Hello, Left in fermentor for 3 weeks and reached correct FG. Bottled with correct amount of bottling sugar added while transferring beer to bottling bucket. Also gave a few very gentle stirs too make sure sugar distributed uniformly. If the fermentation is complete can you be left with...

Hello, In general terms, how long does it take for a bottle of beer to reach it's maximum carbonation after bottling ? Ambient temperature app. 66-68 degrees. Also, once the bottled beer is placed in refrigeration all carbonation stops, correct ? Does refrigeration for any particular...

Hello, Have a beer in process that I will leave in carboy fermenting for at least two if not 3 weeks. Won't bottle until I get stable FG reading. This particular beer has alot of sediment/trubb etc. I understand how to move it carefully to a bottling bucket with an autosiphon...

Hello, In the picture of the trub in the fermenter, app.how deep is the trub pictured ? Any suggestions on what container I could use to rack app. 3 gallons of chilled wort into that is tall for it's volume ? As always thanks for the advice ?

Hello, Yes the wort was cooled to app. 75F ... the screen in the funnel is very fine and catches some solids but not much. I feel that the sediment/trub is more of a product of the fermentation process. Any way to reduce it at that stage ? Thanks !

Sounds right, Guess I will just pour the corn sugar mix into the wort and stir it very gently. Thanks for your time.

Thanks, I usually add the bottling sugar while transferring the wort from the fermenter to the bottling bucket, but I want to let it sit for a few days first. Can I add the sugar when I transfer to the bottling bucket and let it all sit a few days before bottling ? I am guessing I shouldn't...

Hello, Want to add corn sugar to bottling bucket after wort has been sitting for a few days to let sediment settle and wort clear up a little. Is there a good way to do this so that the corn sugar is evenly distributed in the wort that does not introduce any oxygen ? Don't want to stir...
