Sorry guys/gals no pics in this. I brewed my 3rd batch, Imperial Pale Ale went very smoothly. It was an extract kit from Brewers Best. Says that the ABV will be around 8%!! My quick question is, since the abv is typically higher, is the fermentation a lot more aggressive? The first 4 days...

Bare minimum for moving from bottles to kegging. What is needed and what's the lowest cost it can be done.

Any home brewers in the Livingston area?

I'm still an Extract brewer, where do you guys buy your kits from when you buy online? Who's got the best kits and prices??

I just got into the home brew hobby two months ago, found a great home brew store that has been great in helping me out. I'm moving north of Houston and the closest Brew Store is over an hour away in the Humble.... I should have researched the job better and found out if they town had a...

Nut Brown Ale! It spent 3 weeks in the primary, now its been in the bottle for a week and a half. I had some over the weekend and it was good! It still needs a lot more time to condition in the bottles but it did have some carb in it. I was told it would taste similar to a Newcastle...

has anyone brewed their extract kit for American Pale Wheat. I'm brewing my second batch Saturay and I chose this.

I have 40 bottles ready. Should I get it to 50 before I attempt to bottle? That means in the next 24 hours I gotta empty 10, seems easy enough....

I mean, really...... will it make a difference? day 21 is Saturday, the boss (Wifey) has somehow made plans that will take all day, Sunday is booked, going out of town Monday and Monday night...Tuesday will be the next availiable after work. Will doing it Friday (day 20) be that big of...

Just out of curiosity, how much does kegging cost to start up? I've heard that over time I will want to start kegging, but am curious as to how much I need to save up if/when that time comes.....

I've seen tons of threads about infections. This may be the dumbest question ever but what exactly is it? Does it make a batch un-drinkable?

Anyone out there?
