I'm sure most homebrewers have to deal with this, but I have been noticing a lot more people who have been nicer to me since they have tasted one of my homebrews. My co-workers especially. This is obviously one of the perks and problems of creating high quality homebrews on a regular basis...

I think it will be fine. My last batch was in the secondary for 7 weeks and I had no problem.

Your situation sounds very similar to mine and I just kegged for the first time eight days ago. I had an old fridge in the basement, a free keg and valves from work, a co2 tank from a relative, and i bought the hoses and clamps at a beer supply store. I was nervous because I didn't know...

It's been a few days later and it tastes great. I love it! Great taste, great carbonation. To me it doesn't taste like a traditional wheat beer, but it's still awesome. It will be a long time until I bottle again.:rockin:

First I want to say "thank you" for all of the help I have received from this and other posts. You beer guys are always so informative and helpful. I have been on here for two years and although I don't post a lot, I do read almost daily. Secondly, after three days of waiting I became...

The Home Brew Wiki is lacking any detailed instructions on how to properly keg. I have checked some other sites and they are all slightly different.

I just kegged for the first time and I am kind of nervous about if I did everything right. I filled up a an old coca-cola cornie with my wheat beer, which has been in the secondary for about 7 weeks. (it took me that long to get valves for my keg) I added about 1/3 cup of corn sugar too...

Has anyone ever gotten into canning their beer? I want to put my beer in cans.

your yeast should be absolutely fine. i have left my yeast in my cupboards for months at room temperature and all the beers i made with it tasted fine.

it's nice to see a fellow pennsylvanian brewing beer at home.

I know everyone says you're supposed to wait atleast two weeks to let your beer carbonate, but I can't wait. I get too excited and anxious to drink my new beer. I usually try a bottle after a week or 8 days. Most times it has been fine. I would just try one after a week and see if it's...

I didn't expect to get so many replies. Thanks everyone for welcoming me back to the world of home brewing. Like I mentioned, I was making beer for a while and then stopped when I moved. I'm glad to get back into it. I had no clue that the Beer and Pop warehouse in Erie sold home brewing...

Hello, My name is Tim and I am making beer later today. I made beer a few times when I was living in Memphis, TN. I recently moved to Erie, PA and will be making beer for the first time since I moved. It's been some months since I made beer, but I hope that I start making it pretty...

I am a newbie with 2 questions as I wait for my first batch to finish carbonating. Looking back on how I made my beer I can now think of things that I would have done differently. One thing I didn't do was use a hydrometer. I did a lot of reading and research and decided to leave it in...

Well, I made my own first batch of beer. Now I wait as it carbonates. I held a bottle up to the light. It looked like it had clouds in it. I can only assume that means my first batch of beer won't be as perfect tasting as I used to dream while I stared into the glass carboy night after...
