I'm a web developer who likes to brew my own beer especially the dark stuff. Oh yeah and I like homebrewing so much I build a website dedicated to it: http://brewershub.com/

Can I leave the sulphites out of my store bought wine kits Denny, can you provide any insight on to what those effects may be on the flavors by leaving them out? Wondering if there is a way to compensate for leaving them out to obtain the desired flavor. |

Brew In A Bag one-gallon batch? Oh, forgot to put it in my answer, Whole Foods sells these kits and ingredient kits (at least they do in Boston). If you have a local Whole Foods I would check it out. Or check out the locator to find stores that sell it here: brooklynbrewshop.com/locator |

Hop variety resources More specifically the hops category: brew-dudes.com/category/hops where they blog about the profile of an individual variety occasionally. |

What is the oily film on the top of my kit beer When you have this oily shimmer on the top of your beer does that beer not have very good hear retention? This is what I have seen in my beers where this shimmer is present. I get a nice pour with a good head and it disappears in seconds. I haven't been able to figure that one out. Also, the bubbles in these beers are always larger. Not sure what happened, I always use the same priming sugar in every beer (glucose/corn sugar) and I've always attributed it to this oil (which I always thought came from the hops but I'm not totally sure). |

How do you calculate how much extract to add if you don't hit your target gravity pre-boil? Fixed the missing parens in the first half of the equation so the people do not get confused by the sample numbers, gotta make sure your PEMDAS is right! |

Chilling with top-off water This isn't relevant to you question but are you currently brewing batches from extract ingredient kits? If so and you are doing full 5 gallon boils, check the recipe, if it is formulated for a 2.5 or 3g boil then doing a full boil is going to change the results of the beer, specifically the hop utilization. Hop utilization increases as the boil SG decreases, so if the recipe is formulated for a 3 gallon boil and you are doing a 5g boil, then you can use less hops to achieve the IBUs of the recipe. Not sure the conversion formula, just figured I'd mention it. |

Priming a Tap-A-Draft system So the PET bottles can handle the normal pressure that the glass bottles can from carbonation? I guess it doesn't matter, it'll just be less CO2 from the cartridge that will need to be dispensed from the tap at the start to maintain the pressure. Thanks, I was kind of hoping this would be the answer, much easier for bottling than doing 2 different sugar mixtures. I just found it interesting that they were saying to use 1/3 cup per 5 gallons for the TAD compared to the normal 5 oz. per 5 g for glass bottles. |

Is an immersion chiller really necessary? Whoops 3/8" not 1/2" for my above comment |
