I seem to be having the same problem. I bottled two weeks ago and there is absolutly no carbonation. I used 1 1/8 cup of priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch. When i open the bottle it makes a tsst sound but no head what so ever! does higher alcohol beer take longer? does liquid yeast take longer...

what river? where is it?

Very nice catches. I have tried the whole catfish thing (as well as bass and carp) but around my parts i have only been able to catch bullheaded catfish (portland OR). I guess it is too cold around here.

Nothing like getting all sh1tfaced and going poaching for deer at 2:00am. I have gotten a few this way.

I have never been too drunk to get the general to stand at attention. Can say that i havent been drunk enough to get it up though.

Sounds like i would get along with you great, i love the drop top!:mug: I have been wanting to get into kegging for sometime but as someone already pointed out "homebrewers are tightwads". right now i got an amber ale in my secondary and will be bottling here this weekend. You want to do a beer...

First off i would have to say that this batch is going like crazy. I hit peak fermentation at 36 hours. 1 bubble every 1.5 seconds. This continued for 2 1/2 days at this rate. Then it dropped to 1 bubble every 7 seconds and stayed there for 3 days. Meanwhile almost 3" of krausen developed on the...

Well i know that most of these are only available on the west coast but here is a few to add to the list: Widmer- drop top, snow plow Bridgeport- ropewalk (amber ale) New belgium brewery- 1554 (since fat tire is allready listed) Westmalle- Dubbel Pabst Blue Ribbon ( just joking)

I came home from work to find a jimmy on my fermenter..., you know what that means:rockin:

All right, fermentation rates have increased quite a bit and foam is starting to develope on top, things are fine, thank you

it has been fermenting for 16 hours. I do not have a hydrometer (it was broke in the move) so i did not take an intial reading. I did shake the pack after i smacked it. The yeast package said i could either pour the contents directly into the wort or to smack the pack and let sit for at least 3...

Well i started my first batch of beer in a couple years last night and for the first time i am using liquid yeast. I have a quik question about liguid yeast and temps. I did not use a starter as i probably should have. I used Wyeast 1056 and i popped the little bag inside. I let it sit for about...

Hmm, i dont know the difference between L.M.E. or D.M.E.. This is only my 7th batch of beer and i am still a begginer. I went to the brewshop and bought "9lb amber extract syrup". I cooked it up tonite and it tasted pretty good thus far. I know the flavor will change a lot but i think that this...

by the way, how would a poison oak honey primer be for this beer?

I was mistaken about the yeast, I think i used nottinghams in the past (cant really remember, i know it was dry though) I went with wyeast 1056 liquid yeast, hopefully it will be allright. thanks everyone for your help.
