Seeking some advice on this topic, I bought a can of Fast Pitch (concentrated canned wort) to use for my starter and being the genius that I am, I forgot to read the fine print that said to add 16 oz of water to the 16 oz of Fast Pitch wort that was already in the flask before pitching yeast...

Just finished brewing my fall BIAB 'AG24 Oktoberfest' Lager and unfortunately (being tired as it was after 2 AM here), I accidentally pushed my thermowell with rubber stopper attached right into beer as I was trying to affix the airlock into the rubber stopper. The Thermowell and rubber stopper...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on this forum knows what Brewtan is and how it's used in brewing? I have done some searching online but unfortunately have not found much. A commercial brewer uses this and I am curious as to the 'how's' and 'why's' of its application. Thanks!

Recently I came upon a most unfortunate site in my garage - somehow a mouse (no idea how) actually managed to crawl it's way into one of my empty 5 gallon glass carboys. It must have been in there for a few days at least and ultimately expired due to hunger, thirst or the impact of hitting the...

Long story short, I was a dummy and let my 'temp controlled' Wheat beer freeze solid in my fermentation chamber after I left my temperature probe outside of the freezer on accident. D'oh! Up to that point the beer had been fermenting for 10 days at about 64 degrees and by all accounts went...

I thought I would ask all of you homebrewers out there who have a kind and loving significant other what she (or he) wants you to brew for her (or him)? Is it usually something that is the polar opposite of what you prefer to brew or do you have a SO who is in alignment with your brewing...

I just got done setting up my kegerator w/dual body regulator and 20 Lb c02 tank (with only 1 keg hooked up) and for the most part everything seems to be fine(C02 tank reads about 620 psi in fridge, able to adjust my keg pressure to about 12 psi, beer flowing nicely), however there is one thing...

I'm attempting to replicate a beer by the Moose's Tooth Brewing Co. called White Princess Wit. This was one delicious brew and as you can guess it was a very light Belgian wit. They don't make it anymore so my only way to try this beer again is to try and replicate it. During my research on...

I recently received my Bayou Classic Banjo Cooker (model KAB4) in preparation for my first brewing session. The cooker is mostly assembled but I still have to attach the propane regulator hose's brass fitting to the cooker's circular air intake shutter. There is a spring that goes between the...
