This should be a sticky.

Brewed 5 gallons of English Mild yesterday. 7606 + 5 = 7611 gallons Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

+5 gal of Irish Stout= 7050.5 gal Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Myself and two other home brewing friends hosting a home brew tasting night. We offered quite a selection and I think we converted a couple BMC friends into the finer taste of craft brewing. Mission accomplished. We had lots of fun. Anyone else throw a party like this?

Sweet! Thanks!

Maybe try rousing the yeast in the bottles up by turning upside down (gently) then turning back over and swirling (gently) and wait another week. ....Thoughts on this from our more experienced members?

I just use a spoon and pour really slow. Takes a lot of practice to get it right.

Not a rookie mistake at all. As long as you sanitize you hydrometer, there is nothing wrong with reading from the fermenter. Cheers!

+1

+ 5 gal honey brown + 5 gal of honey wheat = 2919 Total

I might add... I sanitized all of my coffee making equipment first and brought the water to make the coffee to a boil, which is standard French press process.

I just did a vanilla coffee porter. I added a pot of French pressed coffee into the bottling bucket, racked and then bottled.

Don't worry to much man. Cool it down when you get home. You may have created something totally unique and awesome. I had a similar situation and my beer still tasted ok. Might not be what you were shooting for though. RDWHAHB Cheers!

+1 or you could end up with gushing bottles.

IMO If your doing a wheat beer or Belgian style, honey pairs pretty well with orange peel and coriander.
