Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it.

And Yes its an extract brew, with some grain steaping at the start.

Is there a way to combat this? like a shorter boil or shaking it up after the initial fermentation?

Ive been making beer for about 2 years now off and on. Most of my beers turn out really good. It seems to me that my fermentation is stabilized or something. No matter what I do my final reading on my Hydrometer is 1.020, I can use 10 lbs of extract, two packs of yeast or just one and have a...

I have been brewing for about a year now and I am having trouble getting my beer to clear. I have been making alot of Pale Ale's and some Ambers.

I have a recipe for a barley wine but it does not say any thing about priming at bottleing time. I have looked at other recipe's and some tell you to prime and some say nothing about it. Any Ideas?

I have the start of a Raspberry wheat in my fermenter and have taken several Hydo readings after about 6 or 7 days and it is still at 1.020, it started at 1.050. The recip calls for adding the raspberry when it's moved to the secondary. Now I have like a layer of trub at the top, floating in the...

I have a friend, No really I do, but he did not put the right amount sugar in a bottling time and all the beer is flat. The question that was posed is, If you go and take all the caps off and put in the carbonation drops, pellets will it turn out in the end and be a carbonated beer?

if I did add the vodka would I do it during the boil or just befor I add the yeast?

No, Please Don't get me rong, I dont want to get hammered, I am really into the process of making beer and enjoy it alot. I just think that with a little higher ABV % I t would make it even that much better. I do use a hydrometer and am using some recipe from my local brew store. The side affect...

I have a brew in my secondary and what I was wondering is if I need to put it in another carboy or bucket before I put it into bottles or can I just bottle it out of the secondary. I was also wondering about the bottle caps, should I boil them for a few minuest before I use them, or what is the...

I have an Apple beer in my secondary and the gravity is at1.000. Thier seems to be some bubbles coming up and making foam at the top, and when I put it in my beaker to take a hydro reading you could see the bubbles, Like carbonation in it? Is that carbonation? And if I add the 3/4 cup sugar and...
