First time kegging and having some troubles. I hooked everything up and turned the gas on and set it to 12psi. It sounded like the keg was filling with gas and then as I was going to turn it off beer shot up the line and out the regulator. Luckly it doesn't seem to have cause any issues. I left...

I'm not currently ready to to set it up to use and I have a few bits to get done first. Currently I have an extract ale kit fermenting and look to move into grain brewing at some point.

I want to give a quick little backdrop to explain the real cork. I've been making wine for about a year now and I've been entertaining the idea of keeping a few bottles from every batch for a long period of time, we're talking twenty years and the minimal. Why? Purely for fun and because I can...

As the title says, what is the easiest to hardest to brew in a list?

I'm looking at buying some 4.5L demijohns, I have found a recipe that I'd like to try. The recipe states to use 1L honey to 3L water and age for 8m-1y. Considering the demijohn is 4.5L and in total there will 4L in mass I assume that when I shake to mix the honey in it will dissolve somewhat and...

I've been thinking about making my own alcohol for years now. More specifically Rum, however I think that's for another time. I dislike jumping into something without having any understanding or any knowledge on the subject at all. I've been doing some research and I've also watched plenty of...
