Congratulations buddy! My daughter is my world and she loves it when I am standing around the brew kettle and she loves to bring me misc tools and such and thinks she is my little assistant. The only bit of advice i will give you is just love em, that is all they really need to thrive.

i did bottle a batch where i ended up using some older caps on the 22oz bottle and new caps on the 12oz bottles and the bottles with the older caps totally tasted different, i had to toss them out, but the bottles with the brand new caps were fine and tasted like it was supposed to. I will...

I have Dry Hopped many batches as of late and I love the extra taste it provides to the brew. I literally just crack open the bucket or carboy and just sprinkle them in disturbing the brew as little as possible. Then when i go to bottle, i just cut off a piece of a steeping grains bag and put...

i have also wondered the same thing and will be very curious as to what people respond to this.

Looks normal to me, just some unsettled yeast

Just met a former brewer and bought his collection of 16 oz bottles for $25.00 all in all I ended up with 250+ beautiful bottles to add to the collection and fill with all sorts of tasty brews. That will make for a fun fall season of brewing!

I made the extract version of this recipe and it turned out great and is gone... It literally lasted a week and a half, and everybody said the same thing.. you made this????

Looks like a healthy fermentation going in there, give it some time and dont rush it

I made a lovely tobacco brew, It was a hefewizen and when i got to bottling i sent my 2 year old daughter out and told her to find as many cigerette butts as she could find and before bottling them up we just dropped a but in each beer! It turned out nice because some had that lovely menthol...

My pipeline is definatley filling up and I grabbed one of those mini kegs from the local home brew store. It is one of those 5 litre mini kegs with the little spout on the bottom. I am looking at just filling it up and keeping it in the fridge till we have a few friends over where we can just...

looks fine to me, bottle it up and see what happens :tank:

Do not worry buddy you will be just fine, it also took me a little while to not fear the foam :fro:

Ok i will try my best to explain the major problem at hand.. I just recently brewed up my first batch of beer it was an Amber Ale and everything went fine with the brewing process, and the fermenting, and even the bottling went fine. I bottled it up into 22 oz bottles and conditioned and popped...
