    Evil Dog IPA not stabilising and should I remove hop bags?

    It was at 1.016 2 days ago and now its about 1.014. However it keeps changing when I take it in and out of the fermenter

    Evil Dog IPA not stabilising and should I remove hop bags?

    Using a hydrometer. Possibly, thats why I'm not sure if I should bottle or not

    Evil Dog IPA not stabilising and should I remove hop bags?

    Hi, I am making an Evil Dog IPA Kit, it has been fermenting for 3 weeks now and my gravity still has not stabilised, the instructions say to add hop bags 1-2 days before bottling, I have added the hop tea bags 2 days ago because I assumed it would be ready by now but its not. Should I simply...

    Do I stir after I add priming sugar?

    I don't understand how it will mix that way if when I add the sugar to the 1st bucket it will be only at the top of the beer

    Do I stir after I add priming sugar?

    Hi, I want to syphon my beer from my bucket to another bucket and then add sugar to the 2nd bucket (before bottling). Do I need to stir the sugar in my 2nd bucket? And if so how vigorously? Thanks

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    The head would just fizz out in a few seconds and the beer would taste sort of yeasty, and I was careful with the trub too. The funny thing is, the first ever batch I did made perfect beer but ever since then using the same method it just turns into fizzy horrible tasting beer

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    Yeah I did add it directly. So what should I do, just chuck it all down the drain??

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    Does anyone know what happens to my beer if I increased it from 23 to 25l? Will the beer taste worse? Should I empty some out? How much sugar should I put in for bottling? It says I need 150g of sugar for 23l so how much should I add for 25l? 163g? I am transferring the beer to a secondary...

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    Trust me I must have spent 5 hours rinsing everything after using VWP. So it must be something else.. I just have no idea what. I make sure the caps are on as tight as possible too

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    I would not leave the sugar, I would bottle straight after putting the sugar in the 2nd fermenter. I keep getting suggested to use a 2nd fermenter when making my brews. My previous brews have been terrible, no head whatsoever, just fizzy beer. So now I am going to try putting the sugar in the...

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    I meant putting it in another fermenter to then add the sugar and then bottle after that

    Had fermenter lid open for hours before adding yeast

    Hi, I added in my wort and topped it to 25l (I had to add ice cubes and wrap a wet towel around the fermenter to cool it down before adding the yeast) I had the lid open for about 5 hours as I let it cool down before adding the yeast at the correct temperature. Is this okay to do? Will it...

    Can I make beer in fermenter whilst wet after cleaning?

    Hey, Just wondering if I am able to start making my next batch straight after cleaning with chemicals and then rinsing. So whilst the fermenter is still wet. Or do I need to wait until the fermenter is dry? Thanks!

    StarSan (ChemSan) just mixed yet PH is bad

    Also if my tap water is bad with StarSan then is it also bad to use for my beer?

    StarSan (ChemSan) just mixed yet PH is bad

    So I bought the distilled white vinegar and its lowest PH was 2.5 (so my ph meter must be working at least somewhat). Checked my StarSan in the water (looks all cloudy now) and the PH was at around 6. What should I do from here? Add more StarSan to the water? Is that it? Or is my tap water just...

    StarSan (ChemSan) just mixed yet PH is bad

    Is it important to check distilled water aswell as the vinegar? Or is just checking vinegar good enough?

    StarSan (ChemSan) just mixed yet PH is bad

    Would I ever have to throw out the distilled water or distilled white vinegar? Or does it pretty much last forever? Just bought some distilled white vinegar, hope this works

    StarSan (ChemSan) just mixed yet PH is bad

    I've lost the box. Just some plain cheap yellow one. There is a screw I would have to turn to calibrate it I am guessing, but I will need to buy those stupid expensive sachets. I've bought some PH strips to try and get a better reading. Since I have only just mixed my starsan in the water...
