    Trick to using beer gun?

    If there is any carbonation at all you will have to work fast because the sugar will cause foam, once you do a couple you’ll get a feel for it, i will need to check what size sugar cubes i have

    What is this?

    My guess, could be some kind of hot or cold break protein blob?!? Yeah definitely aliens, they probed and inseminated your batch

    Trick to using beer gun?

    lol yes i salvaged a batch of bottles that i under primed, one cube per 12oz bottle or you can buy carbonation drops from your LHBS just about the same thing except the carb drops come in a smaller size so you can adjust the carbonation level, the domino dots are medium carbonation in my experience

    Trick to using beer gun?

    If they are truly un carbonated then i would uncap them and add a domino sugar cube, just 1 per 12oz bottle, even if they had been cold for awhile should be yeast enough to carb up, just be 100% positive they are not carbonated

    Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

    Been brewing for about 7 years and i quit telling strangers or acquaintances about 6.5 years ago, my wife generally brings it u in conversation which in turns brings the look on people’s faces “oh wow her husband is an alcoholic” or “Matt makes illegal moonshine “ or “ I didn’t know he was a...

    Pitching 1 pack of Notty for 8 gal batch

    Always keep at least 1 or 2 packs of dry yeast in your fridge, rotate your stock always using the older of the packs, that way in an instance like this or you have a batch fail to start you won’t need to sweat it Edit: Especially for the guys/gals out there that rely on mail order homebrew...

    Trick to using beer gun?

    No it will not carb in the bottle unless you added priming sugar, beer guns have the advantage of purging the air in the bottle to help prevent oxidation, not designed to carbonate in the bottle

    Easy & Cheap Stainless Vent Hood

    Maybe you could fashion a temporary panel to replace the glass in the storm door, it would be awkward having a flex hose attached but at least the door would be partially operable while you brewed Maybe like a piece of luan board? It’s pretty thin, depends on how the glass is held in the door...

    What happened to The Great HBT Stogie Thread

    Under pitched yeast

    I see, I think the biggest issue was racking after a couple days If you like hefeweizen yeast that would be a great yeast to try a quick turn around on i have gone grain to glass in 7 days, kegging is required for obvious reasons But yeah not knocking your experiment because that’s the only...

    Under pitched yeast

    Reiterating what’s already been said but don’t rack off the yeast for at least 2 weeks what’s the rush? There are alot of folks that primary for a month, if you want to drop trub do that before pitching the yeast
