+5 gallons Irish Red Ale = 43739

I got my Dark Star burner from NB so I can finally get away from my glass-top stove!

Its comforting to hear that more people have had similar experience with only one bottle getting destroyed. I opened another beer from this batch today and the carbonation is the same as the one I tried yesterday. I did dissolve the priming sugar in boiling water and put it in the bottom of...

This is not at all what happened to me. The bottle just looks like the bottom cracked and fell off. I probably wasnt home when it happened or it cant have been very loud. Also there was barley any splattered beer on the inside of the cabinet. I hope it was just a bad bottle but just to be...

I can probably put about 4 six-packs in my fridge. I dont have second fridge/beer fridge. Since I live in south Texas I keep my AC at 78F. Will this make bottle bombs worse?

So far this year: 5 gallons APA 5 gallon IPA 5 gallons Black IPA 40037+5+5+5 =40052

So here it goes, my first post after lots and lots of reading on this forum. I used to make some extract beers in collage but I havnt brewed in about 8 years now. I finally took it up again a couple of months ago. After an OK extract APA I decided to go all grain. Today I just finished...
