I always add some amount of sugar to all my brews three to five days after primary has begun. I was told the same thing... ita good to give those yeastie-boys some easy eating sugar at the end as a littke reward for making you such a tasty beer. I also sometimes add a small amount of sugar to...

I have to buy big jugs of water to brew with. The jugs i buy are pet 1 and i use them for secondary. They only cost 5 dollars with 4 gallons of water and then an empty jug! Pretty good deal. I have even been lagering in them and no issues for me! It was a great alternative for me because i...

I brewed a big barley wine yesterday. I harvested a lot of wyeast 1056 from previous batches and had been saving the yeast for this massive beer. I made a starter 3 days before I pitched the yeast. This morning when I woke up, one of my carboys was already at high krausen while the other carboy...

Has the temperature of the room where the beer is fermenting been rising?

So this for goes transferring into a bottling bucket and just filling the bottles up off of your siphon with a wand on the end? How did you figure this was a good amount of sugar into individual bottles... bomber as in 22 oz I assume?

I brewed a Belgian strong ale two months ago and will be bottling it next week. It has been sitting in primary on the yeast cake for the whole time and for the past month and a half it has been sitting at 56 degrees. I used wyeast 1388. Is there going to be enough yeast still in suspension...

So I just fashioned myself a cooler mash tun and I made a manifold on the bottom with some PVC piping that I drilled small holes into. I had issues with the piping getting clogged during the sparge and even during the transfer of wort to the kettle. I had the manifold with the holes facing up...

I just listened to the brewstrong episodes regarding water and I have become a little concerned with my water choices. If you had to chose distilled or spring water for ales and lagers what would you go with?

I don't have experience with kegging but everything I read about the style said to Carb at that psi for three days and then serve. Let you know how it goes

I'm about to serve my first keg of many to come. I carbed at 25psi and I was wondering if I burp the keg of that co2 and then re set to serving psi.

I brewed some beer away from home with some friends during the holidays and now I am getting ready to head back. Is it alright to put my beer into kegs, hit with 30psi and expect the beer to carbonate a little bit as I drive home. I don't plan to leave the gas connected in the car. I just...

Oxygen tanks from hardware stores. Where in the store do you find them?

I like to use the satellite fermentation method. When I put my beer into my bucket or carboy and after I pitch my yeast I fill an old clear bottle half way, like a corona bottle or old coke bottle and monitor fermentation from their. I stick a little bit of paper towel in the top of the bottle...
