I just finished my first all grain brew. I thought all was well until my final volume was about a half gallon off. I was doing a 6 gallon batch. Plus my gravity was a little high, I was hoping for 1.060 and ended up with 1.064. Can I just add some water?
I have a very nice Beer Engine being sent to me from my father inlaw in England. Does anybody know if you can hook these up to a corny keg? I would love to have some cask conditioned home brew.
My last batch, a Belgian Abbey, tasted great, but many of the bottles did not carbonate. I followed the same sanitizing procedures as always. Any idea why this happened, and is there anything I can do to save this batch.
:confused:
I am getting ready to bottle a Belgian Abbey , and was hoping to give it some Duval type carbonation. Do I just use more priming sugar, or I have heard about just adding table sugar.
Thanks
I had some issues with my first batch of homebrew. Of course I bottled it and am hoping for the best. I am very tempted to sample a bottle to see if it is on the right track. Is that a bad thing?
Thanks
Just did my first yeast starter and I was wondering has anyone ever had one blow off? I have it in a nice dark 70 deg. spot, but I would hate to see a mess if it goes a little crazy.
Thanks
My first shot at an IPA. What do you think?
2 pounds light DME
6.5 pounds amber LME
1 pound caramel crystal 40L
1 pound caravienne

1 oz. amarllo boiled 30 minutes
1 oz cascade Yakima boiled 10 minutes
1 oz cascade Yakima dry hopped
wyeast 1272...
I am getting ready to start second batch of home brew. Last time I used an ingredient kit with a dry yeast. This time I am going with my own recipe and Wyeast 1272. Beersmith says my o.g. should be around 1.066. Do I need to do a yeast starter?
Thanks
