Mine does the same

I go through a lot of deer corn at the hunting lease, it might be the same sweet corn but the quality is all over the place. I've opened bags of deer corn loaded with briars, cobb pieces, sticks, pebbles etc. not to mention the bags of black, moldy kernels. A few bucks more you can get...

Man, that's a lot of beer!

My first batch of brew, i was really stressing the hop schedule, didn't complement understand it. It came time to add ½ the packet of hops and blitzed and dumped the whole pack, i was scrambling trying to get the hop pellets (that were swelling and breaking apart) out as quick as i could. I...

I think you should have bottled and let it sit for 2 weeks at around 70ish degrees and then put in the fridge.

Perfect timing, i am looking into making one for at least 2 ball locks

My first 5g, it's a bock that my lhbs came up with it, ended up at 6.5%abv

Thanks, I have an old Spuds Mckinzie beer glass that I've been using that holds 10oz, it's about perfect

I kept my beers at 70ish, today is 2 weeks. Wednesday i put a 6 pack in the fridge and tried one last night, wow, i did it! It was carbonated well, had a nice head, cleared up some and tasted great so i had another. I appreciate the advice getting me through my first batch of brew. Looking...

I've got one close to me, south of Houston in Webster, I'm not sure how many are around the greater Houston area but, i am thankful to have one so close to me. The Hoppin Grape is a good shop with friendly smiling faces always ready to greet you and help in any way and they encourage me...

I have my home water heater set at 130°f, i use the kitchen sink sprayer to sparge, with the bag of grains over a brew bucket so i know how much water I've used. Works great for me

Ok, thanks. I will keep it in a warmer room than where i currently have it

It's been another week and my phones flash light still doesn't light up the carboy.... at all. I went ahead and bottled it though. I have modified my bottling bucket with a bottle length piece of a siphon wand and a smaller piece that was heated and bent stuck inside the spigot turned to the...

I have drank a lot of pilsner in my youth, i had never thought about a beers clarity before now. I don't like hoppy beers so i don't explore the beer world too much. I was set up and about to bottle when i started this thread to get some opinions. I had not planned on kegging this batch...

I noticed, while having a few blue moon beers last night that there was a little sediment in the bottom and it wasn't very clear. This is not a hoppy beer at all but it's gonna sit wrapped in a blanket. No spout on the carboy so I'll have to siphon into the bucket to bottle. I don't know if...

Thanks for the responses, i rocked the carboy back and forth to agitate it, I'll let it sit for another week or two. As far as the Co2, i was planning on bottling this batch, i didn't think there was enough Co2 to mess with, i read that it doesn't take much but wasn't sure how much that was...

Thanks, Well, i reckon I'll go out and work on the fence then.....dammit. I will have the new gaskets and o-rings by next week, is 15psi in the bottle enough to carbonate a 5gl keg? It's a smaller bottle, about as tall as a propane tank

I've been reading for 2 weeks about bottling while my wort was ferminting, i have successfully fermented my first beer, an ingredients kit for a bock, (my lhbs puts the kits together) in a 5g glass carboy. Today is 2 full weeks and the sg has not changed in 3 days, it started at 1.058 and...

You were suggested to me over at the homedistiller.org forum when i was looking into making first 🍺
