I am not new to this, but new at the same time. I have a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to brewing, but I still have a bunch of questions and concerns. I am trying to get together my equipment and need to know what I should be looking out for first. Currently I have two BB carboys, a...
I'm really stressing right now because i can't figure out how to use the canned purée. I've also been told to use a clearing agent to help with a short ferm time. Any ideas?
Ok I'm not so sure this counts as a brew, but I really wanted to test out all of the hard work I've put into getting started. So I decided to start a cider. I did six gallon of cider, 3 lbs of sugar and a cuvée yeast. So no brewing required.

A fellow brewer friend of mine said that he would change the starsan solution to water because the acidity of the solution vs just plain water. I have seen people place the prob in the beer, taped and insulated on the carboy and placed in a bottle of water right next to the fermentation. I...

I have seen an unfiltered wit (which I can't remember the name) and a blue moon (i think it was just old) do that. I don't think tit altered the taste, but it was slightly unsettling.
