How do you waste the least amount of beer taking a reading each day?

Well done:mug:

I did

My wife bought a good working used fridge off Craigslist so I can ferment in the hot AZ summer. Had it delivered and everything. :ban:

Thanks for the info scottland. I've been buying bottled water (2 x 2.5gl + 1gl) each time. I guess I should be refilling those 5gl bottles to save some money.

Bringing this thread back to life to get some real world advice. I've been using bottled water and I would like to just use tap water. Has anyone confirmed that using Phoenix city water will taste just a good as bottled water. I don't think the water tastes bad here but I'm a really lousy judge...

I think most (including me) will tell you to wait 3-4 weeks before bottling. My first batch I waited 2 weeks. Now after 2 weeks kegged I took it back off tonight to let it condition more. It's just too green. As far as 8 or 9 days I doubt it would make a difference.

What a feeling!! Congrats!!!!

Cool, should I release the pressure in the keg or just take it out of the freezer and let it be?

it's kegged

I've had my IPA on tap for two weeks and I think it needs to sit a while before it tastes great. Is ok to take it off the CO2, take it out of the cooler, and let it sit at room temp? Is so, what do I have to be careful of?

In the chart it says to hold at 30 then drop to 12. I guess 10 would work too.

I read your post and had the same question. I think this sums it up best https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/keg-force-carbing-methods-illustrated-73328/

I'm sure I'll have some buckets in my pipeline soon. For now I just like to see things happen.

I bought a 6.5gl glass carboy yesterday for $50 plus $10 for the handle, that included tax. Also I just like science :D

There are hairs on it though :eek: I thought that was one of the signs

I like my glass carboys, it just feels right. :D If you decide to go glass be sure to also get a carboy handle (usually not included). From what I've read even with a handle you want to also hold it from the bottom to take pressure off the neck. I guess they can snap under pressure.

That's what I was hoping for but there are so many ways to do the same thing that I want to do what's best. For the record I am trying to go for a mild raspberry flavor, like purple haze. I think I'll start with 1oz and see, assuming I can add more to the keg afterwards.

So I've been reading threads dating back 5 years about adding fruit extract. Secondary or Bottling. My wheat extract kit came with a 4oz bottle of Brewers Best Raspberry extract. I've asked before if I should use it and the acceptable answer was "NO, but if you do DON'T use all of it". The...
