• Posted in thread: Belgian Golden with FG of 1.000 on 04-07-2013 at 05:21 AM
  I brewed a Belgian Golden Ale from a Brewers Best extract kit. It sat in a primary for 7 weeks.
  Bottled it and measured a FG of 1.000, even with temp correction. Tasted great. Is a FG of
  1.000 possibl...

  I've had this Belgian golden in a primary for about 7 weeks. I see these little clusters of
  bubbles on the surface. Does this look like an infection? There is a bit of light reflection on
  the bottom l...

  I used this regular Oxiclean instead of the Oxiclean FREE to clean my better bottle. Is that
  okay?

  Thanks for your input! I made the mistake of filling my carboy past the 5 gallon mark by just
  over a quarter of an inch. My starting gravity was 1.066. The room I am fermenting in is 63
  degrees, unfor...

  If you can get it into a 70F room that would work finehow long should I keep it in the primary?
  It's been 3 weeks. Won't that yeast cake create off flavors if the beer sits on there longer
  than a mont...

  There really isn't a need to secondary it al all. What is the temp now? Belgian yeast likes to
  be warmed up as it finishes, then just condition it in the primary for a couple weeks, then
  bottle/kegHat...

  I have a Belgian Golden Ale that has been sitting in a primary for almost 3 weeks. I plan to
  transfer it to a secondary soon. Should I take 3 days of readings prior to the 3 week mark?(OR)
  Should I ta...

  The temp was 59 degrees so I don't think that was the problem. Any suggestions on methods for
  dry hopping? I will be using a 5 gallon better bottle, then bottling.

  I'll be using a 5 gallon BB for secondary. Do I use sanitized marbles? I would imagine them
  being difficult to remove through the neck. What are the disadvantages I using a hop bag
  without marbles?

  It's hard to get accurate gravity readings with partial boils, often you will not get the wort
  mixed to a uniform density. That could be your problem.That's really interesting! I have been
  reviewing t...
