Brewed a porter. Its in secondary currently. Soaked some charred oak cubes in bourbon. Recipe says to add both the oak and bourbon to the secondary. There is a lot of bourbon not soaked in. Thoughts?

Cool. Do you wait to chill the beer before starting carbonation or just start assuming it will chill as it goes?

I'm getting ready to keg for the 1st time. Ive read many methods of transferring from the fermenter to the keg. I was planning on racking right into the keg then closing it up, sealing it up and chilling overnight before carbonating. I just read about filling with sanitizer, forcing it out...

Just the pack. Based on a few things decided not needed. I've never had a batch not start fermenting.

It had a week to go for the nest by. Did the old fashioned rocking for a few minutes which always worked.

I brewed a milk stout yesterday with no problems. Pitched a WL English ale yeast that looked a little suspicious. It had slightly separated. Almost 24 hours later no activity at all...no bubbling and no krausen. Is it possible to grab more yeast and try pitching it again?

Cool, this is obviously my first lol. Thanks and good luck.

It is indeed

Has anyone used the Big Mouth Bubbler Depth Charge setup for dry hopping? If so, when did you attach it...at the beginning of secondary after racking it from primary or later in the secondary when getting ready to dry hop?

How long would you reboil for in order to add more hops...the full 60 minutes or less?

The provided wort will be just below 30 IBU'S and each group will be assigned 3-4 hops to use anyway they want.

Yes. They are making a NE IPA wort and we will be broken into groups that are assigned specific hops to use. We will bring our final product back 2 months after.

My local brewery is having a competition soon where we pick up 5 gallons of wort they have made that day and then we do with it what we want. I've never does this before. My question is when I get it home how do I start? Do I reboil it for 60 minutes so I can additional hops? Do I add...

Didn't use any Irish Moss

Believe the final gravity was 1.020. Bottled it and amhoping for the best lol.
