Hi everyone. I bottle because I like to give away beers, so kegging really isn't the solution for me. So I bottle. I find bottle day to be tedious. Currently, I transfer from the glass carboy to a bottle bucket that has 5 ounces of priming sugar in boiling water. Then I transfer from that to...

Hi there. Brewing some zombie dust extract clone. It has 3 ounce of citra dry hops. I did 2 weeks primary, then a week in secondary, then added the hop pellets directly to the beer, and planned to leave it for another week. (so 4 weeks total, including 1 week of dry hopping). I'm supposed to...

Hi there. Has anyone dealt with any specific company that will print your logo on glasses or pitchers? I'd like to do this - my logo is color. When I Google for companies I get about a thousand results. Just curious if anyone has a specific company they recommend or if any particular company...

Hi all, I see on some recipes things like 3.2 pounds of Xxx grain, or 0.62 ounces of this hops. Or odd measure,wants like 7.3 pounds of a liquid malt extract. Do yall actually measure that precise? Or are there websites where you can put in a specialty order like that and get it shopped? And...

Hello. Most extract kits I have used recommend a 6.5 gallon carboy. I only have one. But I have multiple 5 gallon carboys. Most beers I've brewed have an inch of two of krausen. Any reason I can't just use five gallon carboys for primary fermentation?

Brewing my third batch of beer. An extract Zombie Dust clone from Great Fermentations. Despite the included instructions, I'm doing 2 weeks primary, then rack it for 2 weeks in the secondary, with the 2nd week in the secondary for dry hopping. Then bottles for two weeks. Racked it to the...

Trying out some new labels. Using the "basic label" template from Grog tag, so its 2.6" x 3.6", then trimmed to 2.5" x 3.5". I originally had gone with an apothecary style logo. Now trying to modify it a little and going with death / zombie painted artwork. All shamelessly taken from Google...

Hi all. I am looking for a mini fridge that can fit a corny keg and a CO2 tank. Basically a vessel to let me force carb brews prior to bottling. Does anyone have a specific model / Amazon link that can do this? Thank you

Hi all, Brewed first extract beer (BB Weizenbeer) last night. It's a "5 gallon batch." Put about 2.5 gallons in the kettle, followed directions (basically added 6.6 pounds of extract syrup and hops over a certain period of time.) Then poured it all into a 6.5 gallon carboy. I added about 2.1...

Hi all, May someone please point me in the right direction for learning anything and everything about carbonating my brews in a keg, and then bottling? I understand I would need a keg, and possibly a blichman beergun. But I need to know the in's and out's, how much pressure, how long it...

Hi all, I finished my first batch of cider recently. I apparently found a cider recipe here and I copy-pasted some of it in a separate file, and then at some point I believed I was following this recipe. But clearly I wasn't because none of the ingredients match. The recipe I originally...

Hi all, I just bottled 5 gallons of hard cider. Delicious. It is backsweetened, then Campden and K+ sorbite added. Not carbonated. I used some bottle caps, but my "vanity" bottle caps are coming in in a few days. Is there any harm in opening my bottles and replacing the bottle caps with...

Hi all, I've been working on a few different labels. I can't make up my mind. I initially just wanted a simple apothecary style label, which is when I worked on the third label posted here (the one with a yellow background.) But when I got the label printed, it just looks plain and blah. I...
