So I made a batch of wheat beer that I plan on being Peach Wheat ... After 2 weeks in Primary, I racked onto 5lbs of peaches to sit for another 2 weeks before kegging ... My question is, the fructose in the peaches seems to have started a second fermentation ... How will this work out...

Ok because Lactose is Non-Ferm Sugar ... What would happen if you added a little to a nice Chocolate Stout in the Secoundary for a few weeks? ... Do you think it would just sweeten it up a little or would it not work and add an off taste??? Just trying to play around and see what I...

Ok stupid question time ... If I want the same Guiness Stout Nitro head ... Do I just carb up my Stout on 100% Nitro ... Just fill my CO2 tank with Nitro ... Or do I need both Nitro and CO2?

I want to kick up my Chocolate Flavor on my Double Chocolate Stout ... I Added some Coco at the end of the boil already ... But want more :rockin: What would be the best thing to add to my secondary when I rack it ... Coco Nibs? Chocolate Chips? Baking Chocolate? Coco extract? :drunk:

What is the best Mash Ratio Qts/LBS?

Ok ... so I have been waiting a while to try this beer ... so today I found a pub with a few cans ... Don't get me wrong it was a GREAT stout, nice taste and mouth feel ... However ... Chocolate, I got NOTHING ... Very very disapointed in that part ... It was not much more then a Guiness Clone...

Do you always Sparge with 168-170 F. water? ... Sorry for the stupid question ... Just learning about AG and seems like every thing I read says to use this temp range. (Guessing it is to stop the enzyme process)

New to BeerSmith ... I have a recipe I created and want to now adjust it for efficiency % so it will adjust the grain amounts I need to buy for my Grainbill. (I want to buy a little more grain to make up for lower efficiency) Right now I have it set to 4 lbs of pale and 4 lbs of wheat at 72%...

So I have a stout that is almost done fermenting ... I was wondering ... Could I add some Vanilla extract when I keg it to give it some vanilla flavor? If so how much would you add to a 5g batch? (I know most folks add two beans to secoundary - but I thought about this after the fact)

Any one got a AG Cherry Wheat Beer Smith Recipe they would like to share :)

Any one have a Cream Ale Recipe for BeerSmith they would like to share :)

If I am going to set and forget my keg for 1 week on 10 PSI ... Do I still need to Prime with Corn Sugar? ... I know if I am force Kegging I don't have to ... Was not sure with Set and forget. :drunk: Also should I add some Honey for head retention ... if so how much?

Thought I would through this out here ... I was looking for some thing different for my Dad for xmas ... I got a T-shirt and some stickers from them ... Nice stuff ... :) What Would JESUS Brew? :mug:

I am about ready to go to Keg with a batch ... Thing is my CO2 reg is not in so I do not have all my gear for my setup yet ... So the question is ... If I Rack my Secoundary to my Corny ... Is it ok to seal it up and let it sit with out CO2 on it? And if so how long can it sit before I get...

Does this look normal? First photo is 1 day after brewing the secound is 5 days later ... The head is gone but I can still see a lot of activity in the carboy (churning) ... Is this normal? (Sorry in advance for being a Newb) :drunk:

If I mix up some StarSan and leave it in a spray bottle (air tight) ... How long will it keep?

So let's just say your rubber bung for the airlock got pushed through and is now in your 6.5 G Glass Carboy :( .... How do you get it back out? :drunk:

If I use Bottled Spring Water from Costco ... Do I still need to boil it before topping Carboy off with it during Brewing?
