I had a blow off tube hooked up to my carboy during fermentation. Once I checked gravity I turned down my fridge to cold crash and forgot to take the blow off tube out. I now have about 2in of the sanitized liquid on top of my beer. Should I throw it out or try and filter it off some type of way?

Hi All, I'm only a few brews in using all extract and I want to give BIAB a try. I like big beers and it seems that using extract method will cost me an arm and a leg over all grain or BIAB. I have beer smith 2 and for the life of me I can not get my adjustments right for my recipe of...

I'm looking to buy a stir plate but I am brewing this friday and won't be able to get to my local brew shop until maybe thursday night. Would I be fine with just buying two smack packs for a wort that should have a O.G of ~1.07?

Hi, I'm looking to start my first brew today. My local home brew store helped me pick out a Belgian White for my first recipe. The instructions say to boil 1 1/2 gallons of water and not to add additional water until after in the fermenter. I wanted to know if boiling that little water in the...
