Reinheitsgebot! Ich verstehe :)

Yes that is the reason. Plus I did have some trouble while priming as some beer had spilled out of the Fermenter ( I used a 1gal Fermenter as the bottling bucket). I then went ahead and added some more priming sugar mixed with hot water of course while the beer was being transferred into the...

Is it because you don't like the taste of Cucumber in your beer or is there a technical reason behind that? I love cucumbers in general, but the only time I had experienced a Cucumber beer was the time I had a Cucumber Kolsch at a local brewery which was really refreshing. Since I don't have...

No purchases are possible right now with everything being shut, sadly. Would a flameout/whirlpool addition of Nelson Sauvin compliment the Cucumbers? When would you add the cucumbers? During boil or during fermentation? If the latter, how would you sanitize them?

Hey Guys, I am planning to make a 1 Gallon Cucumber Cream Ale which would probably be my last brewday in this lockdown for a while. So I am planning to use up whatever ingredients I have got left which are as follows :- Process - BIAB 1. Pale 2-Row : 0.77lb 2. Pilsner : 0.6lb 3. Munich ...

Just an update guys, the beer is carbing pretty well. The plastic bottles used for checking carbonation have become quite hard right now (4 days in). Only problem being different bottles are showing different levels of carbonation. Maybe the priming sugar wasn't mixed well enough. I will take...

Felt like these were a lot more than a few bubbles honestly. I have another beer carbing right now, which was bottled on the 18th. I haven't seen these many bubbles on it so far. Pic attached

I know that! But thought you didn't see bubbles during bottle carbonation.

Are you sure about the bubbles being normal? I am only reading bad things about this.. Stuff like Leakage in the seal leading to co2 escaping or potential bottle bombs. BTW the beer had cleared up quite well when I opened the lid for bottling. All the bubbles and gunk had disappeared.

I used about 3/4 cup of water for about 20gms of sugar. Boiled it, stirred it. Then let it cool. Then added into the beer. Yes yes. The fridge is maintained between 20-21 deg C

Alright guys I have bottled this beer. Please see the attached photo. It has been around 4 hours since bottling and I am seeing these bubbles. What does that mean? I primed using some dextrose sugar powder. Had a few niggles with mixing the sugar in the bottlign bucket also spilled some so...

Didn't know both readings needed to be adjusted. I just put in the OG and FG in Sean Terrill's calculator. 7 Brix roughly converts to 1.011 and the reading on the Hydrometer was 1.008. So still there is some error in there.

Even with a calculator / converter?

Nope did not swirl or even move the bucket since the last time i removed a sample for checking the gravity. I use this link to convert Brix into SG - https://www.winning-homebrew.com/specific-gravity-to-brix.html

Opened the lid one last time before bottling (I promise ). The bubbles and weird gunk floating on the surface seems to havd disappeared. I don't know why. Hope the experts can shed some light. Checked the FG and it hasn't changed from 3 days ago which is at 1.008. So I guess fermentation is...

And regarding the priming sugar calculations, should i underpitch just to be safe?

I really don't know how this must have happened. I clean and sanitize everything thoroughly. Since I have dry hopped the beer today, is it okay if I wait another 3-4 days before bottling or is it a lost cause seeing how you feel this is infected.

Opened the lid of my Fermenting bucket where this IPA has been fermenting for 13 days. I don't know what those bubbles are but they sure don't look too nice. The FG has come down to 1.008 but I am not sure if it is done fermenting. The bucket lid doesn't seal too well so I have not seen any...

Alright. I'll just add some Orange Zest into the Fermenter after putting the zest through a boil. Also, it is now the 13th day since fermentation started and the airlock is still bubbling (one bubble every 12-13 seconds). There is also some fizz on the layer of the beer and a thin layer of foam...

Brewed a beer using some Pils & Wheat malt I had at home and threw in some Orange Zest at Flameout. Used Magnum @60 for bittering. Yeast used was Dry Munton's Premium Ale yeast which started off vigorously but has slowed down since Day 2. I am brewing a 1 Gallon batch. Can I dry hop with some...
