    Hop leaves in the bottle

    I bottled a 90 min ipa clone last night. I dry hopped directly in the primary. I've dry hopped with no muslin bags before and did it for this batch. The 90 minute ipa clone called for a large amount of hops to dry hop with. When transferring to the bottling bucket I did my best to not get hops...

    Final gravity ?

    I forgot to take my FG reading before adding my priming sugar. With the sugar it was 1.017. Any one know how much 5oz of corn sugar in 1 cup of h2o will add to the reading. Its not a big deal just wondering. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Home Brew mobile app

    Just oxygenated my beer :(

    I brewed a barley wine two weeks ago. Last night I was transfering to a seconday. I put a muslin bag on the end of my syphon to reduce sediment transfer. Well it put a restriction on the syphon. The syphon started sucking in and mixing lots or air with the beer. 2-3 gallons were probably aerated...
