carbonation

Greetings everyone, I recently kegged my first beer and I’m pretty excited about the whole process. I set the PSI to 30 and forced carbed for about 36 hours based on a recommendation from my LHBS because I need it for an event this weekend (I purged CO2 after rolling the keg around too), and...

I've looked around online and tried to find a solution to my problem, but have come up short everywhere I look. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been brewing and bottling beer for several years and decided to make the leap to keg system. I bought everything I needed to get going for...

Hello everyone, i'm trying to keep as much oxygen out of my beer as possible and was wondering if I got a recipe that asks for some dextrose/sugar in it to dry the beer out and up a bit of alcohol could I just simply take some of that sugar from the kettle addition and save it later to put it in...

I'm brewing an IPA using a Hornindal Kveik blend from Escarpment Laboratories. Targeting 6.5-7% ABV. No cold crash (the fermenter won't fit in my fridge). My concern is, this yeast is very high flocculation. In both the package I got from the lab, and the starter I made, the yeast basically...

So I have been force carbing using “set it and forget” around 10–11 psi at 39F for about a week now. I poured one tonight and it seems to be just about carbed where I want it so my question is.... is it safe to leave on 10 psi for the remainder of its serving (will probably drink it all in the...

I'm looking to build a jockey ideally for use during the summer camping season. I can get ice, but I'll likely be in a warm climate (ie: the keg itself won't be chilled). I'd also like to make use of existing 50'-1/2 stainless tubing I have from an immersion chiller. I've balanced a CO2...

Hello all, Sorry if this has been answered but having a hard time finding the answer to my question... I live overseas and will be returning to the U.S. for 2 months in the month of July-August, hot months. I was wanting to do a few batches of different style beers to the let them age while we...

Hello guys, I was wondering if whirfloc addition could decrease yeast effectivity. Since I started using them I noticed that my beer is getting out kind of flat. Not sure if this could be due the whirfloc or any other factor when bottling the beer. I would appreciate if any of you guys have...

I just bottled 5 gallons of hefeweizen yesterday. Fermented for 15 days at around 68 degrees. I used an online priming sugar calculator to calculate how much I needed. I ended up going with 6.3 oz of corn sugar to bring 5 gallons to a co2 volume of 3.3. Looking back, I'm thinking this may have...

My mother's inner hippy came out at some point and she bought a $200 kombucha kit from KombuchaKamp last year. She had never had kombucha nor has she ever a sustained a hobby very long. She decided that she didn't like how it taste so I have been gifted an old SCOBY and a bunch of other stuff...

dumb question, found my answer. :)

Hello guys, Read a few threads but didn't find the answer. I'm doing the carbonation with the provided sugar pouch from the company and wait 2 weeks. When I serve the beer for the first time I get a very good beer with a lot of bubbles. Let's say we drink half of the keg. A week later I...

When using a carb'ing chart, should I be using PSI setting for the lowest temp I carb at (31*F) or my pouring temp of 38*? Current method is crash cooling beer to 30'ish, transfer to keg and using the chart for that temp, wait about a week. Then bring up to serving temp and revisit chart for...

I'm wondering if beer carbonates faster at higher pressures, or if the CO2 dissolves at a constant rate no matter what the head pressure? Does anyone know the science behind this? I work at a homebrew shop and we have been having a debate on this. Some of the folks here have been turning...

Title says it all - I bottled a sorghum beer, a recipe I have brewed several times before. usually after about a week I have good signs of carbonation, and its just a matter of giving it another week or two to really push teh co2 into the beer fo a good long lasting carbonation. This last batch...

I just finished writing a long explanation of my problem and when I clicked submit post, it gave me 404 error, so I'm gonna condense. First homebrew batch ever: 5 gal Nut Brown Ale extract kit primary: one week secondary: one week bottled for 2 weeks My problem: I bottled into some...

In regards to bottle bombs, Can anyone tell me if there is typical time in which you can be certain your bottles are no longer at risk of exploding? If they are going to explode, is there typically a time frame in which you can expect it to happen. I just bottled a big ben pale ale, and...

Cheers fellow home brewers. I am new to home brewing ( about a year or so ) and have always primed my bottles before bottling. I'm considering using the method of batch priming, adding the sugar solution to the bottling bucket and filling the bottles, mostly to save time and effort. My...
