in the same boat collins. Let me know what you find!

Out of curiousity if I wanted to add champagne yeast how would I go about doing that?

i would think after 6 months of no carb then you wont have any after year

Its about 9.2 ABV. I'll give it until 2013.

I left my Belgian in Primary for 1 month and then in secondary for 2. I added the appropriate amount of sugar and let it sit for another month around 70 degrees. I opened one up and it tasted awesome but sweet, and wasn't really carbed up at all. Very very slight carbonation but clearly...

I'm excited for the hefe as it will hopefully be my "show off" beer to friends and family. My good friends will love the others, but my parents, sisters, girls i know won't touch a belgian or ale. But everyone loves a hefe in the summer!

I can't. I really really want to I'm building a house and in my parents place until it's done. No room. Starting December I will be though

I'm not following your math

Yes, those kits are supposed to be self contained so they contain all the fermentables. Also, you said you added even more sugar after it was in the 1.1's. I would think you are in the 7% range.

Haven't even bottled my first brew but have 15 gallons fermenting right now. - Belgian tripel (in secondary) - Jamil's evil twin (end of first week in primary) - Hefeweizen (Day 2) The belgian is a little dark but already tastes awesome, cant imagine it in a few months. Jamil's evil...

I tasted it after 5 days (couldn't wait). It is amazing already, cant wait to see where it ends up

its a batch of jamil's even twin. Second brew. Just had to switch to a homemade blowoff. Came home just as teh krausen was reaching the airlock. Its going strong

what did you get it out with? Yea it was clean and sanitized, I actually think I have a better chance of introducing infections fishing it out then leaving it in there

it came with my beer kit, only used for this batch and the last.

just the tube part. It feel into the carboy when taking a hydro reading. It was cleaned and sanitized so not to worried. I thought about trying to get it out but I think it will be basically impossible. I'm just going to leave it until bottling. Thoughts?

whether or not it should be bitter depends on what beer you made. recipe? hop schedule?

does this plan sound alright?

Not in a rush, have another brewing that I expect to finish first. Just want to make sure I do this right as its my first brew :) I'll leave it for another week(3 total) then put into secondary for a month. Then bottles

So I took a gravity reading and the tripel is down to 1.02 from 1.083. Right in the FG range and putting me at 8.3 ABV. There is still a pretty big krausen on top but shouldn't this fall? Not sure if I should put into secondary or leave it in primary. Or if its almost ready to bottle and I can...

My secondary is a 5 gallon carboy not 6.5. Considering this is in a 6.5 gallon and its all the way to the brim, I dont think I want to use the 5 gallon for primary (I guess with a blow off I could) I'm going to give it 2 weeks from brew date (next weekend) and I'll take a gravity reading...
