A few questions: 1) Should I go with Maris Otter to make it more "English"? Would you even be able to notice the different base malt with a hoppier beer? 2) Does my choice of yeast seem appropriate? 3) Any other suggestions?

You may have woken up the yeast a bit when you racked to secondary, so it might be a bit of extra yeast settling out. More likely though is that the colder temperatures caused a bit of protein, yeast, and other solids to drop out of your beer. Either way, this is a good thing. Don't worry...

This is all very interesting. I just had a taste from a new batch that finished fermenting about a week ago (using US-05), and it was an absolute peach-bomb. It's an interesting flavor, but decidedly un-beerlike at this point. I bottled last night, so I plan to try it in about a month. Can...

How long has it been bottled? Did you remember to add the priming sugar?

The CO2 blanket might be more resilient than you realize. Unless you really fan, agitate or blow on it, the CO2 will stay pooled on top of your beer for a long time. Below is a little video demo I made or the CO2 in a bucket that my blow off was venting to. Keep in mind that I had removed...

I totally agree, but I thought that racking on top of the sugar solution would have mixed it properly. Do people out there stir after racking to make sure?

I have a question for you good folks about a weird occurrence. I bottled an APA two weeks ago, then had it in my basement to carb up. The temp was only about 62 degrees, which wasn't doing the job, so I brought it upstairs about a week ago. Last night, I opened a bottle to check it and still...

Hi everyone, my name is Christian and I just caught the bug. I've been lurking for a week or so, but that isn't really my style. I wanted to at least wait until I had something to say other than to ask a thousand noob questions, so here it is (including a possible noob question): My second...
