transferred the beer to second car boy and lbk yesterday. Still no prblems with beer so far ....smells like beer for sure . Should be interesting in a couple weeks if I have officially saved this brew. Planning on priming with extra honey to add more to the aroma...I think with all my mishaps that t...

Getting ready to get my own personal labels done. Any suggestions?

I rest my lbks in the closet near our basement laundry room. The carboys are sitting right across from the washer and dryer lol. Doin ok though with the space my wife permits me

k guys this morning krausen jumped to two inches and had to chear a tonne of over flow on the lbk. Got home from work now. carboy has calmed right down. Took a sample from the lbk. so far so very good. Very smooth. Wow what a fermentation though. Looks like my beer may be saved.

ty all. just checked the lbk and it is overflowing with krausen and the carboy is bubbling with about inch and a half of kraussen. Dare I say it... I may get out of this alive hopefully lol.

LMAO. ok ....today was interesting. I was going to put pictures on this one and then.....well....here it goes. I sanitized everything like a good boy, put my ph balancer in with 8 litres of water as per instructions. then put into my ole 5 gallon carboy (make note of that 5 gallon part) I then proce...

Not knowing what was involved, I opened up the kit and ....found a giant bag of wort. yes....a big ole bag of wort. Also found ph balancer for the water I am adding to the wort I am assuming, big package of co...

A couple of other things I would recommend when transitioning to 5 gallons. 1. Brewing software, ---> learn to put your own recipes together ---> saves you money 2. Partial Mash or Steep ---> will add a freshness to your beers that is hard to duplicate with HME's or straight extracts 3. Full volume...

welcome! and yes... mr beer has gone nutso..

Well I know I have been away from the borg for the summer, but man what a summer it was. A friend of mine's father passed away. Turns out he was a wine and beer maker. As my friend doesn't have any interest in brewing himself, he decided to give me all his dad's equipment (honestly I asked him sever...

oh yes....no more chocolate bars in the fermenter i swear lmao.

Please note that I do not have an extra freezer hangin around ( bout a second fridge for my beers instead :)) I always leave my lbks in the basement but am having a bugger of a time keeping temp on a regular basis. Considered using a styrofoam box with a water bottle. Possibly a second cooler just f...

I think my worst beer is either Mongoose, or a bottle from Boundary Bay Brewery. It was a FULL bottle of trub. The most disgusting glass I had ever seen and refused to buy another beer from them.....ever. Like seriously. got any quality control there?
