I know it's gotta be done fermenting after 4 weeks. I will take a gravity reading, just wanted you're thought's. I know alot of people are skipping secondary nowaday's, just was wondering if 4 weeks is long enough in a fermenter before bottling. And it's a Honey Amber Ale.

2nd batch has been in primary for 4 weeks as of today, so my question is, should I bottle today or wait a bit longer? :rockin:

A beer vacation, wow! I would love that!!!

Brew more cheer! :mug:

As for Jet Dry, you don't want to use it with bottles. It will kill your head retention and consequently you'll be pouring beers with no head. If I have Jet Dry in my dishwasher now and use it but then do a Star San rinse would I be OK? :mug:

Where do you buy Oxyclean? Online or can you get it at Walmart or something....

Thanks Tallman! :mug:

Ok, but what about this cold crashing thing? :drunk: I guess I need to invest in another primary bucket.... So what temp. to store my Hefe in while it's carbonating?

Yooper, I have a question for you. I have my first ever batch in primary now since sunday(Rasberry Wheat Hefeweisen,extract kit w/ white labs yeast), when I get 3 consecutive hydrometer readings I want to transfer to secondary just so I can get my pipeline going, but I'm confused from over...

Wild west, you win for best avatar!

Thanks....:mug:

I was kinda wondering about the boil time as well, I read to put my wort chiller in my wort at the 50 minute mark to sanitize it, well I did and my temp. dropped like 15* so it took 15 minutes to get to boiling again so I went over my 60 minute mark by 15 extra minutes was this a smart thing to do?

I love pictures!!!! Look's Badass my friend!
