I'm far past worrying, as its all down the beer tube so to speak. Was a past brew, pilsner. I just didn't know if the fact that the stopper/air lock had any play in the carbonation of the beer itself. I realize now by previous feedback the gas flowing out of the carbos wouldn't allow oxygen in...

Fermentation definitely hadn't completed. After I found my stopper and airlock I immediately washed and sanitized. Then replaced, fermentation took another day and a half.

Every single beer was carbonated evenly. Different size bottles too. I did add priming sugar to secondary. I am thinking temp was to high. Thanks for the food for thought, it will help me pay more attention.

My stopper and airlock blew off. So, I find my stopper in one place and after about 5 minutes of searching find my airlock. So as this is about my 4th batch I freaking out. So I read up on the forums and I believe it was Revy saying something along the lines of yeast can cure about anything if...

I suppose mixing yeast is not a good ideal? Meaning I could add ale yeast Safale s-04 to the mix. 5 gallons total, used 1.5 gallons to boil, poorest wort into 2 gallons of water and topped off to 5 gallons

Made edit to statements hopefully it will help. I under stand what you were saying about top off water and that may be the case. I was going to use an ale yeast, but changed my mind at the last moment.

So I am thinking that the OG will be higher than what it turned out. OG was 1.043. I used 3 lbs of LME Amber unhopped and 3 lbs of DME Amber, 2 Ozs of Styrian Golding after extracts added and 1 Oz of U k Fuggle at 30 min. Total 35 Minute boil. Cool down to 85 degrees Fahrenheit over 30 minutes...

I have brewed about seven batches so far. All being DME and LME. Also, made a beer with two pounds of DME and three and a half pounds of cane sugar. I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about with the cidery taste. Now I know and think I'll be sticking with extract or try all grain. Thanks...
