This! And, when the calculator calls for temp, that's not temp which you will put the bottles at while they prime (ie, about 72f). It's the highest temp the beer has reached during the process up till that point. This allows the calculator to account for dissolved co2 already present in the...

I'd say you're possibly at risk. You've doubled your priming amount, which means that if you were originally going for 2.5 volumes of CO2, common for many styles, you're now at 4.2 volumes (according to my calculator). 4.2 is on the upper end of hefe-weise style. If you have thin bottles, be...

You may be doing okay, but switching post connectors is asking for trouble. Gas and Liquid are slightly different in size, and if you search, you'll find threads about guys who switched things over and then could not get the connector off without breaking it apart. My suggestion, put a gas line...

OH, go for it. Put the keg in a bit warmer place after you fill it. The temperature change will cause some of the CO2 in suspension to come out. Fills the headspace. Give it a little purge action. VIOLA. Done!

5 gallon brew? Although you aren't brewing to style, for my taste, you've got a little too much base malt, which makes it a little stronger. Just personal opinion, but I like my wits about me when I drink wits, ie, more like a lower alcohol session beer. But that's me. Otherwise, looks pretty...

Looks like we're doing a tag team thing here! I've heard that the reasoning behind halving the kegging amount was due to headspace, that is, leass headspace in a keg compared to bottles. If you think of extremes, perhaps this might be so: an underfilled bottle has less CO2 volume in liquid than...

To be precise, you need to know the highest temperature your beer hit during your process. Assuming 20C, (68F?), then about 1.1 oz per gallon for 2.5 volumes of CO2. Some guys here will say, yes, about half the bottle priming amount is right for a keg, but no one has shown me the math on it to...

Your first idea. :ban: Prime it all first. I find (subjectively) primed carbonation has finer bubbles. Maybe that's in my head, but there it is.

05 will do that. I find I need at least 2 weeks for 05 to do it's thing, even if I pitch a starter. Check the gravity after 2 weeks. If it's on target, then cold crash it to clear the top.BTW, you don't necessarily need to secondary, especially with this recipe.

Wood fired pizza and homebrew night at my place the other night. My guest really likes beer, but doesn't know much about it (this is Japan, after all, home of Asahi Super Dry). We drank many of glasses of a faux pils I brewed with Cali lager yeast and it was pretty fine. Then I dug deep and...

I'd stick with the lower, the blonde. Most people may not appreciate you slipping them a mickey.

Brewing by the Seat of One's Pants method would say, yeah, you'll carbonate your beer with 4 oz. But why use four when the recipe calls for 5 (or do you have a typo meaning 5oz for 5 gallons)? More accurate methodology is to use a priming calculator.

BTW, I wouldn't dry hop for more than a couple a days at the end, otherwise you run the risk of getting some grassy notes. 10 days of dry hopping is asking for trouble, IMO.

I think you're stuck with it. If your water tastes good, you'll have good beer. If not, then.... You need to fix the chlorine with tablets, or fill your HLT up the night before and let the chlorine gas off. If it's chloromines, those are tougher to remove. Bottom line, I think it's toast, but...

Yeah, I'm trying my first sour this week, though it will be a sour mash, followed with a regular fermentation. Not ready to step up to the bugs yet (not sure I have the patience).

BTW, try not to cross post the same thing in different forums. You may get scolded by mods. FYI

Use gelatin finings or cold crash to freezing temps for a couple of days.

How about the no chill method? I mean, think about how much energy you're looking at moving around otherwise? Boil wort to 212. Take 60 water, boil it (212), put it in the freezer (-32), then back into the 212 wort. Two or three times of this surely has to cost the same as an IC.
