kool, i didn't think you can wait a day, next time i'll be more patient... I'm good friends with a guy who opened his own homebrew store so I get sweet deals
I was making a new batch of IPA, when I remembered I was supposed to go out with my gf... so naturally I started rushing to finish. While I was rushing I completely stop thinking. First I put a lid on my wort while it was boiling, and it boiled over... then when I finally got the wort in the...
I'm never sure how much hops I should use. I know lighter beers should have less, and darker beers can be more heavily hopped. But how do you know how much you should use?
Also can some one throw in the usage ratio between hop pellets and whole hops.
I would suggest if you are kegging your beer, to take a chance and see if it comes out good.
Personaly - if your bottling it - to much work for the risk.
What type of beer where you making and how far into fermentation where you?
Ok, thanks... so you guys suggest that I do add yeast at the end of the lagger period.
Should I just add with the priming sugar, or should I put it in a pint of water first?
And should I gentling stir it in or add it while racking to bottling bucket this way it stirs it-self in?
I'll be making my first lagger in a couple of days and I heard that after 3 months of lagering at 3C (37F) there should be enough yeast to bottle condition but the guy at the homebrew store told me that I shouldn't lager that long... he told me maybe one week or two tops.
Anyway, I plan on...
Do I just have to and bottling sugar? Or do i have to add more yeast?
Brewing details bellow, sound good? What do you suggest I change?
I plan on keeping it in primary for 3 weeks at 11-15 C (52-58 F)
Then raise temp to room temp for 2 days (Too kill butterscotch flavors)
Then lager in...
I'm interested! Vienna Brewer --> I guess tht falls into the lager category. 15$ isn't that much, paypal sounds good... even if i never used it b4
