Thank you tracer bullet. I tried that, so the airlock is not plugged. It seems to be fermenting OK, but I'm worried about oxygen once it stops fermenting..

I tried that but, alas, there was plenty of liquid in the airlock.

Thank you for your reply. My main concern is oxydation after the fermenting has finished. Should I be concerned? Would I have to bottle it the moment it finishes? How concerned should I be?

Thank you for your reply. My whole bathroom smells like a brewery so there is no way of telling. I'm using a 3 1/2 galln fermentor with a lid. I also sprayed water around the airlock - a plastic one with a "bobbing cap" and I saw no bubbling. I sprayed under the lid, but I wouldn't be able to...

I’m three days into brewing a 2 1/2 gallon batch of pale ale and pitched a full packet Omega CL-50 ale yeast. It’s fermenting and there is krausen, but absolute zero activity in the airlock. the lid is on properly and airlock is inserted properly. CL-50 is a low flocculating yeast, but shouldn’t...

I'm about to embark on my first ever fully self-designed Hazy IPA recipe with Kveik Hornindale and a blend of Fuggle, Chinook, Idahoe 7 and Simcoe hops. What is the difference between adding whirl-pooling the hops and letting it stand them for 15 minutes and dry hopping. Does whirlpooling pull...

How long will a Korny keg will last once I start pouring from and I don’t finish it. The event I was supposed to bring the keg to got cancelled. Hypothetically speaking, as long as there is enough CO2 in it, will I be able to pour from it it a few times over the course of a couple of months till...

I'll be using hornidal kviek... I shall just have to see what happens..

Thank you for the advice. It's been over 4 hours now and no sign of life. On a similar note, does Kveik yeast ferment quickly in bottle conditioning? I'm thinking of trying keg conditioning for an event, but I only have a week to get it carbonated (I will only use the CO2 to get the beer out of...

That sounds delicious..

I spent this morning cooking up 5 gallons of Hazy IPA which I want to use Kveik Voss liquid yeast from Omega. I screwed up the reading on my thermometer and think I have pitched at possibly a little over 120 degrees. There has been no airlock activity in the last 3 hours and I suspect I killed...

Thank you DB Homebrew. I can';t measure the gravity. The kit says 1 month - it's been 3 weeks at the maximum temperature the yeast likes and there has been no signs of life so I'll just bottle it up - chances are it will be Ok, right?

Thank you Lumpher. The kit says 1 month - it's been 3 weeks and there has been no signs of life. I can;'t take gravity readings so I'll just bottle it up - chances are it will be Ok, right?

I pitched a French saison with Omega French saison oyl-026 on June 9th. It fermented at between 70 and 80 degrees and I wanted to bottle it today. Does higher temp range speed up fermentation and am I risking for bottle bombs by bottling it a week early?

That's brilliant - Thank you!

I have a question about dry-hopping by attaching hops etc to the inside of the lid using food magnets on brew day. When releasing the magnet a week before bottling, does it not infect the beer? I was going to sanitize the magnets, but am cautious of sanitizing the bag in case of flavoring the...

I want to thank each and every one of you @grampamark @hotbeer @estricklin @Beermeister32 @rburrelli @Bobby_M for finding the tine to be so helpful. A couple of quick things: With the secondary fermentation, I just add the extras (cacao nibs, spices & orange peel in this case). I also don';t...

Yay! Thank you - 5-6 weeks it is!

Perfect! Thank you. Just know that I don't have a carboy, but a bucket with a lid from Northern Brewer so I'm a little worried about air. But if you think an extra couple of weeks is nothing to worry about- then I'm all in!

I'll be gone a couple of weeks, so it will be 6 weeks in a bucket with a lid (not a carboy). I have either a choice of letting it sit for just under 4 weeks or starting later and leaving it for about 5 weeks. You suggest the extra time to give extra flavors?
