Beginning Homebrewer
One extract brew completed (not so great).One all-grain Blonde Ale completed (overshot on the gravity, thought it tasted like sanitizer, but I gave it 3 months and it tasted excellent!).
One all-grain Cherry Stout (switched to all-glass fermentation)

Beer tastes like sanitizer Thanks for the answers. I think you are both right. I think I will just switch to using all glass fermentation to be on the safe side. Being able to check on the beer's fermentation and clearing visually is handy and fun too. |

Cherry Stout advice So for a base stout for the beer, what would you recommend for ingredients? I'd like it to be a somewhat malty and smooth stout, a little chocolaty. I was thinking .25lbs Black Patent, .5lbs CaraPils, .75lbs American Chocolate, .5lbs American Crystal 80L, .75lbs Roasted Barley, 1.0lbs Flaked Barley, 7.0lbs American Two-row Pale. Based on this recipe: tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/203 Using the tasty brew calculator, that should leave my beer with 56.2 gravity points. Will that recipe work? Will it give it enough color/flavor? |

Dry Hopping without a bag @Dean Brundage Yes, the volume is 5 gallons. @brewchez I also added some hops at late boil for aroma, but I've never done dry hopping, so I wanted to try it out for fun. I think I am going to try it without a bag this time, and then do it with a bag next time and maybe I'll notice a difference. |

Using Grolsch “Premium Lager” bottles for bottling @JackSmith If my brew turned out well (which it didn't), I would drink it out of the glass. But I've tried it out of a glass (the better ones that didn't skunk a bit in the Grolsch bottles) and out of the bottle and it doesn't make much difference because the beer isn't good. Once I make a good brew, I will drink only out of the glass. @PJ I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. Drink beer and get good bottles. Fail on both accounts. @Dean Brundage The skunkiness would have come prior to putting my beer in it. My beer was never exposed to light (besides the fridge light). |

Using Grolsch “Premium Lager” bottles for bottling I had no idea you were supposed to boil the caps and gaskets. I just set them in a bowl of sanitizer. |
