It was cleaned with pbw a few weeks before and I just rinsed thoroughly and closed it. That would be okay right?? Only thing that happened odd during fermentation was my roommate took a blanket off the top of te carboy and it was light struck for about 6 hours.. But not so much of a skunky off...

I might have been Columbus hops it was either one they choose to add to the kit. And yes I used 5 gallons if spring bottled water since I have chlorine in my tap water..

I just used star San to clean it. And I just let it drain the most it would and let the foam grt pushed out by the beer

I cleaned everything very well with recommended dosage of star San and pbw. Pbw then star San. And filled keg halfway with sanitizer and let sit for 4 minutes them flipped over and took apart to let soak. Put pressure to keg and put cleaner through the lines and used the beer to push any...

I tasted my brew after 7 days and it was overly bitter! And now tasted it again at 10 days and it tastes like an amber that has a weird sort of off taste... It's not a horrible flavor but nothing that I can point out exactly.. Know it's hard to help with little info but any help is appreciated!

I just made a pale ale and this is my third batch of homebrew I have done. This is the first time I did the three week primary method and also my first time kegging my beer. I used spring water and followed all the instructions for the boil including 60 minute first 2oz of hops and another 2 oz...

I now use the bucket like you said for sanitizer and switched to primary carboy. And hopefully I don't have to give it another go and it turns out good, and I'll pm u if I run into any questions thank you!

I'll have to check the recipe when I get home for the buttering hops in which I used. So I have it cold crashing right now... Is that bad or will it still have the chance to condition out?

Okay I'll give that a go and see if it conditions out, and I know I used cascade hop pellets but can't recall what the other ones were..

Bummer... Well that's 15 gallons down the drain now:/

I placed a blanket over the top but my drunk roommate took it off one night... Think that's enough to ruin it?

Sorry hard to type on this phone and lost where I was at... I did top of to 5 gallons with bottled spring water. And I added hops after the extract, 2 oz at start of 60 minute boil and another 2.5 oz at 15 minutes left in boil. The problem with te beer is that it is an ipa and I did three weeks...

Then I take samples and keep an eye on it, and cold crash when the beer is ready and put it to the keg. Kegs at 40 degrees and use 12 pounds of pressure and carb for at least a week. Sorry for grammar errors and missing parts. Typing on iPhone and can only see first paragraph....

I've done three batches of homebrew that I bought pre made at my local brew store. It's grains and extract recipes. I'll explain my process which I do and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! First I sanitized table tops and I get a Tupperware tote and fill it with five gallons of...
