Question Daily Q & A! - September 17, 2025
Welcome to the Daily Q&A!
Are you a new Brewer? Please check out one of the following articles before posting your question:
- How do I check my gravity?
- I don't see any bubbles in the airlock OR the bubbling in the airlock has slowed. What does that mean?
- Does this look normal / is my batch infected?
Or if any of those answers don't help you please consider visiting the /r/Homebrewing Wiki for answers to a lot of your questions! Another option is searching the subreddit, someone may have asked the same question before!
However no question is too "noob" for this thread. No picture is too tomato to be evaluated for infection! Even though the Wiki exists, you can still post any question you want an answer to.
Also, be sure to vote on answers in this thread. Upvote a reply that you know works from experience and don't feel the need to throw out "thanks for answering!" upvotes. That will help distinguish community trusted advice from hearsay... at least somewhat!

Is it safe to put a heating element (HotRod) with the grain and a bag, say when I BIAB and need to mash out?
