What's up HBT! I am currently working on the business plan to open a brewery in north Georgia that specializes in limbic style and other other wild beers, and I wanted to know who would like to see this become a reality? Don't think about feasibility or anything like that. What I need to know is...

Okay..so while I was getting ingredients for a Belgian Tripel at my LHBS, I stumbled upon an awesome yeast sale "If it's over a year old, its free". So I grabbed a couple of packs of year old wyeast 3333 and ingredients for a hefeweizen (recipe is from Brewing Classic Styles). The guys at the...

Everything was fine until i unplugged it from one fridge and moved to another and then i got a C03 or Co3 (dont know if its a zero or an "o")code that flashed a few times and then it displayed the ambient temp. Can anyone who knows something about electrical work tell me what the hell this...

Okay, so I was thinking of getting a few feet of vinyl tubing, putting it into a coil, and then put the coil in a cooler of ice and running my wort from the kettle through the chiller and out the other end into the fermenter. If its too hot and will melt the tubing, I can use my immersion...

It was a Munton's dry ale yeast and it's about 66-68 now

I just brewed my second beer (an irish red extract) and it did not go well at all. I couldn't get the wort to pitching temperature so I used cans of soda that were in the fridge to cool it, I dropped my spoon into the wert and had to use my hand to pull it out. I sprayed everything with starsan...

So I brewed what was labeled to be a pilsner from true brew..but I don't really think that's what this is. The ingredients were 1 oz cascade hop pellets, 1 oz cascade hop leaves, 3.3 pounds light LME, 2 pounds light DME, and Muntons ale yeast. Can anyone help name this beer?

Does anyone know why there's a darker layer on top? Pictures attached

If I do rack it and leave it in the secondary for a few weeks, will it still carbonate when I add priming sugar and bottle it?

I'm brewing a True Brew pilsner extract kit, I'm not sure if I should rack to a secondary or when. The kit's instructions don't say anything about racking, but I've heard it's typically a good idea to do so. The kit just says to wait a week or until the air lock stops bubbling, add the priming...

Simple question: Can I put ice in my wort to cool it to pitching temperature?

Thank you all for the advice! I've got a bottle of San Star coming in the mail, and I'm going to start from there. I'm still very new at this, I really appreciate all the advice!

Thanks for all the feed back! I'm going to postpone my brew for a week and get a bottle of Star san.

Im about to make my first home brew, and I am wonder how to properly use bleach to sanitize my equipment. mainly: is it okay to use it on my plastic fermenter and how to properly use it.

One gallon of apple juice (nothing but juice) One cup of brown sugar One packet of Lalvin EC-1118 I used one gallons of water with a tablespoon of Easy Clean no rinse sanitizer and rinsed out the jug with it and then used the same solution to clean my bowl I used to activate my yeast, air...
