    A not so successful Wit. What went wrong?

    Today I bottled a witbier that I brewed 3 weeks ago and Im not sure exactly how I messed this beer up so badly. I used the BIAB method with my mill gap set at .018. I always get around 80% efficiency with this set up. My grain bill was: 5 lbs Belgian Pilsner 4.5 lbs Flaked wheat (did not run...

    Infected?

    I know there are tons of these posts on the forums but I just want to hear it from the experts. I racked my cider out from under this and it doesn’t taste bad. Gonna let it age in secondary for a while and see what I end up with.

    Lagering Schedule and Lagering While Carbonating

My fermentation schedule is: start at 52 F, then ramp up temp. to 66F no more than 3 degrees a day after fermentation slows and hold at 66F for one week. Then drop temp down...

    I recently purchased an Anvil brewing equipment high performance burner and was just wondering about how many batches everyone else gets out of a propane tank on this burner?

    Multiple Steeping Grains

    I am in the planning stages of brewing my third extract homebrew and I have what is probably a stupid question. My first two brews had only one steeping grain but my next brew, an Irish Red Ale, has 5. the total amount of grains is 2 1/4 pounds. Do I put all of these grains in one grain bag...

    How will these beginner mistakes affect my first beer?

    Last week I attempted my first home brew. I used an American Pale Ale extract recipe kit that came with my starter kit from Morebeer!. I think the yeast was Safale US-05. The first thing I was unsure of was doing a full boil on my kitchen stove. I was able to get to a boil in a reasonable...
