I currently have a Mexican Pilsner similar to Corona on day 7 in the primary and it is still fermenting like crazy. It is my first lager I have ever done and I have been able to keep it around 50-53 degrees just using outside temperature. What I'm wondering about is the recipe calls for moving...

So I brewed a black ale and added 2 vanilla beans and a pint of Woodford Reserve to the secondary and after racking it on top of that I noticed I've got about 5.5 gallons of what is supposed to be a 5 gallon batch. FG is 1.010-1.011 and its supposed to be around 1.013. Did I majorly screw up and...

I just got access to an amazing fresh organic peach harvest and I'm wanting to do a peach ale recipe I have but turn it into a wild brew, what bacteria should I use and at what point would I add it?

Sorry if this has already been discussed before but I was at Walmart and saw a nylon type laundry bag made by Tide that I believe was 15x18 inches and it dawned on me to use it as a reuseable mini-mash grain bag. Has anyone else used these or heard of anyone using them? Do I need to do anything...

Hey ya'll, I'm fixing to do my first Hefe, I have a question and wanted to see if ya'll might could help me. I'm doing an extract with specialty grains and I have 8 oz. Cara Pils Malt, 8 oz. German Pilsner Malt, and 6 lb. of Wheat DME. My question is I also have 16 oz. of milled Vienna Malt...

Hey all, I just did a Brewferm Kriek and I'm really not sure if this is even the right thread but I did it in a 3 gallon fermenter which I've never done and I wasn't able to stir the yeast in real well like it said and it seems weird to me so I attached a pic to see if y'all thought it would be...

Any suggestions on a German style to do for a local competition that a semi-newbie can do with basic equip?

Hey all, I'm starting my second batch today, a Summer Ale by Brewer's Best, I was wondering if anyone might have some experience or advice on anything to add in the secondary to make it more "summery" or fruity, would like to make it more my own even though it is a kit....thanks!

I recently bought 24 16 oz. Groelsch bottles to use for bottling part of my first home brew and I've heard the gaskets need changed from time to time so I was wondering if these would be sufficient to use for now?

Hey y'all, first batcher here. Got 5 gallons oatmeal stout on day 13 in secondary fermenter after 7 days in primary. It's still fermenting and my question is how long is it ok to leave a batch in the secondary? 3 weeks? 4 weeks? What is too long? I'm planning on at least another week since its...

Hey y'all, first time brewer and I'm 8 days into the secondary fermenter after a week in the primary and my batch has developed a ring of what appears to be a foamy substance. Is this normal or not? I'm worried I have something growing in there that shouldn't be!

Hi all, first time brewer and my batch of oatmeal stout is in the secondary and will soon be bottling. I obtained 70 groelsch bottles and I'm wondering if these work fine for bottling (as long as the gasket is in good condition). I read somewhere that some people had trouble with lack of...
