I will look. If this is the case, would they still carb or would they have already finished conditioning?

I transferred from the fermenter to kettle that i bottle from. I add CO2 to the kettle and fill from the valve to help with oxidation. I boiled two cups of water with 3 Oz of corn sugar and added it to the kettle first that way beer coming in mixed in with it better. Then bottle and cap. I...

Did a all grain Kolsch and it has been three weeks in the closet bottle conditioning around 68 degrees. I decided it was time to put in the fridge to lager but opened one to try and see what it was like before lagering. Zero carbonation. I put them back in the closet for now. I used WY2565...

I asked about and someone else posted that but I never actually did it. I may have quoted someone too, but never got around to it.

When I used to do Extract kits I only ever had 5.5 in the boil. I would have the other half off to the side in case I over boiled and went below 5. But I did before chilling. I knew because of the following. Here is a tip if you do not have a sight glass on the kettle. Have a rod or even use...

Nevermind LoL sorry I found them at the bottom of the fridge draw.

So I’m Brewster by a summer wheat from adventures in home brewing. Either they didn’t give me hops or I used them else where. Idk. I know I should have done an inventory first but...or course the time I didn’t I don’t have something. Mashing right now. It calls for 1 pack or 4 HBU idk what that...

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind. I do use brewers friends website on my phone. It worked pretty good, just not as many grain options, that’s why I asked. I haven’t been able to get EZ and bruN to work. Seems those are xcel download spreadsheets. The brewers friend app doesn’t seem to do water...

Because I’m going to do a Juicy style NEIPA I figure citric would be a better choice than lactic for a potential flavor that complemented it. Wouldn’t distilled water need to be treated a little for sparge? I know you want less than 6, and distilled is usually around 5.8. Would that potentially...

I appreciate that. Looking to buy a house soon and plan to build a spare garage as a brewery with a little desk/office and computer, but baby steps. NEIPA Juicy 2:1 Chloride:Sulfate Target 5.4-5.5 8 gallons all distilled (5-5.5 gallon batch) But I put 7 in the calculator to account for boil...

Brewers friend It only gives base, crystal, roasted and acidulated as options. I don’t have a personal computer so I use my phone. I can’t seem to get ez or bru’n to work in my phone.

When calculating my potential ph for grist do I include only the base malt or everything? The recipe calls for 10lbs 2-row 8 oz of carapils and white wheat, 1 lb flaked wheat and oats, 4 oz of honey malt. Are those considered base Malts or specialty and which do I include in my calculator...

I have read and read and read and searched here and other forums and online, I just can’t seem to figure out what the deal with residual Alkalinity is. I understand what it is, but should we really worry about it? I see some say meh, doesn’t mater as long as the ph is good. Some say it very...

I was referring to his cans of extract which are like regular food tin cans in most cases. Your points are valid just not what I was referring too. But on the note and not meant to get too off topic here, there are certain bees I prefer in a bottle versus a can. They just taste different to me.

I had a batch taste metallic once, never really sure why, but we let it sit/age for a couple months and it settle out and taste fine after that. Do you use bleach to clean? If left for too long it can corrode the metals even ss a little. If not rinsed proper that could be imposing some flavors...

I’ve used old extract (2.5 years) but was store in a bag rather than a can. It had a stale taste to it. This may be hidable in darker/hoppy beers but this was a cream ale. There is question to storing long term in cans as well. Like they say with food, it will store for a very long time...but...

They came today and they were air tight sealed.

Just the same as I would for five gallon. Ignore the Lodo principles here because it is inventible transferring a single gallon to a bottling bucket and bottling. My recommendations is to purge the bucket with CO2, a smaller bucket might be a good investment and drill a hole to put your spigot...

So you think that’s what it is? It says it’s a type of infection. I sanitize the hell out my stuff so I’m hoping not and infection. I did do a bleach solution sanitation of my stuff before this batch too. Do that every 3-4 batches just to make sure I’m killing as much as possible.

It’s at 1.008 started at 1.086. Target was 1.085-1.090 and 1.010-1.015 so ‘done’ and then some. I’m measuring it at 10.25% This is the first complete recipe build I’ve ever done. Sample tastes great with a little carb to it, thus the bubbles in the carboy. But why is it still bubbling. It has a...
