    California Water

    Despite our squabbles of various sorts, Americans are all pretty much a big family as far as I'm concerned. We can't be indifferent to the travails suffered by fellow Americans in other parts of the country, and honestly call ourselves patriots or even Americans. Floods, Fires, Drought...

    Yet another kegging/force carbonation thread....

    I've just bought myself some new corny kegs mainly for convenience and because I hate bottling on my days off. Anyway. I've just stuck on a batch of beer last night. Won't be ready to keg for another 2.5 weeks but I just wanted to ask this ahead of time so I'm not panicking when it comes to keg...

    Who needs a good laugh?

    I'm brand new to home brewing. A couple months ago a friend introduced me to it (and gave me most of the equipment needed for extract brew) and then helped me with my first batch, which is going on week two in the bottle as we speak. I brewed a second batch on my own a week after and it should...

    Cider 1 week in, little fermentation?

    Hello brewers, I've done a couple of brews before but this is my first cider and under new climate (I live in Brazil now, only ever brewed at my previous house in Montana). I followed a pretty straight forward cider recipe: 5 gallons 100% natural apple juice, no preservatives, no additives...

    Ferment temp, length, and yeast packet info

    I'm gearing up to do my third batch; a Brewer's Best Holiday Ale kit. My first two (Oatmeal Stout and Mango Saison) were done by just following the kit directions and putting the fermentation buckets in a sink in my basement. The stout has come along quite well. It's quite drinkable, but has an...

    Moving location what method of temp control?

    Seems I will be moving to live with mother, until she dies or is put into an EMI home, so if I want to continue to do home brew, I will need to set it all up in mothers house. Only 7 miles away from my house, so could still brew in my house, but likely I will at least in winter months move the...
