I opened one of my beers early to test it out after one week in bottling. When i opened it, it foamed out the top. I only used a little over 3/4 cup of bottling sugar for a 5 gallon batch. Is there any other reason that this could happen?

Good, I dont need to fermentables. Just steeping grains.

Well then i dont know why they have it on a few of the extract recipes at a local brew supply shop.?

There is a tiny amount in the bottles, but i caught a good amount in the hop bag. Maybe an ounce? I just figured it would be easier than risking getting the bag stuck in the bottom of the carboy.

The centennial is only 8% so it may not be THAT bitter. What enzymes are you talking about 944?

Is there a cheaper one in the area?

I am moving out to north Phoenix in late August. How are the breweries and brew supply shops around there?

Oh, interesting Hooter.

Thanks guys. So it wouldn't be overkill to dry hop with 1 oz of cascade and 1 oz of Centennial to an already hoppy beer?

I used the hop bag on the other end ( into bottling bucket) and it worked just fine.

You guys ever hit up Home Brew Mart over at Ballast Point? Place is cool.

Never even heard of it. Coronado Islander is the company?

I am dry hopping 2 oz. of Pellet hops in secondary. I have a nice layer on the top and bottom of the beer of fine hop material. What is the best way to avoid siphoning this when i go to bottle? Also..side question. Is it normal to get more airlock action once it has been in secondary for about...

How do you guys filter out the hops when bottling? I have my beer dry hopping in secondary. I used 2 OZ pellets. There is a layer on top and bottom. Any ideas how to keep that out of my bottles?

You guys know where i can get my hands on a clone extract recipe of the Stone 10th anniversary, IPA, or Arrogant Bastard? I loved the 10th while it lasted.

I'm new to brewing and i love it. Got my second batch ever dry hopping as we speak. :tank:

Yes! thanks so much for the advice! Since its only my second batch i am really looking forward to it. It's going to be a Hoppy Red Ale. :)

I just siphoned the beer that had been fermenting for a week in the primary and put it in to my secondary to dry hop. I filled my tubing with sanitized water in order to start the siphon, only i made the stupid mistake of dumping it directly into the secondary carboy along with the rest of the...
