hello everyone. former entry-level homebrewer here, trying to get back in the game. Last night, I brewed an imperial pale ale kit from Brewers Best kit I purchased on amazon. the brewing process went well, but when I went to pour the yeast packet into the primary, a significant portion of the...

ok. so basically, if i leave them in the bottles, there is no way of saving them? lets say that they dont explode any more... one month from now, should they be bottle conditioned more or less appropriately?

do you think that theres any change that these bottles are salvageable?

thanks for the replies! its entirely possible that the priming sugar was not evenly distributed.. i put it in the bottling bucket first and then siphoned the beer in. i guess i just figured that it would mix. lesson learned. i already have the bottles in a cooler. just added some ice to the...

hey guys, i have a quick question about this IPA that im brewing. i bought this IPA kit from a nearby brewshop and i used some belgian yeast after i brewed this batch last saturday. it has been bubblin' like crazy for the last couple days. my airlock overflowed so i utilized a blow-off tube...

hey there, i started my first batch of pale ale two weeks ago. basically, i added the priming sugar with my finishing hops to my secondary fermenter. did i just completely ruin my batch? will i have to add more priming sugar once im ready to bottle later this week? any help would...

hey there. i brewed my first batch of beer last friday. the pale ale i brewed has been in my primary fermenting bucket for a week and there have not been any significant bubbles in my airlock. there are only very small bubbles on the sides of the airlock and they have not moved for days. is...
