All, I'm doing a couple of batches of Imperial Pale Ale (Brewer's Best LME kit). And I'm in a rush to serve them at an event in a few weeks. I've heard that the beer should be in the bottle for around two weeks which I've been doing for all my previous batches(for conditioning, etc.) and...

Good point on the growlers. I have a cool area in my garage for my bottles but I'll throw the growler in a plastic bin and wait it out.

I like the straw idea. I didn't have enough 12oz bottles. But I kept on going instead of covering the bucket for a couple of days. Ugh I ended up with some in a growler with a screw cap. I tourqued it on the best I could. We will see what happen. This was for a wedding so I'll try to slap...

Yes I already have the priming sugar in there SOS I better go for it with the bottles I have. Thanks Crap!! What a pain this was. All the 750s are washed. None of my 12s are washed. This will take an hour or so And I don't have enough 12s. Oh well.

I'm filling into Belgian 750 Mel's and my brew shop sold me a larger cap bell. Just the metal bell and it screws into the capper. Which it did fine. But the bottom of the caps won't crimp under. Aaah! All my bottles are washed. Beer is in the bottling bucket. I have 3 bottles filled and...

Tottaly my bad on the hijacked post. I thought this was one I started last month. I just grabbed the wrong one. So I'll pull my bottles from the fridge and get em back to 70 ish degrees and wait some more. Thanks again.

I bottled about 10 days ago. Left it sitting at room temp or so for a week then into the fridge. It's scheduled to come out on Wed for serving but I wanted one early. No fffssh upon opening and no bubbles or head when poured. I fear the worst. Taste is okay. But no head. Does it really need...

I cold crashed for almost 2 weeks. (just got too busy) and bottleed last night. The beer appeared clearer in the tubing than previous batches. Could just be me. But I poured a small glass from the bottom of the bottling bucket and it looked and tasted great. The real test in 2 weeks.

I'm ready to bottle I did my dry hopping in the primary and did a cold crash, as advised here prior to boottling to get things settled out. I threw the carboy in my beer fridge which I planned to do for just a couple of days before bottling. Well, I got busy and was traveling. and It's...

I was still planning to expose it to some more hops in a secondary vessel. Have I missed my moment?? :(:mad: i hope not

Huh??

I've been busy traveling, etc. and I plan to move the batch after a month in the first fermenter to a secondary so I can dry hop it. (I'm doing Dennys Rye IPA from an extract kit) It's still sitting at ALE temps but I knwo the fermentation has stopped. The time lag shouldn't mess things...

Getting ready to go to the secondary vessel and dry hopping. my first dry hop recipe. Seems pretty straight forward. I cant wait to taste it completed.

Well, I may be OK. Thanks to your sage advice. it's fermenting and Bubbling like a bugger and the Krausen loooks good like previous batches. I did not get an OG reading but i think i'll be ok. Will report later. Thanks again to Dale1038 and Vabrewer Cheers :mug:

Brilliant! Thanks

It's a pound of corn sugar. I may need more water. Right??

Really!!??? Thanks

Tottally forgot to add the corn sugar. Discovered it after cleaning up after filling the fermenter. Crap, right?:(:confused: Grrr. Thanks

I purchased NB's Denny's Rye Extract kit. Can't wait. I hope to brew this weekend. While my wife's away and I have the kitchen available to mess up.:D Is NB for real with those shipping fees??!! Ouch dude.

A partial mash?? What's that? And where in the process would I use i? Thanks
