Well, if you followed the original recipe, then adding sugar won't get you any bottle carb. The yeast has choked out at this point. Your best bet, in my opinion, is to bottle before fermentation completes, or to cap your secondary rather than airlock. This will at least get you light carb...

I know this has "bad idea" written all over it, but for my second 1G batch, when I moved it to secondary, I put the screw cap on, instead of an air lock. The continuing ferment did force some CO2 into the mix. After another month, I bottled. It isn't very carbonated, but it isn't completely...

And it was on the other night. Beer only seemed to have worse results, beer and liquor mix was not as severe. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ok! First bottle is in the glass. Needless to say is a bit sweeter than the original, but I like that. Proper roasting of the oatmeal has come thru in the flavor as well. I will definitely have a batch of this new version on hand at all times. I just hope the ferment mistake is not a crucial...

So, slightly rerailing with slight humor. My wife was an anthropology major in college until her money ran out. I generally feel she is smarter than me. So I was having her proof my recent posts. Then she stops me and says, "Why did you start drinking beer anyway? You've always liked wine...

I am not rejecting most advancements, I still have to rely on commercial farms for my fresh produce and meat. My local grocery store has far better zucchini etc than my backyard (or nearby forest) could possibly provide. But being called a moron for choosing a particular diet, is a lot like...

Well actually... My wife and I have been following a form of the paleo diet for 2 years now, with the exception that we eat fermented dairy (yogurt and cheese) whereas "strict" is dairy free. Combined we lost 130 pounds, both have more energy than we ever have, less joint pain, and are...

Yes both ways. Just didn't type it that way. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Well, I drive by a sewage treatment plant on my way home from work. On reaction days, I close my car windows for their sake. That's what I mean by gassy. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I got to go to moerlein's lager house in Cincinnati, and a guy looks thru the beer menu, and after carefully reading the house selection, orders a 22 oz Crispin cider, after a few sips spends the rest of the evening grumbling about it to his wife. $#!+... That was me. This gluten intolerance is...

On the nutritionist topic, but not about beer... My brother's girl friend told my wife that her nutritionist that goat cheese wasn't dairy. And sorry about my contribution to the "I'm not a hipster" derailment. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

*roaring applause* I have been thrown into the hipster category on more than 1 occasion. I wore a black hoodie when I was 10. Years before pop punk made it the thing. People thought I was into it, I wasn't. I buy clothes at the thrift store because $3 for a pair of pants my job can destroy in...

It's back in the bucket, dumped it before work so I didn't have time to let it warm up from fridge temp. When I get home from work I'm going to check for ferm restarting and if I see activity, I'll let it go, otherwise, repitch. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Imagine if he couldn't keep the dorm room over the summer... And, if you were the guy to get that room the next semester... "there's this yellow stuff in the tub. Someone couldn't pee THAT much. Perhaps I'll taste it. Oh hey! It's mead" Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Didn't wait the week... Decided to crack one open tonight. Looks like I'll be dumping it all back into the bucket and repitching. Other than being far too sweet, it isn't so bad... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The OG was 1.080. The original ingredients were doubled, plus 1# of d-90, topped up to 5g. I moved it to the fridge the morning after bottling. I'll put a note on the beer fridge saying "careful with the oatmeal" or something to that effect. After another week or so, I'll have one and see what...

Oops. I forgot to take a FG reading, before I dumped priming sugar. It's been fermenting for 2 weeks, thought it should be enough. After 5oz of corn sugar was added to the 5 gallons, I took the reading. 1.040. Presumably not done, right? My work schedule is tight soon so I bottled anyway...

Having made a pair of ceiling tiles myself, too much water on your first roast. On a recent attempt, I spread the oats on a cookie sheet and misted it with a squirt bottle. I roasted at 300, misting it every 15 minutes on the first hour, then regularly checking on it until the color was right...
