I see, that makes sense! I didn't even consider that it could be the different strains of yeast. Thanks

Primary for 1 week. (5 days 60C 2 days 70C) The ipa was not with sediment (along with the porter) the red ale was without. The OG of red ale was 1.060 fg 1.015. OG of the IPA was 1.075 FG 1.014, both extract. ABV 6 and 8, yeast for red ale was notingham ale yeast , and the ipa was safale...

Hi I have three beers (two bottled, one in secondary) and found that two of them (porter and IPA) had krausen stuck to the sides and yeast sediment at the bottom but the third (red ale) had none? Just wondering why that is, the only one that was filtered before primary was the porter which...

Hi all, I am new to home brewing and have 24 beers at 22°C and 60 at 10-15°C (garage). Will the bottles in the garage carbonate, given time? I fermented in the garage and found that it fermented totally fine and tasted crisp and exactly as I wanted.

Thanks so much! That article answers all my questions and is basically exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again!

I want it to be a definite easily identifiable taste but not overpowering. Also was hoping for some citrus aroma which i expect i...

Hi all , Edit: Wondering if anyone has a basic recipe for a witbier (LME) that i could modify to suit my needs or if anyone has enough knowledge that its easy for them to put together a simple recipe... also is there anything bad with adding actual juices of oranges (fermenting into...

Thanks all! Bottling on saturday, have to guestimate the volume too add dextrose ...anybody have any idea what the lines on a five gallon carboy represent (the little ridges as in this picture...

Hi all! I began brewing my first IPA and Red Ale two weeks ago. I took the OG and the IPA was 1.075 and the Red Ale was 1.060. The beers seem to be within reasonable OG for their styles but i did not add enough water to the wort in primary (currently in secondary) and now have about 3.5...
