OK cool, thanks everybody

OK thanks for the input. I considered a gusher type infection but wouldn't I have already knows that and the other bottles? As far as the priming sugar goes I used 5 ounces in a 5 gallon batch and I did dissolve the sugar in water before adding it to the beer. I was worried that might be a...

So my IPA (first brew) has been bottled for about two weeks and the 12oz bottles are very nicely carbed and the beer is delicious. So last night a popped my first grolsch bottled and it was carbed pretty well too. So tonight I brought up a second grolsch and planned on drinking that too! It was...

Not really a question, just a post about something I'm trying. I'm getting close to bottling my IPA and I want to try using gelatin finings in it. I don't have a fridge that I can use to cold crash it so I'm attempting to do it in a swamp cooler with several frozen bottles of water. Not sure how...

Just a shot in the dark to see if there are any other home brewers in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area who would be willing to meet up and/or exchange some brews and discuss brewing. Feel free to post or PM me. Hope to hear from you.
