If your not going to add anything to the brew in secondary and you don't think it will do much for you just bottle. I'm sure many people will disagree but you could go either way. Whatever you fee like dude. It will still taste good. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I respectfully disagree. Bulk aging a Brett farmhouse will allow a lot of those yeast flavors to develop. Probably didn't really need a secondary with the Brett in there cleaning things up but I would have done the same thing. Might drop a few more points for you too. Might think about a little...

I did this and it looks and tastes good to me. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've only recently started making yeast starts so my advice may not be the best. Any yeast starter is better than none. You're giving your yeast a head start. You will probably see more activity a lot faster using a starter than without. Just insurance on a healthy fermentation if nothing more...

I officially get it. I will still bottle condition beers, but I'll also brew some beers with a quick turn around to put in the keg. This beer was my first beer with a slight infection. I didn't want to condition in the bottle to allow the infection to take hold. This beer is now awesome where it...

I did this and it worked great. Nice foamy beer. I think I'm gonna like this draft thing! Thanks for all the advice. I'll post a pic of my kettle soured saison later today. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Probably less prone to infection at cold temps but wanted to make sure.

Thanks all. Should I sanitize regulator and gas hoses?

Just purchased my first co2 tank with regulator and wanted to know if there is anything I should know before my first attempt. I understand that this is pretty vague but I am very interested to hear what others have figured out over the years. Hoping to avoid any major disasters. CHEERS!

That's awesome. I will eventually convert my mini fridge to a kegorator. Hard to convince myself to invest $200 into a co2 system for a $40 keg; but I've seen the light. As for now, how much priming sugar do you add to your keg when naturally carbing. I've heard you should put in half as much as...

Pop a bottle and see how it is. I've been known to be a little impatient when it comes to my beer too. I think you will get enough carb out of it.

I've only used Brett once and didn't change my equipment. Everything is still fine. As long as you clean and sanitize really well it shouldn't be a problem.

Sounds like Joey has the same cheapie keg system as me. Naturally carb in keg and dispense with charger.

Make sure it's good and clean! Brett can be a hard one to get rid of. If you have a glass carboy that would work better. Also plan on letting this go for at least 6 months. That about the time Brett starts tasting good. Brett is a slow fermenter but will consume more than other yeast strains. Fg...

Feel free to dump in a pound of table sugar too. Any saison or Belgian I brew always gets a sugar addition to bump up the abv and dry out the brew. Cheers!

That makes it even more awesome

Would the light from the led have any kind of impact on the beer? Looks pretty cool.

I've dropped an English ale by .005 with a gentle rousing. I've only had to do it once but it worked.

Worth a shot. Taste it and if it's good bottle. It could have been worse.
