Can you dry hop with Fuggle?

Cool, thanks! So I should wait another couple days? What about the diacetyl rest? It's been happening for about 2-3 days already. Will a couple more hurt it or should I bottle now?

Hi all, I've got a brown ale in the primary for 2.5 weeks. I usually rack to secondary at this point buy want to try bottling after primary. Do you think it should be ok? It's been on a diacetyl rest for a couple days already. After bottling, store at room temp?

Hmm, lager yeast would be nice but I don't have proper refrigeration methods, hence me only brewing ales. I made a honey wheat beer that was closr to a lager.

Yes I think the chocolate malt would be too much. It overpowered the last beer i used it in, which was a fat tire clone. I think crystal and biscuit should be good enough. Do you guys ever use fuggle as aroma and/or dry hopping?

Thanks everyone! That was the info I needed. I wasn't sure if Munich LME was reserved for lagers or could be used in ales. This batch is kind of the "kitchen sink" philosophy: whatever I have in my cupboard. Munich Malt Bries Lite Malt Crystal Malt .5 lb grain Chocolate Malt .5 lb grain...

Hello! I have 3.3 lbs of leftover munich liquid malt extract. I brew ales primarily. What can i brew with this? Should i use it in place of light pils LME? I have 3.3 lbs of briess golden pils LME to go with it. Any ideas?

Hard to tell! Oh well, bottled it yesterday, just siphoned away from the white stuff. Hopefully it should be ok. Thanks guys!

Hi all, This white stuff formed on my Fat Tire clone recently. I first thought it was mold, but now I read it could be just yeast rafts. Can anyone identify this for me? Thank you!:mug:

Hello all, this is my first post here. I'm sorry if this is already covered in another thread: I got a home brewing kit and it came with a bottling bucket with a spigot at the bottom. The lid doesn't close very tight, and is definitely not air tight. I was wondering if this would be adequate...
