i started out all grain recently, and to go along with that, built myself a nice simple immersion chiller out of 20' 3/8"D copper tubing. it worked pretty well i thought, but had a tough time getting the temps down below 100F... to remedy this, i went out and bought 50' of 3/8"D copper...

I did my first all-grain on Saturday, and it mostly went okay I thought... except I didn't take into account the amount of wort I would lose due to avoiding the trub/hot break material at the bottom of the boil kettle after cooling it. As a result, I ended up with about 4.7 gallons, but was...

I'm about to attempt my first time doing all grain with a pretty standard american pale ale, and also have a pretty standard IPA that is ready to be bottled (from primary, no secondary). I wanted to try reusing the yeast for the first time also, so I was thinking about transferring to bottling...

I brewed an Irish Red (liquid extract) kit from AHS, along with two other beers back in December (12/21), and racked them all to secondary on 1/3. My problem arose from haste, and I didn't check gravity on my Red before racking; though I did check the other two which were just about at FG. I...

So.... I've made probably about 20 home brews so far, all LME or DME, most from austin homebrew (not that that matters). My problem is that probalby seven or eight of them have been SUPREMELY over carbonated... even though some of them spent a couple weeks in primary, and several weeks in...

So I got a little overzealous maybe and ordered up six beers from AHS, and grabbed the wrong vial of White Labs yeast for the first brew. It's a Texas Blonde 6B, liquid extract... pitched at 80F... the target OG of the brew is 1.042 (with the alcohol boost it was 1.055), but instead of pitching...

So my girlfriend's boddington's pub ale clone from ahs has been in primary for 29 days and I was preparing it for bottling tonight finally, and a while after moving it to the counter in the kitchen, I caught something out of the corner of my eye... bubbling. I timed it and it's about one per...

As in lots..? Like five inches maybe... Is this going to kill my Belgium trippel? It was in primary about two weeks... Is this the worst thing I could do and I should just bottle at this point? Or its not that bad?

so my gf wanted us to try a batch of boddington's pub ale clone from AHS. we don't have a keg though... this will just be primed like normal and bottled... is that going to be an issue? and should we still bottle condition this... if so, is it okay at 74+ F? i'm beginning to wonder if i...

So this is my second brew... my first was a Cooper's Lager that I didn't realize really needed to be fermented quite cold, as my LHB store included it with the kit and told me I was good to go. Well, that batch has been bottle conditioning for about 8 days now; I tried one, and it tastes either...
