alright so i dont let it sit in the bottling bucket pretty much at all? just to prime it for bottling?

My apa has been fermenting well in the primary for about two weeks. havent taken a gravity reading but when is the average amount of time to leave it in the primary before i rack it to the bottling bucket. (i dont have a secondary fermenter just the bottling bucket)

I just used fletchmans bread yeast and let it sit in the primary carboy with the oranges and raisins for about 6 weeks. then i racked it into a secondary and let it settle out for about another week. then just bottle it up. taste is still young but absolutely still delicious.

stopped bubbling and bottled. pretty good already. lets hope i can let at least one bottle age a good year.

hey all i brewed my first batch of beer today. it was an american pale ale, i used northern brewer and liberty hops. the only problems besides the fact that i felt like i didnt sanitize well enough were i didnt feel like i cooled my wort fast enough. Im not sure of the exact time it was in the...

yes i have northern brewer bittering and i plan on dry hopping about 1/3 oz of liberty after major fermentation has occured

another quick question im using 1.7 oz of liberty finishing hops. ive read i should add half of those 30 minutes prior to the end of my boil. and add the rest 15 minutes from the end. does this sound accurate?

thanks bud

Hey everyone, quick question as i prepare to brew my first homebrew tomorrow. Im brewing a pale ale, that calls for dry malt extract as well as liquid malt extract. The recipe says to add the dry malt extract at the start and then add the liquid during the last 5 mins. I've read that you should...

that looks pretty close to bottling. I dont know what your thoughts are on racking but id rack it before i bottle.

i made a gallon of key lime mint mead the other day and unfortuantely when i went to check on it today it seems a piece of mint clogged up my air lock. it seems to me that it caused too much back pressure and blew off the bung. i just noticed it today and cleaned out the air lock and replaced it...

Does the quality of honey make a difference in the final product? I bought the cheap acme honey instead of whatever name brand honey they had at the grocery store.

i only had 3 pounds of clover honey and the recipe calls for 3 1/2. how will this affect the outcome of my mead. thanks

Thanks. that makes sense. and yes i was referring to the thin layer of yeast at the bottom of bottles.

May seem like a dumb question to some but why isn't there yeast cakes in big name brews just homebrews?
