Alright I will give it two more weeks before I water the plants with it. Thanks for the help everyone.

It is 12 lbs of Vienna and citra at the 60, 30 and 10 min marks. Right now my basement is about 70. It has been almost three weeks since bottling.

New thought in this, could the fact that I used Vienna malt have anything to do with it?

Going to let them sit a little longer and see if that helps. I have another beer that will be ready this weekend. I used the same caps so that will let me know if they are a problem or not. It's an IPA so that will also tell me if it's the style or not. I know everyone thinks I am crazy for...

With that train of thought, could the fact that the beer was almost see through when I bottled it? Meaning, it looked like something professional. If there is not any yeast to eat the sugar? They are now on week three for sitting in the bottles.

It has very little carbonation and head retention. I do use different caps to know what is what. I have not had issues with these caps before with another beer. I know that everyone might think I am crazy, but this only happens with SMaSH beers.

My temps for the bottling is 68 to 70. Again this only happens with a SMaSH beer and nothing else.

This is the second SMaSH beer that I have made. I absolutely love SMaSH beers. Here is my question, why make SMaSH beers have little to no carbonation? I added my priming sugar mixture to the bottling bucket. 5oz of priming sugar to 1 cup of water. This is not the only time my SMaSH...

I am going to something close to Guinness for my next beer. My question is this, anyone add candi-sugar to a stout to make it sweet? I know that lactose is for making a "sweet stout", but I want to use candi sugar instead. Any ideas would help. Thanks in advance

I have been using beersmith since I started making my own receipes. I have the body set to medium and as you can see from the attached picture that I am adding water after the first hour and then fly sparging. Can someone tell me what this means? I want to make the selection a light body since...

Thanks

I have a great idea for a false bottom for a 5 gallon igloo cooler that I have aquired. My question is this, stainless or not to stainless. I am talking about the ball valve. I have seen many videos and pictures of people using SS for the valve and everything else. Looking through a magazine the...

I did want to bump up the ABV. Here is my new recipe for the blonde. Been messing with it all morning. 6lb 3.8oz pale malt 1.8 oz Victory Malt 1.8 oz Honey Malt. ABV: 5.5 IBUS: 25 SRM 5.2 Closer to what I wanted. Thanks for all of the input.

So i should be using less sugar and corn but more pale malt? My batch size is 2.5 for now. I am still looking for beer that I really like. Thanks again
