    Mash Bag vs Malt Pipe

    I've used a bag in my Brewzilla, others have too. Last time I didn't, no problems. I mostly use it to contain the grain, I haven't had a stuck mash.

    9.2% BGSA bottle conditioning inconsistency 3 months after fermentation began, 2 months after bottling

    I don't know. I made a big Belgian once that needed six months in the bottle to mature. It stayed good for a couple of years, then fell off. I think the only thing you can do is keep aging. If it's oxidized or infected it will probably get worse. Keep us posted. Welcome aboard!

    Pumpernickel Light Porter (?)

    It looks like an interesting recipe. One website I looked at recommended Carafa only up to 5% of your recipe. I think the rye and Vienna will give you a nice base. Welcome aboard, keep us posted.

    Unique "shaken baby" mead issue

    Welcome aboard! I haven't made mead, nor shaken any of my beers intentionally. I do think that chilling for a while didn't hurt it. It may not have absorbed much oxygen if it was venting CO2. In any case, there's not much you can do now. Good luck, keep us posted.

    Bottling home made root beer

    I haven't made that recipe, but I did bottle MrBeer in 12oz glass, so I would think you can too.

    Re-pitching a yeast that had produced excess sulfur

    Sulfur smell fermenting, or finished? I wouldn't worry if it only smelled while fermenting.

    Mystery problem about 8 days into ferment - TWICE

    Welcome aboard! I've made hard cider only once in recent years, using just two different pasteurized ciders from mills. In addition to the parts that I made with yeast, I let one spontaneously ferment. It did so quickly, so the pasteurization was not completely effective. So you might have...

    FB has groups for fermenting vegetables. I bought a book to learn.

    Years long infections

    I don't think it's the Starsan, I keep mine for several months.

    Where to post questions about fermented cucumbers (pickles)?

    I think you have started a new thread, and that's okay. I ferment sauerkraut, but not pickles yet.

    Years long infections

    I also fought persistent infections. In the end I think it was my bottling sanitation. Have you asked anyone to confirm the taste? Sometimes brewers are overly critical of their own product.

    what canna do with it?

    The juice or sugar will carbonate it as long as there is some yeast alive to do it.

    Ringwood (WLP005) aeration thoughts

    I've never aerated beyond a good shake or aggressive pour, so I can't say. If it makes a positive difference, stick with it.

    Does a CO2 Leak Cause a Decrease in Humidity?

    I don't test the humidity in my kegerator, and I'm not a scientist or refrigerator tech. But I suspect that the bottled CO2 has zero moisture in it. If the gas was leaking into the fridge it would displace the air and any moisture.
