I'm in!

Thanks for the reply. Those must have been some janky-lookin peaches by the end!

I'm making a saison with WYEAST 3031 pitched in primary. I just racked most of it into secondary onto peaches and nectarines for some aging and to let the brett finish up. All those little peachy bastards are floating, which is not something I had thought about beforehand this being my first...

Good point.

Maybe my pea brain doesn't properly grasp the idea or amount of CO2 in solution prior to bottling, but why don't the bottling/priming calculators take into account whether you've dry hopped? In my limited experience, it seems that the hops provide nucleation points for a fair bit of CO2 to be...

I always wonder what the hell happened when there's no follow-up or resolution to threads from the person who started it. So, here's a follow-up. The beer ended up great. The carbonation was varied a bit bottle-to-bottle, but all but one was within a normal range. The difference in the beer...

Thanks! It was done (1.002). And I carbed 4.5 gal to 2.5 volumes using an online calculator and digital scale. (4 oz of priming sugar) Hopefully it gets carbed consistently.

I wouldn't say it was in there before I racked so much as contemporaneously...once my wife finally made it over to assist me and there was an inch or two in the bucket.

I just bottled my first AG brew. Actually, last time I homebrewed, period, was like 17 years ago. Aaand I forgot to stir the priming solution. I poured it in as I started racking to the bottling bucket. And the siphon tube was coiled at the bottom, filling the bucket in a whirlpooly-type fashion...
