Can anyone tell me how long can I store beer once it has been kegged and untapped. Personal experience would be great. I've never kegged only bottled. I've read that it will last for 3-6 months. But it would be nice to know from the people that actually brewed and stored their beers.

When you lager, do you need to bring the temperature -5°F each day? Or can you just bring the wort to 35°F right away? Thinking about lagering soon and its my first time. I've looked up different instructions on how to lager but would like to get expert opinion.

I'm sure that this topic has been discuss before. But can't find it. Here's the story from A to Z... I've brewed 4 times with extract recipe kit. I follow the instructions as what they have written. I have skipped the secondary fermentation, but this time I want to do a secondary...

Is it necessary to cool the keg after placing the homebrew in the keg? It's my first time to keg my homebrew and I don't have space in the fridge. I can place it in the basement where the temp is around 75°F during the day and 70°F at night. I've seen many videos and read articles placing the...

I am thinking to make some wine in a couple weeks. I was wondering about the longevity of the wine kits. How long will they last in the bottle until it goes bad. I drink not to get drunk, I drink because of the flavor.

I have been wondering, what if I filter my home brew. Would it make the taste be different? What about the color? Will the color be lighter or the same? What about if I make a stout? Will that change the color drastically? Will the alcohol be less? Is it worth filtering a home brew?

I am wondering is it best to do a protein rest for every all-grain brew? I have read that certain grains do not need to do a protein rest and some grains definitely do. I love the foamy head retention and thats what I am aiming for.

I always wanted to know, why do so many people sparge the grains in a separate container? Like a cooler. Wouldn't it be better to just lower the burner to the lowest flame and put the grains in the heated water? Will it ruin the flavor of the malt extract?

What is the best cleaning solution out there for cleaning and sanitizing your keg. I never owned one or know too much of it. I just know how to drink out of it. Also is there any cleaning method to them?

What is the best way to filter your freshly made wort? I recently made my second batch of extracted beer from a kit that I bought. The kit came with hop pellets and since it was an IPA, there was lots of it. I did buy a double strainer for this batch of goodiness and I used it. It works well...

I'm making a Belgium IPA ale this weekend and it is a kit that I bought in a brew store. It said 3 different types of yeast. A dry yeast, Wyeast and Whitelabs. I know the process differs but is there really a difference in the taste or the time it takes to ferment?

I don't know if this is the right area to be asking this but…… Has anyone been to any academy or institution for brewing? Like Central Washington University, University of California, Brewlab, VLB Berlin, Siebel, etc etc etc….. It would be nice to know how the atmosphere and experiences of...

Ok, my very first batch of beer was a good experience for me and a big fat fail stamped across my head. For all home brewers out there I don't know what your experience was on making your first home brew. But I thought mine was a disaster. Heres the simple version of my journal…. -Day...
