VERY interesting facts Revvy. Man, I learn something new on these forums everyday. +1 to you bud!

I bottled my brew 3 days on May 31. I realized that there is already a nice amount of white-ish sediment at the bottom on each bottle. Obviously I know this sediment is normal and unavoidable but is it normal to have it so early on? Has the active yeast gone dormant resulting in uncarbonated...

Simple and effective. Thanks!

So I was thinking about the whole brewing process and there is one thing that popped into my head and I figured, who better to answer this question than the experts on this here forum!. Here's my logic: Fermentation of beer usually takes 1 week or 2 weeks (in general - some are longer). After...

Holy crap! That is....AWESOME!

As long as you use a hydrometer to make sure the fermentation ahs completed, you should be okay to bottle. However, leaving it in the fermentor another couple of days helps clear the beer. About your beer not bubbling yet, don't worry. Some fermentation only starts 2-3 days after you pitch. I...

Cool. I've read in many places that hop forward beers usually lsoe their hoppiness after a few months.

...are very hoppy beers (IPAs, Pale Ales, etc...) usualy drinkable for after they're bottled?

I would suggest at least racking to a bottling bucket right before you bottle. And make sure, when the time comes, to rack the beer on top of the priming sugar you use (dextrose, DME, honey) so it gets mixed up very well.

Yea, i'm gonna crack one open in 2 weeks and then 2 weeks after that. I'm pretty excited to try it! This forum gave me so much help it's incredible!

Thanks. It's an IPA so I didn't want it too carbed either. However, as long as they don't explode or give me 4 inches of head, i'll be happy.

So guys, I think I used too much priming sugar tonight. I used about 5.5oz for what I thought was a 5 gallon batch. In reality, after filling all the bottles, I realized I had only about 4.5 gallons of beer (I was 5 bottles short of 60 bottles). Now, TastyBrew told me I should use 5.5 oz of...

I've known you guys for a few days and I already love you! lol. So much help in this place!!!! Thanks guys!

Yup, here's the pic. You can see the cloudiness/powdery at the bottom.

Oh man, so the liquid is suppose to be completely clear???

It's not clumpy at all, it's just like powdery. I stirred it up with the whisk and it made the liquid cloudy again. It's like the DME settles on the bottom. Normal?

Anyone please?

HELP! I just boiled my 5.5oz of DME for about 5-6 minutes and I realized that it hasn't completely dissolved! Is this normal or should I boil it until it is a clear liquid?! I'm bottling very shortly!!!!

+1 to you good sir! lol

Hmmm, I have almost all green bottles this time around :( I gotta look into that next batch. Thanks for the heads up though!
