Edited to add ... I just had a closer look at my keg .. and well it is 5 US gallons .. So now I am tending to believe the mark that was on my primary for 5 US gallons is in the wrong place .. I never measured the water when adding I just filled it to the line geesh anyway now about 20 batches...

But what do you do with the excess .. I can only get 3/4 of my 5 gall into the corny:confused:

I am getting company and I cannot drink the dozen or so glasses left in keg .. I want to empty it and clean everything and refill with a new batch, to force carb. Is there a way to save what is already in there .. I Do not have a bottling gun? Thanks So much Jan:confused:

I have been called away tomorrow and the beer is due to be bottled a few days after. Will it damage it to stay in the secondary an extra 10 days. This is only my second batch. I have no idea:confused: Please advise as soon as you can. Tia Jan

You see this thread is very usefull I had no idea what the extra piece of equipment was that came with my kit so it sat unused as I carefully tipped my HEAVY carboy for my sample TY now I know and will be very happy to use it next time Yes I did bottle into 12oz bottles Cheers, Jan :mug:

I'm brand new to this and was just curious ... I guess it was a bad thing to do but perhaps it is showing some of us different things that can happen. Thank you all for your input Signed Work In Progress Jan :mug:

ohoh and here i thought it was great! I used 3/4 cup of the sugar as suggested for ales I dissolved the sugar in 2 cups of boiling water then mixed into the batch slowly. I did take the reading at fridge temp <<< so no I did not correct it. :o I will try again tomorrow on a room temp...

Just curious I suppose as this is my first batch. It went from about 1.012 back up to 1.030 so well i was suprised. Perhaps irrelevant? It tastes great ... not real fizzy but definately carbonated ... its a few days early. tia jan
