I'm going to be brewing a Dubbel for one of my next batches, after I brew a (hopefully) good pale ale for a nice summer brew. For the Dubbel I have two ounces of hops coming. 1 oz Tettnang pellets 1 oz Saaz Plugs Planning on using the full oz of Tettnang at 60 for the bittering...

I've got two AG recipes on order, Thanks to Brewmasters Warehouse. My question is is there a recommended time/method for storage of the kits? These will be my first attempts at AG, and while I'll do the first kit rather quickly. I'd rather hold the second kit to give me time to go over my...

Just put my thrid batch, a BB Kolsch kit, into bottles last night. Is there a problem with storing the bottles at 55 degrees or so? Will the low temperature inhibit the yeast from providing enough action to carbonate the bottles?

Is a 5-gallon carboy, with a blow-off tube, large enough for a promary fermenter? Would 6-gallon be better?
