I have a pretty strong off flavor in my beer and I assumed it was yeast bite b/c I left it in the primary for 4wks. It tastes like chlorine to me. Is that what you would describe the taste of yeast bite as? How would you describe it if not?

I left my brew on the yeast cake for a month and it's got some major yeast bite. Will any amount of bottle conditioning help?

I forgot to put in the whirfloc tablet when I was brewing yesterday. The brew is fermenting pretty heavily right now. Can I still put it in?

I just bottled my first brew and the FG was 1.020, how do I know if the beer is getting carbonated? Is there any way to tell? And, is 1.020 high?

I have a beer in the fermenter I am about to take out and I want to know if i put put the new wort in the fermenter with the yeast cake. seems like a pretty hefty starter. what are the problems, if any, with this method?

For all-grain. Or, if you use it for anything else, what else? :mug:

This is my first brew, I have it in the glass carboy 1 week in. the co2 release valve is bubbling once every 15 seconds or so. It is still cloudy although the yeast bits are getting smaller and smaller. I am wondering if it will get clear. I am planning on leaving in the carboy one more week and...

I keep seeing this when i am looking at different extracts.

I am looking at different types of malt and I don't know what these "L" designations represent.

I am brewing for the first time and the Krausen is building up. I have heard that it may be good to remove this from the fermenter. Is this true? And, if so, how would one go about getting it out of a glass carboy through that little hole?

I just made my first brew. It's bubbling away right now. I realized that I did not have the lid on for my wort boil. Is this going to ruin my beer?
