Anyone sanitize their bottles and then press and seal them after they take them out of dish water if they can't bottle that day?

and if converting to extract these are basically steeping grains? 1.25lb crystal 20L 1lb carapils 0.5lb caravienne

OK newbie question. Primary fermentation 10 days. Rack to secondays and let it sit dry hopping for 12 days and then 5 days on the peppers for a total of 27 days in fermentation?

Dwait. it is this one https://www.cool-brewing.com/ It works really well. A frozen 1 gallon jug kept the beer too low to ferment about 58-59 and it was lasting 2 days. I let it warm up and then used a 12oz bottle and it was about 68. I am trying a frozen 2 liter to see where that puts me.

Well Looks like temp was problem. The beer is now sitting stable at 66. No bubbles, but definitely a solid Krausen started. That cool brewing fermentation cooler worked much better than I imagined. it is keeping beer at 66 with just a 12 ounce of frozen water.

with it setting dormate for so going on 3 days can I expect any off flavors?

Ok I will give warming it up a shot. I am using the new cool brewing bag and I wasn't here to monitor it

Gravity doesn't appear to have changed at all

No rim at all. Looks just like it did when I poured it in the bucket

Hey guys need advice. I brewed up a hef Tuesday. I went out of town and left it in charge of my wife. THe brew was kept about 59-63 while I was gone. My wife kept telling me that she saw no activity in the airlock, but as I know from reading there doesn't mean anything. Well when I got...

The reason I ask is that I am planning a blackberry and orange hef. We leave for vacation for a week, but if I get it brewed friday it will have 13 days in before we leave, but only 3 days with black berryberries being added in at 10 days. So not sure what to do.

So how long do you have to worry about temp?

Glad to hear yours went well. Mine is still young yet, but after about a week and a half I sampled and it was so bad I dumped it out after 2 drinks. Still young so there is some hope, but I am not holding my breath. I will be doing things completely different for my next attempt at watermelon

Would you use a black berry Puree for this or frozen whole Black berries. I don't know that I will have fresh available.

Lol I see then I add fruit. Reading. It comes in handy:) So is the 2 teaspoons for 5 gallons right?

Ok. First I have heard of this. So it looks like a couple of teaspoons for 5 gallons? Do I add it when I add the fruit or before?

Thanks guys. As usual this place is absolute awesome resource.

So why are instructions always seem to be so off?

So got watermelon ale. said to bottle after 14 days. It took a gravity reading when I put in 2ndary to add flavoring. It was within finish range. It is now 21 days and I am just now getting to bottling. What can I expect if anything?
