    corn growing

    I am going to grow some corn to make a Yuengling style lager. I was wandering what all I have to do to prepare my corn after harvest. As far as drying, grinding, or anything else I need to do to make raw corn ready to brew. Thanks Ben

    kegging

    This may be a dumb quesion, but I've only had my lunch break to research, and i've found a deal on somethings, but does a sankey tap fit on a corney keg without much trouble or is it just two totally different fittings? I've been thinking about getting into kegging Thanks, Ben

    bottling a lager

    I am bottling my first lager soon. I've lagered at 55F for 1 month then at 35F for one month. When I go to bottle condition do I need to do that at room temp or keep it cold. Will the yeast still work enough at that cold temp to ferment for carbonation? Thanks, Ben

    lagering

    If you are going to lager for 60 days or so will there still be enough yeast left to bottle condition? May be a silly question, but I'd hate to wait that long then not be able to carbonate?

    spoiled?

    Does anyone know how to tell, when looking at it that beer in the fermenter is spoiled? I moved from primary to secondary and I took a reading out, it tasted fine, but in the secondary it has bubbles w/ white kind of attached to them. Is this normal? Thanks, Benny

    I have my first A/G fermenting. Should I cold crash it between the primary and secondary fermenter? Do I need to add anything if I do that? Also should I cold crash it before bottling and should I add anything then? Another question is if I cold crash it before I bottle should I let the temp...
