Thanks for the answers, I'll try that next time I order grain and will post here the result.

Hi all, After more than two months from bottling the beer is still gushing (not as much as before though). Chilling it clearly helps prevent the foam formation straight after opening the bottle, but the beer is clearly over carbonated. The important part - it tastes pretty good :-D

Hi all, I have already brewed all grain a few times, but only with barley. I wanted to try with wheat malt as well so I got some and followed the same process as with the barley beer I usually brew. I was so surprised that my OG was extremely low, something like 1.02. Then I did some...

I did a primary fermentation during 4 days and then added some sugar for the secondary, which took 2 weeks. The fermentation was pretty much over when I bottled, although the SG before bottling was 1.015, but I expected this as I added some caramelized sugar.

I just want to do some experiencing of my own. Reading it once was enough, thanks.

Thanks again for the replies. This is my beer after 5 days of bottling: I thought I'd post because even if on the other video the beer gushes, it is very little indeed compared to this. As I said already, I put one in the freezer for a while yesterday and no gushing happened. The one on the...

That makes sense... I will do that. I'll try to post here what happened after 2 weeks if I remember. Thanks to everybody.

I guess they are over primed then... Anyways, thanks for the replies. I tested a beer just 10 minutes ago after putting it inside the freezer for a while and it came much better. I don't have space in the fridge for all of them though so I hope they won't be exploding or anything. It rarely gets...

Maybe I am over priming, but I don't know if this causes the problem. I primed with 250g of sugar for 16L of beer, that is about 15g/L or 5g per bottle of 33 cl. I'm sorry guys I don't do pounds and gallons... :-S Google says this is 2 ounces per US gallon. I was at the Duvel brewery a couple...

Hi all, I brewed my second all grain and yet again had this problem. When I open the beer bottle I get a LOT of foam coming out instantaneously... I think it is because the bubbles form around the sediment that keeps at the bottom. Basically, a lot of this light cream color dusty sediment...

Yeah, I've made syrup a couple of times for cooking purposes. Thanks for the answer, it really helps. So I guess I will be bottling soon enough! I'm also planning to go to Belgium next month with a couple of friends just to drink beer and get lots of ideas for my next recipes. Hopefully I will...

Thanks a lot, that makes me feel safer about it knowing it won't affect the taste. I did indeed dump everything from the kettle into the fermenter after sieving it (removing every particle bigger than a half milimeter). I reckon now that might not be the best way to do it. Anyway, there is...

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here. I'm starting to brew all-grain, as I have done it already with malt extract and want to head for more complexity. My first attempt has been with Munich malt and Dark Caramel malt to yield an OG of 1.044. The fermentation took off rapidly and I think it's about to...
