    No carbonations in bottles

    Batch prime both. Like i said the keg carbonated but the bottles. I never use twist caos. Seal was good. For the barley,i used swing caps and seal was good. Both batch aged for 3 months.

    No carbonations in bottles

    Hi Did an Imperial pale ale and a Barley wine a couple of months ago. Bottled a 12 pack and kegged the ImPA and 18 bottles for the barley wine. None of the bottles carbed but the keg did(no force carb here). Any ideas why?:drunk:

    American Barleywine

    Little trouble here, Beersmith gives me -0.11 qt for the mash-out. I'm using a cooler for my steep process. Is 1 qt/lb good or is it for boiler type steeping? If i use light body single step batch sparge and enter your ratio,it tells me that 2 step,(1.88l,14.95l) of 168 f sparge water to be...

    Chilling after primary?

    Hi Guys. Does anyone chill their beer after primary before racking to any other medium and if so,is there enough yeast in it for bottling?

    What not to do

    Small update: There's fermentation(YES) The kraussen is a thin bubbly layer on top. The 5l of brown stuff is down to a 1/4". All seems well.:D

    What not to do

    If i hadn't pitched the starter in,then i would have took at least 2l,boilled it and dissolve my DME.

    What not to do

    Well i'm at my 13th batch and still making some stupid mistakes along the way. Brewed a cooper's stout with 160g of cocoa powder to make a chocolate stout. Everything is going great. Pour the Cooper's syrup,mixed it,took a sample,pitched the yeast starter i made. Now it's time to clean up...

    First time washing yeast

    So i should check with a hydrometer to see if in fac it did ferment. But usually i would have seen some krauzen stick on the side of the fermenter if indeed the yeast did something right?

    First time washing yeast

    Well i did a starter with my washed wlp005 on saturday. Wednesday,nothing. Instead ,my starter has three layers at the bottom. Brown,white and beige. Got any clues what went wrong. I did a 2 cups water:1/2 cup DME.

    First time washing yeast

    Well i got a needleless 60ml seringe. Sanitized it. Decanted most of the water then using the seringe tried to remove most of the darkess layer. Swirled the slurry then dumped into starter. Here's hoping that it starts to react.

    First time washing yeast
