i have a few 20oz bottles and a 1L bottle that are rotating, one at a time, typically use the 1L when i'll be away longer. i have considered 2 bottles at a time but if 1 can drop it to 66 i was afraid to go too much lower, but fock it i'll try it today anyway. i've also already added about...

i'm doing the same thing for the first time now, but i'm ending up with fluctuating temps. i put in a frozen bottle before work or before bed and the water temp drops to about 66-68 degrees, by the time i get home or wake up the temp is up to 71-72. the yeast is WLP008, which is good between...

yeah i just noticed that, have some soaking now. other bottles i soaked took alot longer, but a friend just hooked me up with a 12pk of empty magic hats and the labels were off quick. would have never thought of that, will give it a try

anyone know what gets the print off of Stone bottles? i've had a few soaking in PBW for about 3 - 4 with no luckf

if it hasn't moved in 1.5 weeks how would another 2 help? i was also thinking about a short crash cool before bottling, maybe about 36hrs. haven't decided yet tho

i've been meaning to post the same question for about a week. i've got a few things floating in my beer, they kind of look like bugers. they mostly float near the top but got up and down slowly over time. beer has been in secondary for 1.5 weeks and they've been there the whole time. i'm...

whoooaah, you best check yerself. 1) Arrogant Bastard is made by stone 2) its good stuff

when you leave them in bottle for so long, do you use the special oxygen caps or just the regular ones? i noticed that most shops (at least on the net) say that the oxygen caps are good when you are bottling for 6+ months, is this true or are they just trying to make more $$?

I'm working on my first batch and have just racked it into secondary. I've got a couple questions about it: 1) I made a 2.5 gallon batch and am using a 3 gallon carboy. After racking to the carboy it looks like there is actually about 2 gallons instead of 2.5. (I'm guessing this is cause...

good to know. i usually keep my house at about 76 - 80 during the summer, but lowered the thermostat and have refused to allow my gf to open the windows once i put my wort in the fermenter a few days ago. so does this mean that in a few more days, after moving to secondary, that i can put my...

interesting ideas. i'm still a newb but i've heard that its best to keep the fermentation at a constant temperature cause the yeast will do better. seems like it would be much easier to keep a steady temp by just setting the thermostat in your house since it should be around the right temp for...

i'm not saying that i don't believe you, but the bottle does say to let it air dry.

i agree that it does take way too much PBW. my first batch is still fermenting, but i used a 10 - 15 $ 1 pound jar of pbw and its almost gone already. a friend who brews some good stuff recommended oxyclean saying that it works just as well and is definitely waaaay cheaper
