So I'm a home brewer, and naturally pour store bought beer into a glass to observe the carbonation, initial aroma and stuff like that. Call me crazy if you will, but I've been noticing some beers (maybe not the majority but a good little chunk) actually tasting better strait from the bottle...

I am currently brewing NB Petite saison d'Ete, with a wyeast french yeast starter, in a good big gap in the hop schedule. (Don't worry its 3 gallons of wort in a 7.5 gallon pot so it wont boil over). Ive got my big heavy duty asian pink pasta strainer and a couple muslin basg in the star san and...

First one, ive been using these silver caps i got bulk a little while back. They were only a bit more expensive than the gold ones, my first instinct was that they were just better quality or more universal or something. Are all or most silver caps the oxygen killing ones? if so, ive been star...

Yes I invented a word. I'm also brand new to cider but it seems simple enough. My first batch of cider i just dumped plain old store bought apple juice from concentrate, no additives besides the vitamin c. Also several cans of concentrate, same. Sanitized the outside of them with alcohol swab. I...

So this is beyond an experimental batch, it is pure drunken silliness and a bunch of what ifs that are currently way beyond expectation. Sorry for being a giant newb but i lack experience and need some advice. Thats what this website is mostly for, right? Late one night, my gf and I were up...

So I'm about to bottle an experimental extract batch, which is basically a dark Belgian wheat ale. Ill post recipe if necessary (or if I can remember exactly). But to the point, I have a ton of Muntons carbtabs and also Brewers Best light and dark Belgian candi sugar. Ive only primed with...

Hello all. Ive got a weird recipe that's currently fermenting away like crazy. I'd like for you to give your thoughts on it. This is a COMPLETELY EXPERIMENTAL batch made up of ingredients I had lying around, and wanted to brew a beer so please don't ask why I did this. Im still very much a...

So I'm a new brewer and was wondering if anyone here wanted to share their stories of contamination, as I see most brewers say they've never had a contaminated batch. Anyone ever surely thought they contaminated a batch only to find out it was still delicious? I know it would be a sad waste but...

My wyeast packet burst while activating it. almost all the liquid is still in there but i doubt it was sanitary buy the looks of it. This is a dunkelweizen and wyeast 3086. help???? Ive already started brewing. cant turn back now..

So i brewed a caribou slobber, my first brew ever and at first it went great. The finished wort tasted amazing, using a hydrometer for the first time I think it was at 1.025 as i wasnt to concerned with that part being my first attempt. I did everything exactly as the guy in the video it came...

I have an American Brown Ale extract kit w/specialty grains(which the grains taste delicious btw), 5 gallon. This will be my first brew ever, and will be doing a full volume boil outside on my new banjo bayou cooker and 7.5 oz ss pot. I ordered a whole mess of things from northern brewer, as I...

So I'm pacing around my place with a case of THE HARDCORE MUNCHIES..... And, Ive got this caribou slobber kit I'm about to brew in two days. I ate a mini spoonful of the specialty grains just because. I think I'm hooked.... If I didn't want to brew this kit so bad i would seriously just...

High Everypeople! I just received a bunch of giant packages from NB and am crazy to get down and brew a bunch of awesome beer!!! Im sitting on some homebrew a co worker gave me that is rounding three years of aging and it just about sends orgasms to my senses when I drink it. No way of knowing...
