    Saving an aluminum brew pot...

    I wasn't careful enough after my last brew and I used 5 Star PBW to clean it out. I let it set over night and rinsed it out, the bottom was what I belive to be oxidation. Is there anything that I can do to get it back to normal? Is there a re-surfacing process at all?

    Flat

    I brewed an American Wheat last night 3-15-09 about 10pm. It's been fermenting all night and for some reason it's just dead. I used White labs yeast this time. (instead of the dry packets) and I wonder if I didn't do something right with that. I let the wort cool to about 90 deg before...

    primer

    I just bottled by first brew this afternoon an American Pale Ale. I was so excited to rack it from the fermenter I forgot to add the priming sugar to the bottling bucket. I added it to the top of the beer and stirred it a bit. Can anybody imagine that this would effect anything?
