Al Gore is a joke. _______________ Unless you live in a cave, you understand that climate change is a real thing.

My temp has been in the 60-70 range. Is this bad? it is a lager yeast, california common, steam beer, but its been so hott out (global warming) in march and the temperatures have been all off, so my room has been up and down. Is this bad? Should I bring it down from 70 or leave it?

Should I keep it at 70 or bring it back down to 65? Also, How long after fermentation is done do you keep it in the primary (without doing a secondary)

If I am about to bottle from my 6.5 gallon bucket with a spigot, can I just hook up the beer bottle straight to the spigot? Or do I need a tube from the spigot to the bottle? I think I got a siphon that came with the kit, so I don't know if I should use that or not, or how.

Thanks!. I am shooting for a steam beer. I thought 65 would be a good temp but it was really hot out today so it rose. My bucket is not in a tub of water or anything, it is just on the ground, is this ok? and do you think since it has been an inconsistent temperature that it may be ready to...

I am confused. If I wanted to switch to kegging my beer, how do I get the beer inside of my keg?

it wasn't too smokey.. I had a black ipa once and I didnt like that. It wasn't so bitter, more smooth but dark and cloudy, mellow deep taste. Really tough to describe sorry haha

It could have been the victory one, I am going to try that.

Hmm that one looks real good. BUT it is a little darker! Not black but maybe almost purple looking? I had the beer in New York city at some random pub they had it on draft. Dark, cloudy, not too much alcohol (i don't think) , and felt so mellow and deep.

I once had this beer that was SO good. It was really cloud but also dark. Not black maybe not even brown, maybe even a little lighter but still dark. Almost purple but it wasn't purple.. It was so good though, it was almost like an IPA but not so bitter. It just tasted so smooth. Anyone know a...
