I used corn sugar I only put 4.5 Oz in

I fermented for 2 weeks and they have been in the bottle for 2 weeks

Even after 2 weeks in the bottle?

They did carbonat very well.

Rookie move but it's my 3rd batch and I forgot to do a fg reading before I bottled it. it was a box kit and said to bottle after 2 weeks. I am sure that the taste is from the priming sugar because I didn't taste it when I bottled it was very good flat.

I brewed a oatmeal stout and got it bottled and after 2 weeks it has a strong sugar taste. My question is what can I do to get the sugar taste out? I was thinking leaving it sit and hoping it goes to the bottom.

I did that on a oatmeal stout and it was amazing beer. Like stated above you also need a pH level that is unlikely to reach. I wouldn't worry about it. It will turn out good.

I did boil it for about 25 min longer then I needed to before I read what you guys said anything

Yooper you have answered so many of my questions on here I really do appreciate it!!!! And everyone else that has helped me along my rookie training of home brew!

Ya I am making a chocolate milk stout. I had to steep. I just skipped the malts. So I am all good?

I forgot to add the LME and the DME and added the magnum and boiled for 30 min. Then I added the malts. Is it going to be ok? I am thinking I still should boil for the amount of time?

Well I just put it in the fermenter around and then I siphoned some out about a half gallon and then put the bucket in the basement shower just in case it does blow off. I'll let you know in a few days

Thanks alot eluterio I'll just clean up a mess I was trying to make a blow off but I don't have anything that worked and it's to late to run to the brew shop

I do have a 3 peice air lock but my hose fits inside the air lock so wouldn't it just blow the hose out of the airlick?

Or can I just take some out and put it into my carboy?
