I need to start bottling from my wort. I have a mix of bottles, IPAs, Stella Artois, and Sam Adams. I am not putting on custom labels or anything, can I just put these bottles in the dishwasher with the labels on them... Dishwash them and then bottle? Just asking to make sure if its ok that...

@jrgtr42 - Just to be safe, I will go ahead and purchase this pot from Graniteware. 34-quart w/ steel core http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BO7C9C/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I just bought a pumpkin ale kit which came with a packet of Muntons Active Brewing Yeast. I read the results vary on this type of yeast and that liquid yeast may be better. I am looking for a stable yeast which I can use for all of my brewing (since I am just starting I am not...

Looking for an addition to a pumpkin ale recipe. Love pumpkin ale, a bit spicy more pumpkin flavor. I have the pumpkin ale kit from midwest supplies and want to doctor it up a bit for a stronger taste (based on reviews too)...

Just bought a brew set. I have this left over from deep frying my turkey, Thanksgiving. It's clean. Question is if I can use this as a brew kettle? Bayou Classic Aluminum Turkey Fryer Stockpot - 30 qt http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00062VZMY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Just asking this to learn. but why can you not use a 5 gallon plastic carboy as a second primary? Why do you say to use a 6 gallon? Is that 1 gallon that much of a difference in the amount you are able to produce? Thanks
