I put 80g of sugar for 5 gal so I defiantly think I used too little sugar. Also I am using 500ml bottles. The room was a steady 70f . I have also tried to add more sugar and recap but still no change

Well I messed up. Can someone give me advise. I didn't put enough sugar to properly prime my beers and after a month they are still flat. Can I save them and how would I do it. I thought about popping the tops putting them back in a carbon with some sugar and yeast. Would it work?

I am getting ready to bottle a tooheys dry lager. I am using 500ml bottles and dextrose. But not sure how much to use. Any help would be great. The directions got thrown out.

Thank you I guess I'll just have someone look at it I'll be gone six months

The instructions said 10 days in primary and 14 or so in secondary for fg of 1.01 to 1.012 but I used a different yeast and not the one that came with it. Still wondering if there is anything else I can do to get it down.

I didn't put any yeast cake in. My OG was 1.084 and I don't want to wast the beer. I especially don't want to have busted bottles either.

SO I moved my beer from my primary to my secondary way too soon. Now it's been 17 days an is sitting at 1.028 went down .002 in a week. My question is if I put some sugar in there will it liven up the yeast to finish down to 1.01 or should I put in some yeast nutrient? I am set to deploy any day...

Thanks for the advice.

OK that is what I figured. I don't have corn sugar I have dextrose should that be the same?

Ok so I was about to bottle and got a reading of 1.03 my OG was 1.08. The directions say I should be at 1.01 or 1.012. How can i get it down I think I moved it to a second fermentation too soon. Should I put some sugar in and try and see if it will start to ferment some more? Or how much should...

It was an extract beer. In the instructions it said that after 10 days to rack it into a secondary for a couple weeks before bottling. I am still trying to learn. I do some reading and watch videos. This is my second batch. My first was ok but not strong at all was like drinking o'douls.

I brewed up a 2.5 gal batch of diablo brew. The OG was 1.08 I fermented for 9 days. The air lock would still bubble about once a minute so I decided to rack it into a second fermenter in hopes to not have it take on an off taste. After I did this I took another gravity reading and got 1.04. I...

Gold The yeast pack said 70-75. The room I have my wart in is a steady 60 degrees. I think I just need to wait. We also did a raspberry weat but used the dry yeast and I think my girl did a starter according to her instructions and boy did that take off. I was glad I checked on it as the air...
