My normal run is 3 weeks in the primary 3 weeks bottle condition. My question is 2 parts. Will I have the same aging flavor if I was 5 weeks in primary and 1 week in the bottle? The second would be how quickly does a beer bottle carb If I wanted to run 4 primary 2 bottle or 5 And 1. Just...

Does filtering from brew pot to primary cause less trub for bottling? I generally siphon from brew pot to carboy and take everything, trying to get all the goodness in there, but my first 5 gallon batch had at least 4" of trub when I went to bottle. If I leave the gunk in the brew pot will...

Being a noob to home brew I can't I.D. ingredients enough to know what I like and don't like. So my method is, try a craft brew, if I like it look up a clone OR check the recipe database and if it sounds tasty, make it. This is a palette check. The Sam Adams Hopology latitude 48 and...

Was going to bottle, then saw this. Looks like orange pulp clumps. What do I have? Can I bottle and avoid? Is this a, get people sick one?

After multiple trips to the craft beer store I finally figured out what my wife doesn't like in a beer. It's a dry finish. I went through 15 different Belgian English ales and milds thinking it was the hops... Today she had a DFH brown ale "liberally hopped" and liked it. I took the bottle...

My first recipe adjustment. I want to swap bittering hops to gain the citrus and drop the spice. If I switch the Nugget as a flame out hops could I get the spice aroma and then surprise with a citrus flavor or is this a bad move?

I did a 3 gallon batch and probably filled to 2 and 2.25 gallons. I am going to rack to a new carboy to get off the 2" of stuff in the bottom. I am planning on adding the additional water after racking. What are my major effects? Missed FG because of a higher OG? Bad flavors due to too much...

Bottling my first beer next weekend and I don't know if you sanitize caps. Everything else gets sanitized, but I wondered if it would damage the oxygen absorbing stuff on the cap. Or get sanitizer stuck on it.

I have 3 gallons going to bottle in 2 weeks and I am bottling pumpkin wine tonight so I can start 6 gallons of American pale ale this weekend. Drinking and giving it away I think I am going to have a surplus.

Just a hello for my first post. I have made wine and decided to try beer. I asked my local brew shop for an easy recipe, so he gave me some extract, and some hops and said boil one hour, then pitch at room temp, 3 weeks primary, 3 weeks bottle, drink. I am going to see how his goes and most...
