I boil the priming sugar with some water and at it to the beer. I haven't primed each bottle since i started brewing about a year ago.

No, only when bottling. I am only using buckets, been thinking about a fermonster but haven't bought one yet. That's interesting, my Blonde ale was bottled when it was really hot and was bad from the start. Started out bottling from the primary and adding sugar in every bottle, will try that...

Hello, started brewing last year and have now made 25 batches this far. Have had the occasional bad batch before but never multiple. In may i made an dr smurtos golden ale that was good after 2-3 weeks but then became undrinkable after 4 weeks, i remember it had a burning throat feeling...

I have seen the thread and i will do some of the mods in there but will try crushing some grains first. I tightened it, crushed some grains and did a brew, efficiency was lower than the recipe called for so i need to tighten it some more.

Hello, I got a Corona mill a few weeks ago and was trying to crush with it today, Had some crushed grain for reference(store bought). What do you think?

I have now tasted my Two Hearted IPA, the soapy taste is still there however much less than before bottling, the dry hoped version is a lot worse. The APA had similar soapy taste but less. I have some leftover Centennial hops and i am wondering if i can "test" it somehow? Can i dry hop the hops...

Something interesting is that i bought some ingredients in bulk and Two Hearted was my 4th brew from this bulk order. My next brew(which i brewed last weekend)was a American Pale Ale with both amarillo(3 oz) and centennial(3 oz). Will try it in a few days.

Great Tips revvy! The dip tube idea is great, works without it but it's a bit tricky. However for me i think putting the spigot as low as possible would do the trick. Regarding the bottle filler, does it matter what kind of bottles i have(size) or can i fill the bottles to the top no matter...

Yea i guess that's the case for the biggest breweries at least. Still a lot of people love this beer and don't feel the soapy taste. I bottled the last of the batch yesterday, will try one in 2 weeks and see what the taste is like.

I meant to write trying this again with other hops. Thank you i changed the country now. This is my 8th brew so i have not tried alot of different hops just yet. I did a single hop with citra and that one turn out really good. I diluted the batch a few days ago in hope of reducing the soapy...

I have only the following hops, 1 oz mosaic, 1.5oz citra and 1oz amarillo I will probably give this another try, hopefully i have a better result.

Don't live in the US and checked stored where i lived, haven't seen anyone selling this beer. Thank you, i will skip dry hopping then.

Hello, A few months ago i brewed an IPA with cascade hops which tasted soapy, last weekend i brewed a Bells Two Hearted IPA with only centennial hops, today i took a sample and it tasted soapy too. After some googling i found other people that think these two hops has a soapy taste. I know...

Thanks everyone, seems like there is nothing to worry about:)

Rburrelli: This was a Red Ale, it's not the color of the beer i was wondering about but the streams of purple/blue. Bracconiere, I was in the garage and actually it can be the light. I will look into this. jtvann: This was my 7th brew

Hello, I use a Grainfather and today when i was cooling and transfering the beer it looked like this(has happened before). Have i used too much star san?
