Checking on my oatmeal stout bottles this morning and noticed this. I don't remember the "crack" being there when I bottled last Saturday. None of the other bottles have any signs so I placed this one in a plastic storage container with lid.

Well after looking over the forums to get some ideas I came up with this. I can condition 4 cases of bottles on the shelf or 8 if I stack(49 bottles of Oatmeal Stout in picture). I really want to start using kegs soon but this will do until then. Thanks for the ideas. :mug:

I am able to ferment at 64-68 degrees in my house but after that I have no way of keeping my bottles that temp while they carbonate. I use a tub and water for fermenting. I have an extra fridge but it's in a carport so it's not the best place in cold months. Will bottle conditioning at 72...

I have tried a lot of their beers and picked up some Georgia Brown the other day. Kinda had a tootsie roll smell to it and when I tasted it an IPA was my first thought. I kept working on it and half way down I started getting a headache but didn't think much of it. Since I had a headache I...

I think I made the starter to early (My first time doing one.) as it had very little activity when I pitched. The day before the airlock would bubble aevery 1 or 2 sec. Did I just make it too early and now I basically did a pitchable tube where it may take a day or so? Most of what I have...

I was thinking of saving some of the slurry from my Oatmeal Stout to pitch in an Imperial I have coming up. My question is how long will slurry keep if I have it in a growler in my fridge?

I will be making a Honey Nut Brown Ale this weekend and I got the White Labs pitchable tube for yeast. From what I have read you get more consistent results from liquid yeast but there is a lag time after it is pitched. Is there anyway to avoid this? Can a starter be made with a liquid...

This is my third batch of beer ever and the first batch I've done at my house so I am still very new to brewing. The other batches were at a friends house in his basement and I think temp. may have something to do with this question. The room I have the primary in is about 72 degrees and the...
