I recently purchased a 7 cu ft chest freezer and an inkbird temp regulator which has been working great, but now that my fermenters are in a sealed location, I'm noticing that the airlocks are sucking back in alot of the liquid. It seems when I add more liquid to them, it drops again within 24...

Is it possible to get a sweet blueberry flavor in beer? I've been trying to whip up a Blueberry Wheat beer that's somewhat muffin-y sweet, but Lactose doesn't seem to cut it. I've tried it during the boil (1/2lb in 2 gallon batch) and at bottling (1/4lb in a 2 gallon batch) and both don't seem...

Hello, I read an article or a forum not too long ago that said using Candied Lemon Zest works pretty good to get a sweet lemon flavor out of your beer.

I've used Vanilla Beans a few times in the past, both adding to the secondary fermenter. For some reason I only used the guts and threw out the husks, but for my next recipe, I plan to add both, but I'm having troubles figuring out the best way to prepare it. This will be for a wheat beer, FYI...

I've been brewing for about 6 months now, pretty actively, and since I've started my process has always been to Primary for 7-10 days, then split the primary into 2 secondary's so that I can experiment with 1 with different additives. Pretty much experiment and always be able to test my...
