I am assuming that it is a 20 min steep?

You are my hero. Thanks Chillen'

Here's the other thread.... No definite answer but a few clues to head in the right direction. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/white-stout-444036/

Hey Folks, I recently received an email newsletter from Austin Homebrew Supply informing me that they had released their limited addition White Christmas Stout ingredient kit. It sold out in less than 2 hours. Does ANYONE have the recipe for this?

Ok, time to wrap up this thread. We had our homebrewers meeting last night and went over the general format. Being the first competition there was input from members to change up the competition a little bit in order to make it a little more anonymous for the judges... IE they wouldn't have to...

So it's the bottle/keg aging that is better off "young," that makes a little more sense. You'll have to forgive me, I'm still finding my way in the homebrew world.

I always hear that Wheat's don't take as long in primary. I've got a similar 5g recipe batch in primary right now. I'm sitting at 10 days right now with temps 66-70 and still has a slow bubble coming out of my airlock. I haven't checked gravity yet since I was planning on waiting 2 weeks before...

I'd just like to clarify that the judge stacking is a guess and observation only. I've been known to be wrong before. The good thing that comes out of this is that all the proceeds from the sale of his winning beer will go to a charity of his choosing.

AND, it's unfortunate that you didn't get any feedback on your brew. They said that they would hand out any tasting comments at the next meeting so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Whitey, I ended up not entering...that means you know who I am now lol. For the rest... I wasn't able to enter because I had to work till 1:30 and the registration at the brewery started at 11:30 with a mandatory meeting at noon. Sucks. They sold out of judges tickets right before I got there...

Update... Homebrew comp has now finished. The winner brought in 20 of his friends/family to vote for him wiping out the rest of the competition. I won't participate in a popularity contest in future competitions. There has to be some sense of anonymity in order to prevent stacking the deck. It...

So here's a question.... I think my beer is over carbed, I have bubbles in solution lots of bubbles... Will this go down by itself? The fist sample I took was at 12 days. It was heady and had tons of bubbles in solution. There were no off flavors that I could taste at this point. I'll sample...

I've been in bottles for 12 days now so I guess it's a bit early. I'll take a look at the video as soon as my boss stops bugging me.

Can anything be done to fix an over carbonated bottle of beer? I have a full batch that I'm trying to fix. Pop the caps and recap everything just to release the pressure and hope that it balances out?

I hope I don't hijack this thread but what about over carb'd beer? Is there a way to tame them down? Crack the bottles open and then recap? Bad idea?
