I'm brewing a hefeweizen right now and I reached my FG and I'm ready to bottle. My beer has been in the primary fermenter for 3 weeks now. I have to to add 4.1 ounces of dextrose to my beer. Should I rack it into my PET carboy and wash my primary out and then re-rack it into my primary bucket or...

My hefe as been stuck at 1.020-1.022 for the last 2 weeks in the primary. What can I do to get it lower?

I just checked the brew to do a hydrometer reading and noticed this on top. I still can't get the hefe below 1.020 either. I used a Fermentis WB-06 yeast. I have been stuck on 1.020 for the last 5 days and now I'm on day 13 in the primary. Here's the pictures. Is this normal or something...

So today is day 8 in the primary. I'm brewing a hefe and since my bubbling had came to a stop I would do a hydro sample to see if I'm done. I have never had any issues do samples on my last batch but this one I could not get a good accurate reading. Sometimes it would look like 1.020 and if I...

I didn't think it would hurt anything since it was in a bucket but the more and more I've been thinking about it the more concern I have grown. I know in a plastic or glass carboy it will ruin your beer but what about the primary bucket? I have been primary fermenting in the bucket for about 8...

Alright, I'm doing my second brew and I went to my local brewery and had the owner put together a Hefe Oat brew kit together. Here are the list of ingredients. Yeast: Fermentis Safbrew WB-06 Malts/ Fermentables: Muntons Dry Light Extract 2lbs Muntons Dry Wheat Extract 3lbs Oats...

I haven't made this yet but my local brewer put this together for me. Hopefully, I can look around and figure out the procedures to making the brew. It is a Hefe Oat. Yeast: Safbrew WB-06 Malts/Fermentables: Muntons Dry Light Extract 2.00 lb Muntons Dry Wheat Extract 3.00 lb Oats...

Like the title states I cracked open my first brew tonight. I did what everyone recommends, I drank one after a couple of days to get an idea of why its better to wait. I bottled the beers on Monday and today is Friday and that's a little over 5 days and the beer already tasted great. I didn't...

I'm stoked. I just bottled 48 Pilsners tonight. I had about 3 or 4 beers left over in my bottling bucket. I need to pay more attention to when I brewing my wort next time so I don't dilute the beer as much. I tried a little cup of my brew and it tasted a little watery but wasn't too bad. I'm...

I have had my brew in the secondary fermentor for about 5 days now. I put it in the fridge because it was recommended to be at around 40F since its a Pilsner brew. My question is does the light hurt my beer when I briefly open my refrigerator door? It's not continuous light but only 3-10...

I am doing the True Brew Pilsner kit for my first beer brew ever. I had an original gravity of 1.045 and waited a week to get my final and it said 1.016-8ish and I waited 3 more days and it hasn't changed. It was suppose to get into the 1.01-1.012 range on the brew sheet that came in the kit...

I started my fermentation in my primary fermenter on Monday which was about 6 days ago. I had an original hydrometer reading of 1.050 for a Pilsner brew. It has been fermenting in my garage which the temperature has been roughly 58-62F the entire time it has been fermenting. Should I try to put...

So, I think I goofed up a little. My directions said to make my wort 1 1/2 gallons which I did. It said to have 3 gallons of cool water to cool the wort down to 90degrees, which I did. What I did wrong was to fill up the rest of the water up to 5 gallons like the instructions indicated. It...
