Hahaha! It's been hard!!! and painful! now, I'll need to get out of it!!!!! Thanks for the info! (english is not my first language ;P )

Hi, I'm brewing a West Coast IPA kit from festa brew and the ambiant temperature is 20C. It started to make bubbles 24 hours after putting the yeast in the wort. so it's really bubbling a lot since 5 days now and it's still really active. I'm in a glass carboy, only one fermenter. it's like...

I followed your advices guys and got a bucket with a spigot ;-) I'll try it tonight! :) Thanks to all of you

Ok, I'll ask my retailer for a bottling bucket ;-P Thanks for good answers guys :)

Hi, How can I add my sugar priming in the wort before bottling if I only have one fermenter? Without mixing the yeast cake? Should I put the dextrose solution right in each bottle? If yes, what quantity for a 330ml bottle and what concentration for the solution? Is there another way...

Thanks for all good answers! It'll end like this... nothing moved... I might have made a mistake somewhere... It's been bottled with only 6g/L of dextrose and if it bubbles, I'll be really lucky... It will be my first 'session' beer if it taste good, and is not to heavy with all the residual...

THANKS SO MUCH, I'LL TRY, I'll keep you updated

Great! :) I'll go get a bottling bucket then! The only time I tried Solo fermenter technic, I wasted my beer because of a contamination... malolactic I dont remember the name (found a Fly in my bucket) So I thought it's been caused by the to large head space in the fermenter for the 3 weeks ferm...

Ok, Guess what! I started to bottle and in the mid process I've been struck by 'the fact that I forgot to add dextrose to the wort for refermentation in the bottle!!' For sure I'm not the only human which forgot this one day... Fortunately, I use swing top bottles. So I added a few drops of...

Hi guys, I'm brewing a festa brew pale ale kit and added one pound of pale dry malt extract to raise the initial density. OG: 1065 FG: could this be 1018 There is no more activity, no more clarification in the second fermenter. Been in the primary for 2 weeks and 1 keek in the second...
