All, I'm getting ready to make a 2.5 Gallon Blond and will be adding 1 Can of 49 Oz Blueberry Puree. My plan is to add in secondary. My question is do I need to adjust the water in recipe since I'm adding in Puree. For Example, after I put the Wort into Fermenter, the recipe states to add 1...

All, I'm making a 2.5 Gallon kit of Vanilla Cream Ale. The recipe says to add 2 oz. pure vanilla extract to Secondary. My concern is that this might give the beer a chemical or artificial taste. I'm curious if anyone can recommend something else. I see Brewers Best makes a whole bunch of...

I'm getting ready to brew a small batch (2 Gallons) of beer. This kit came with bittering hops and Aroma Hops. Now, I always have used muslin bags even for pellets as I prefer that, but, most kits I've done were Bittering/Flavor hop that went into the boil. This recipe says to add the pellets...

I brewed a brown ale and put some in a small keg, but, had extra, so, I bottled the rest. It made about 10 bottles and I used Fizz drops. I checked after 2 weeks and it was flat. It has now been 5 weeks and still flat. Can I do something to try and carbonate these?? I was thinking of either...

All, I bought a Cannonball keg and changed out the corny lid with one that has a carbstone. Last night was first time I used it. I set the pressure to 12 psi (Using 74G cartridge) and put in Fridge. Checked on it an hour later and it was at 25 psi!. I did purge it a few times and again set...

All, New to homebrewing and ran into a problem. I bought a 1 gallon small batch of Chocolate stout. I followed the directions and my OG was 1.058 which was at high end but, in range for OG. I used the 3 gallon BrewDemon fermenter (Maybe that was a mistake since most space in there isn't...

All, I'm thinking about purchasing the Cannonball keg. My buddy swears by using a carbstone for his large keg, and, I wanted to apply the same principal here. I was told the lid that comes with it doesn't include the tube with carbstone. My question...can I get a Corny style keg lid with...

All, My first 2 batches were 1 gallon. I found the bottling portion to be a PITA. I have magic siphon, but, it was tough to get started and to keep it going. Needed a 2nd person too. Also, almost impossible to not get Trub in the bottles. What I would like to do is get the 5 gallon plastic...

I have my 1 Gallon batch in the little big mouth bubble and fermentation is complete. I'm ready to bottle this weekend. I see Trub at the bottom which I know is normal, but, my question is...Can I just pour the Wort back into my Kettle (sanitized of course) through a spaghetti strainer to try...

I got a 1 Gallon small brew kit with the NB Little big mouth bubbler. My first kit is Goose island sweet porter. I followed the instructions and when it came time to adding the hop pellets I dumped them in, but, didn't stir as directions didn't say to do that. When everything was done, I did...

All, I'm going to brew my first beer in a few days. It is a 1 Gallon kit as I want to make up to a 12 pack. The recipe I picked is Goose Island Sweet Porter. I'd like to add some coffee to this recipe and wanted some suggestions. After researching, I'd like to star with Dry hopping vs the...
