it is 5 gallons, which is what the recipe called for. I will be using a bottling bucket. right now it is in a glass carboy Unfortunately I do not see the "Belgian Dark Strong Ale" on the list in that calculator.

Hello, I made this recipe and after waiting 2 months in fermentation I have decided to finally bottle. My question is, how much sugar do I need to add before bottling? It does not specify in the recipe and this is only my 2nd batch of beer. (first was calculated for me)...

One more question. The 'trub' in the bottom, I do NOT transfer that to the secondary right?

Thanks for the replys. I will let it set for a few more weeks and then move it to the secondary. I will also do the hydrometer test over a few days and see how it goes.

Nice! Thanks For Sharing! So when do I transfer to the second fermentation bucket?

I made this recipe which is a 3 phils clone http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/three-philosophers-clone-1 It is my second beer to make so I am unsure how good it will be but I am looking foward to it. How close does that recipe compare to the one on here?

So for my 2nd beer I decided I would make a 3 philosophers (one of my favorites) clone http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/three-philosophers-clone-1 My question is, I brewed this on 2/8/2014 (11 days ago), When should I transfer to the 2nd fermenter. I was reading that the sediment, which is...

I dont know what DME or DMS is so I will look them up after typing this. The really confusing part is that my kit came with a carboy and a 6.5 gallon bucket with tap. The airlock to relieve the co2 had a stopper that only fit the bucket lid (the carboy is a much bigger hole). Thats why I...

I do not have the package but I remember it saying dry malt extract. It was a white/light yellow very fine power.

It did say to move to a second bucket after a few days as part of the 'alternative method'. I did not add sugar, the homebrew store told me to not mix in the sugar but instead use the barley/wheat that they sold me (I as trying to get a beer similar to aventenous) Here is the muttons I...

When I go to bottle, is the yeast at the top or at the bottom? I am guessing that I want to leave the sediment at the bottom and not bottle that.

Thanks for the advice. It was a no boil kit but I did put the can in hot water since the directions said to to turn the contents into a liquid. Should I move it into the bucket and let it sit? I might transfer it to the carboy so that I can make a second batch of something different.

Did I mess up? Last saturday I went to my local brew shop and bought this kit. http://www.homebrewhq.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=1064 I got a can of muttons bock mix and barley/wheat. The are the steps I took 1. Cleaned everything with starsan 2. Added hot water to my bucket...

What is a false bottom for?
