I'm making 5 gal brews with 5 oz of priming sugar before bottling

I add priming sugar right before I bottle

Have brewed multiple batches of brew that come out fizzy and taste too much like carbonation. Wondering if anyone has an ingredient or idea of how to control this. Thanks

I have made three batches of beer so far and they have all ended up with a thin line of sediment in the bottles. I don't mind this but people I share beer with ask about it. I am wondering what techniques I can use to help clear the beer. I filter my beers but still seems to have left over...

Thanks for the info

Have a batch of black ale fermenting now in a plastic bucket. It is going on it sexing week of fermenting. It's OG was 1.082. I am wondering if I should use secondary fermenting or go ahead and bottle and 2 weeks. If I use secondary fermenting should I add new yeast cells to the batch?

I wasn't thinking of doing a secondary. I have read that primary fermenting brings out a better tasting and clear beer. It's my third batch so im new to it.

I just made a 5 gallon batch of dark ale. I plan on only doing primary fermentation. I am wondering if anyone had a good idea of how long I should allow for this batch to ferment before bottling? The OG is 1.082
