thanks all, i figured, just wanted to double check...

I have a beer that is done fermenting...i have it sitting outside of my ferm chamber, in the bucket. here is my question...my a/c broke this morning, and its in the upper 80's in my house. now i know temp is really important when fermentation is happening...but what about after it is done? will...

I just made my first IPA, 3 weeks in the primary, 10 days dry hoped, 3 weeks in the bottle. turned out great! just throw your hops in straight from the bag...they dont need to be sanitized, at least not that i have ever heard of.

I was just coming back to ask this question...beat me too it

I would be careful adding sugar to each bottle...dont want bottle bombs going off. glass and beer flying through the air is never fun.

I've never had a bottle bomb with a SN bottle, never had a problem with them.

Its your money, you have every right to be as picky as you want too. dont care how cheap it is...its still your money. if they have a problem with that, they dont want your cash bad enough...so take it elsewhere. you did nothing wrong.

ok cool, so its just a matter of adding the priming sugar to my bottling bucket, and splitting the beer! sweet i was hoping it was that easy! thanks for the info guys

i have little (16gm) co2 cartridges, not a co2 tank. i can use those to dispense the beer. sorry i didn't make that clear.

I tried to do a search on this and couldn't find anything, if my answer is on here, feel free to just link to it. I have a 2.5 gallon keg, so I will have to bottle the rest of my batch. I dont have a CO2 tank, so I will have to naturally carb the keg. my question is can i just add the 5oz of...

hey all~ First of all, i ask you to forgive my ignorance, second, i ask you to forgive me if i'm over thing thinking this process, third, i tried searching for this info, and couldnt find it, so if its on here, i apologize. I'm getting ready to set up my first swamp cooler, and i have two...

I sanitize everything before I bottle. and while I'm bottling, I have a lid on my bottling bucket, to make sure nothing floating around in the air falls in. but like yooper, i dont stir either.

thats kind of what my thoughts were, but the thing is though, when i transferred it, i hadnt seen any bubbles out of the airlock in 3 days, and there was no foam on top. oh well, all i know is its not getting in the bottle as soon as i thought!

hey all~ I tried searching on here for a topic relating to this, but couldn't find anything. I'm still relatively new to this whole homebrewing thing, so if this is common, I'm sorry. If this has been covered in another post, please direct me there... So the beer i currently have in the...

So you're saying i can use a 5 gal. carboy, and wont have any overflow issues?

Hi all~ I'm relatively new to home brewing, so if this questions is stupid, please forgive me. I want to get into lagering, and I have heard that a plastic bucket is not ideal for lagering, and that you should use a glass carboy. so my question is, can I use a 5 gallon carboy as a primary...

PinkyOFloyd, i have a 5-gallon carboy

see, thats the thing, im trying not to carry my primary into the store, to see if it fits, i was wondering if i could get some advice from people who have been through this to see what sizes they got.

I've been making ales for a while now, and i want to try my hand at making lagers. question I have is, what size fridge or chest freezer should i get. I have a 6.5 gal primary fermenter bucket. I have a mini-fridge that i used in college, that i believe is 4.4 cu. ft. (but I'm 99% sure its too...
