    Yeast taste developing, green beer?

    Hey, I have a beer that has been in the primary for 2 and a half weeks. FG readings are stable at 1.016 (OG 1.055). I used US-04. Was planning to bottle on the weekend but am having second thoughts. Over the past couple of days the beer has begun to pick up a yeasty taste (although it is...

    Fast carbonation?

    Hey, Bottled my first batch about 48 hours ago. Now, when I got to the end of bottling, there was enough beer to fill one half of a 640ml bottle. I had already added the 2 carb drops, but decided I would open this one after a few days to see how things were going. So, I opened it today and...

    Carb Drops

    Hey, Getting ready to bottle my first batch. The instructions for the carb tablets I am going to use suggest 2 drops for 650-750ml bottles. Mine are 640. I presume it won't make too much of a difference to use 2 drops in these bottles, or should I be breaking them up? Thanks

    Emergency Sanitization

    Hey, Quick question: was taking a hydro sample today (day 13 of fermentation) and my airlock fell to the floor. I didn't have any sanitizing agent on hand (need to visit the store), so I decided to boil some water in a kettle and put the end of the airlock that is in contact with the...

    Question about Temps

    Hey Everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster! Had a couple of questions about temps of my second homebrew batch. I had trouble cooling the wort to below 75 degrees f in about an hour and 10 minutes (airtight container). Unfortunately, I made plans to go out, so I had to pitch my yeast...
