    Kegging and time

    I have only made 6 batches so far and have bottled them all. I find it takes a month or two before the beer take good. I have everything I need to keg a batch and just afraid to make the jump. If it takes weeks on the bottle will it take weeks in a keg to start tasking right or with the co2 make...

    Second batch on top of first yeast cake

    I used a Wyeast smack pack - 3944 Belgian wheat yeart. It is going crazy in the box witha STC-1000 set at 21.5c. This is only my 4 batch and I have racked the other 3 batchs. If I don't rack, how long should a leave it in the carboy before I bottle?

    Second batch on top of first yeast cake

    I am fermenting at 73 +/- .3 , would you rack? Is it better to let it stay in the primary and cold crash to clear? What's best for the yeast ? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

    Second batch on top of first yeast cake

    I have a batch of AIH Bluemoon clone going right now. I am thinking about ordering a basic summer wheat extract kit and brewing on the current yeast cake? The few questions I have are 1) is this just a bad idea? 2) Should I rack the Blue Moon after a week to secondary or wait 2 weeks...

    It has a great light flavor. I think this will be a great beer on a hot day working in the yard.

    To cool or not to cool before racking

    Thank you for all the help. I am not going to clod crash. My plan is to go to secondary and add the vanilla bean. I will then wait a week and bottle. This is a beer for my wife and will take her a few months to drink. I sure hope this turns out great, I need her on my side to buy a kegging...

    To cool or not to cool before racking

    Are there then any concerns I'll bring it back up to 70°? Do I need to do it slowly or can I just put the heat on and let it go

    To cool or not to cool before racking

    Would there be any adverse affects to cooling the primary before racking? I am thinking this would help clear the beer before racking to secondary. I would also suspect it would make the yeast cake harder I would then bring it back up to temperature. I am making a vanilla porter Sent from...
