plastic bucket which was wearing out. It was a bit challenging to cool the wort without a chiller and the narrow opening on the carboy, but I...

    Making a 9 liter Brewferm kit into 5 gallons?

    Hello all! New to the forum, and had a question... My local beer shop was "clearing out" some of these brewferm kits. For some reason they didn't tell me they were actually small batch kits, but just said they were out of date :( Well , turns out the can is the same size as you'd find in most 5...
