New to brewing. I have a 5 gal batch of blonde ale that has been in primary almost 2 weeks. Active fermentation seems to be done, but I'm likely going to leave in for another week just because don't have time to bottle yet ... In the meantime I'm toying with the idea of dry hopping with 1 oz of...

The last time no grassy or off flavors and I dry hopped 8 days. The batch I bottled, however, failed to carbonate properly (not 100% sure what went wrong, but I suspect I either did not use enough priming sugar to bottle and/or the majority of the priming sugar solution was at the bottom of the...

To get the bags out probably use pliers. I purposely divided the hops up into 3 bags vs. putting the whole 16 oz in one bag Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I just put 16 oz of various aroma hops for dry hopping in my maharaja clone which has been fermenting for over 3 weeks (meant to start dry hopping 10 days ago, but it was still actively fermenting and getting bubbles all the way until yesterday). Question for the forum: last time I dry...

@Rahmdog. Thanks for the suggestion. I have been checking. So far the temp of the water has only been fluctuating a few tenths of a degree. I also noticed that the temp on my heater doesn't not correspond to the temp of the water (heater tends to run a couple degrees cooler). My question...

So I set up my fermentator and (so far) all is going well. I have a Maharaja clone that I brewed yesterday fermenting in my 50 degree garage at a constant 68 degrees (give or take a few tenths of a degree). Pictures of the set up are attached. Wrapped in the black trash bags surrounding the...

Thanks for all the great info! I have ordered a couple 300 watt aquarium heaters, a pump and a cheap electric thermometer. Hopefully will have them in week or so and be ready to brew! Once set up I will take pic and post. This winter my garage temps got down pretty low (probably in the 30...

I'm in the process of trying to renovate my brew set up to keep all my brewing activities contained in my garage. In this regard, space is not an issue but maintaining a constant temperature for fermentation is. I've got a full size refrigerator and kegerator in the garage, so if and when I...

Thank you all for the advice. It is definitely actively fermenting now (I decided to wait it out rather than re-pitch). Now I'm slightly worried about the fermentation temperature... I've been trying to keep it around 75 (I read Belgium yeasts like it slightly warmer, plus I had thought it may...
