What was your recipe if you don't mind me asking?

I haven't brewed in about a year, because of a move. Going to order the stuff to do a 3 Floyd's Gumball Head clone this weekend. So, hopefully next weekend I will be back brewing.

Thanks for the quick responses.

If I pop all the caps and then recap, will the finished product still have enough carbonation?

I can't believe that after about 8 batches I am just not getting my first few bottle bombs. I am about 99.9% sure that it is because I put too much priming sugar in when bottling. Anyway, I have had them in bottle for about 3 weeks now and only have had 2 bombs. I know I could un cap and re...

As long as you sanitize your turkey baster you will be fine. Unless you sneeze in your beer or dump some mold in you will be fine. And even then you never know. Just remember to sanitize and you will be a happy brewer.

Da dum....crash.

Revvy you just need to copy that post and paste as necessary. I swear you have had that similar post over 497 times of your 7485 total.

I may be brewing Friday. I haven't been brewing for a few months so I guess now would be the time to get back going. Nothing like a lazy Friday. Eat leftovers, brew beer, put up the xmas tree.

I would just spend the $35 bucks on a cooler and SS braid and you are golden. Look for Flyguy's thread on how to make it. I like DIY projects but I would go with a easier setup that you know will work. Just my 2 cents though.

No, the stuff at the bottom is the yeast. You want to put that in the beer and decant off the beer on top of it. With such a big starter you don't need all that extra 'beer'.

67 to 22 is only about 67% attenuation. You should hope for at least 75%. Going down to 10 would only be 85%. I would give it time as I am sure you will get there. Patience.

Yes, the longer the more the flavors have time to meld and harsh flavors will subside. Your beer is green and will need more time. Patience is a (brewing) virtue my friend.

You nailed it right on the head. Unless you have an HPLC and equipment to digest the hops you will never be able to know for sure. I guess being a chemist would allow me to do that, but I still need to get the chemicals for the standards. /end geek rant

Unlucky with the leaky keg.

If you put the lid on and cover the gromet with your finger and shake the crap out of it you will get very good results. I don't remember who posted it, but someone did an experiment using different type of aeration techniques and there is little to no difference it you give it a real good...
