Thanks for the link, it is very helpful. I guess the question I need to figure out now is...is a white IPA an American ale or a Belgian ale? I guess it just boils down to preference.
How much priming sugar should I use to bottle a five gallon batch of white IPA? My homebrew shop only had corn sugar in one pound bags and I know that is way too much.
When I finish a beer I always rinse out the dregs and put the bottle in the dishwasher. Then I put the bottle in storage until I am ready to bottle my beer. The bottles get sanitized immediately before beer goes in them.
I want to brew the Belgian Strong Golden Ale extract kit from Norhern Brewer. This one: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/belgian-strong-golden-ale-extract-kit.html
Will it be okay if I leave the beer in the primary fermenter on the yeast (Wyeast 1388) for 2.5 to 3 months then go straight to...
My OG was 1.10 and my ABV is around 9.4%. Is that high enough for champagne yeast? I really don't like S-04 and would prefer to keep it away from my beer.
I used WLP 007, Dry Eglish Ale, to brew a RIS back in December. By the time I get to bottling it will have been aging for six months. I will be adding some yeast to the bottling bucket and am wondering if there are any reccomendations for what a good yeast to use for bottling would be.
I've already got 3 months aging at temps around 55-60. Then I moved it to a carboy and got another month and a half in the low 60s. I am just trying to decide what I should do with it for the last month since I won't be home to bottle until then.
In December 2012 I brewed the Cannonball Stout extract kit from Austin Homebrew. It had an OG of 1.10. I let the beer sit in the primary fermenter until the third week in March when I moved it to a carboy.
I planned on leaving it in the carboy in the garage until June then bottling it when I...
I bought the white IPA kit using liquid malt extract from Austin Homebrew Supply. I was overcome by events and not able to brew when I thought I was going to. I am now getting ready to go out of town for work and won't be back until June 2013. Will my kit still be good to brew in June? The...
I have a 1.6 liter starter of WLP400 (White Labs Belgian Wit) going for a white IPA. Normally I would put the starter in the fridge for 24 hours and decant all the spent fluid and just pitch the yeast.
I am afraid that with such low flocculation I will be throwing out most of my yeast if I...
I am looking at an old ale recipe kit on morebeer.com and it says that the beer can be aged on Hungarian or French oak cubes to add a bit of flavor. I went to the section of their website that has the oak cubes and found a lot of options. Can someone tell me what the difference in flavor will be...
I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout right before Christmas. I let it ferment at about 68 degrees for almost three weeks. At that point I had to leave town on an extended business trip. My wife did not want the fermenter full of beer hanging around in the closet while I was gone so I moved the...
