I want to bottle this weekend but forgot to buy corn sugar. dont have any dme or lme. not sure if it matters but its a philadelphia pale ale a yards clone. Will I be ok to use 2/3 cup of regular sugar?
I have been brwing a little over a year and i hate bottling. I am ready to start kegging. Its in the northern brewer magazine for 66 bucks. I planned on buying a used kegerator but saw this and thought I would see what people thought.
I am trying a new sanitizer B.E.S.T I soaked my bottles and inverted them and let dry. Then filled one with water and thought I tasted the sanitizer should I rinse after I take bottles out of sanitizer the directions were not to clear. I am bottling now. am I ok
I have been brewing about a year. Started with kits and moved on to recipes so im no rookie but still have alot of questions and alot more to learn. this site have helped me alot.Im looking for a book thats practical and not so technical. if that makes sense.thanks
Yes it was a five gallon batch, I thought I shook it good. tThat makes sense. Its been fermenting good for two days. thought about taking another reading but didnt want to interupt. should I?
I just brewed a pale ale from a recipe from my lhbs. I was trying to get close to a beer from yards brewing co. The philadelphia pale ale.my grains were 1lb of briess crystal that i steeped. Then I added 3.3 lb of briess pilsen lme. Then added 1oz of centennial hop pelet. boiled 40 min added...
what is the advantage? Can you do it if your extract or partial mashing? I am still kinda new at this I only have done 5 batches of extract and doing a recipe from this forum partial mash later this week. Seem like more options if you get away from the kits.
Im still a newbe ive done about 7 brews all extract. Im looking for something like a shocktop or bue moon or something like that. I want to try to clone something I like because I dont like all weat beers. So if you dont have a recipe than maybe recomend one to try thats similar.
This is my sixth brew and always carbinated after one week in bottle just cracked one open and flat if I pour it back and forth into two glasses i get a very small head. tastes great but flat. Its a exract kit from northern brewer. Irish red ale. Anything I can do?
