Yes any fermentable sugar will work. Just use an online calculator to find out the amount as each sugar will require different amounts to produce the same carbonation.

Well IMO I wouldn't think you would get any off favors from two months of aging. But if you are worried about it rack to tertiary to get off the yeast cake that formed in secondary

I would also consider using some of the fuggles for dry hop as well

I would think that as long as it seals up properly, which it looks like it wouldn't be hard to do, you should be all set. Post a picture if you attempt to use this valve.

Any ideas? Bueller?

So I have 5.5 gallons of a Belgian wit going right now and I'm thinking that when its done using the yeast cake for a tripel. I have read some contradicting things with pitching on top of yeast cakes but I'm thinking that since the tripel will have an og of around 1.100 that I might not be over...

Yea the buckets was kinda what I was thinking to. I trust my hydrometer more than anything.

So the past three brews I have done had zero airlock activity. The first a centennial blonde used wyeast American ale ll, the second another cent blonde I used us-05, then the third a belgian wit I pitched wyeast 3944. Now all three reached terminal gravity pretty quickly and for the ones with...

Your gonna wanna pitch the yeast after 48 hours or so after the lacto is pitched. As far as aerating I'm pretty sure lacto doesn't like oxygen to much so hold off until you pitch the yeast then rock the fermenter for a bit to aerate for the yeast to use.

Did u make starter? wait 72 hours then try taking hydrometer reading. If the gravity is dropping your good. If it hasn't changed pitch more yeast. I had a blonde ale show no bubbles in the airlock for two weeks of fermentation but the gravity dropped down to 1.007 and the beer turned out great...

*All-Grain, Partial-Mash, or Extract? All grain *If All-Grain, what is your estimated efficiency? 65% *Boil time? In minutes. 60-90min *Will you rack to secondary? I can *Hop Pellets or Leaf? Pellets *What is your start boil volume in gallons? 7.5g *What is your end batch volume in gallons? 5g...

So with this beer would i sparge normally or is it a no sparge thing?

I have seen where some people say that it is important to have a full rolling boil though

I use a 16 gallon pot as my boil kettle. It has a larger diameter than most other boil pots I have seen and I seem to boil off like 3 gallons or more on a 60 min boil for a five gallon batch. I was wondering if the increased surface area could cause this or could I be boiling to vigorously?

When I have used it in the past I leave it in through primary to extract more flavor and perfume the beer better.

How long are you planning on aging in the barrel?

You can do a decoction on any style and it won't hurt it, but the decoction may not be noticeable and there by not worth the added time and effort for every style. But if you wanted to experiment doing every style like that go for it.
