I got another gusher and I only used 4 ounces priming sugar for this stout!! Wtf? Is there truth to leaving it in the fridge first?

Even if it seems to have stopped? Does the line need to be sanitized?

It's been 24 hours.

If blow off occurred, but now the airlock is now bubbling like normal, do I need to worry about blow off occurring again or should it be okay?

Has anyone had any experience with lami labels from kinkos?

No - SEPA

Are there any upcoming home brew competitions? Where can I find that info? Was hoping there would be a thread on here with that info.

If only I could create a Brett intentionally! I guess one bucket also means the bottling bucket...?

Brett. Brought to homebrew shop and we all agreed. Has the sweet and sour characteristics associated with Brett. Does that change the approach with the plastic buckets at all?

Actually, I somehow got a true Brett out of it. Doesn't taste too bad. Problem is I have to save the bottling bucket too. They both smell like the sour.

I accidentally created a sour stout. My plastic bucket still has the smell - can I still use it, or only for sour beers now? Is there anyway to get it out of the bucket?

I used Star San for the first time - 1 oz to five gallons of water. There were left over suds in my carboy...is this okay?

I didn't have the adapter for my wort chiller yet, so I had to hook it up to the spigot outside. Left it outside covered in foil for a little too long and got Brett in my stout. If you drink it as a sour stout, it has the definite characteristics. Seems like most sours are born out of mistakes.

IPAs come out very well on Nitro. Smooooth. Yum.
