Got a Scottish light bottle conditioning. It tasted amazing when I bottled it. It's only been in the bottles for a few days but I really want it. (Before I get flamed, I understand leave it in the bottle for a few weeks. I will taste a couple as the weeks pass to see how the taste changes. I'm...

Also, I guess since I went straight from the tub to rinse, I didn't get any off the dreaded oxy residue that some people mention

Yep, oxy soak. I hadn't bottled since my first batch and wanted to try again. (If I keg we drink it all in 1 or 2 sittings.) I read lots of articles and threads that said lots of different things. I went with the oxy. Super easy. Fill the tub with warm water and a few scoops of oxy (I used 4...

5 gal cream ale 7092

And it's bottled! Now just wait...

Thanks. You don't have to take it out of context. The meaning is still the same

But if you used a really malty beer... Maybe just in the icing

Oh yeah the kegging after the first batch was a "crazy" coincidence also

Hahaha! (It's brew night so I've had a few...) I was reading this thread and was kinda caught off guard... "Been lurking for a while" -me too "I'm on my 7th batch" -so am I... Well my 7th is about ready to be bottled "It's a Scottish light ale" -weird, my 7th batch was a Scottish light ale...

Had another tasting tonight after checking FG again. Man, I'm gonna need a support group in order to let this bottle condition.

Got in trouble yesterday for an extract kit that I ordered last week (THAT should be your vday gift...) although I told her about it before I ordered and when I actually ordered it. Both times she said ok. She doesn't understand. I tried to get her to participate in the brew process tonight but...

Nevermind, I figured it out as I was typing the post. I ran to fix it but when I came back to delete what I was writing, it had somehow posted on its own. The problem was that I took my sample from the pot before I added water. OG is actually low from the real sample

I just brewed a cream ale that was supposed to have an OG of 1.042-1.046. Right now I'm sitting at 1.091!!! I've spun it several times but its always the same. I guess there is the tiny chance that I need to add more water (I don

And that is why I will be brewing this afternoon ;)

Been a few years since I've made a batch, but I'm getting back into the game. 3 weeks ago a brewed a Scottish light ale (OG 1.050... A little high). Today I decided its about time to think about bottling. Took a gravity reading... 1.010 which is right on the nose. The point of this post is...

I hate that every time I see this thread, I'm drinking crap or soda. I just want to have an awesome answer... Oh well, right now I'm drinking rolling roll from a can

Kinda what I was thinking. However, I know cinnamon can sometimes be over powering. I use a tiny bit in chili and you def know its there

Maybe a tablespoon? I'm thinking that since I put it in boiling water with the chips and drained the chips before adding to the fermenter, the only cinnamon that actually made it in was whatever was stuck to the oak. I'm not really worried about. I was just thinking to myself and wanted to see...

I've got a Scottish Light Ale (from midwest) fermenting right now. It's been going for about 2 weeks, so last night I decided it was about time to add the oak chips. I boiled some water, tossed in the oak chips.... glanced at my spice cabinet and dumped some cinnamon in the boiling water with...
