Im still very new to brewing and even newer to all grain and Im brewing a Saison soon and I keep seeing forums and recipes that say add table sugar to dry it out. Now when it comes the amount that should be added to a 5 gallon batch i see alot of 15% and 10% what is the % in reference to so i...

And thanks so much for all of the quick replies I really appreciate it

Yea im top stove brewing its odd because all of my beers so far seem a little too bitter and im new to this so i don know what it could be.

If a recipe calls for 4 gallons of water for the wort to be boiled in what happens when you only boil the wort in 2 gallons of water then add the rest in to the carboy?

So i had to go out of town and my fruit fermented for 13 days im kegging it and its my first time kegging but it does not really have any resemblance of a hefe and is pretty bitter. What could that be?

Haha exactly thats what mine looks like thanks for replying so quickly

Yea they are old coca cola kegs converted on to ball lock

Its odd the only area that looks like it would be there is nor lever or anything it just looks like this

I bought 2 corny kegs today and When i see them purge out the c02 they have a little ring they tug on mine does not have anything like that so how do i purge the co2?

Thanks so much man I appreciate the needed guidance.

Thanks Ryan and Yea I did more so then i thought i would. So I can cap and rebottle? That wont have and affect on the beer taste but can lower the carbonation levels?

I also just realized something this was the batch I lost about 2 gallons of due to fermenting in a 5 gallon carboy. But i still used the same amount of priming sugar that is called for a 5 gallon batch. Is my beer just going to be over carbonated no matter what? And thanks for the quick replies...

So I bottled my hefeweizen 10 days ago and decided to open one up smells incredible but when I poured it the bubbles never cease they just keep coming. And it reminds me of when you get soda out of the fountain and there is no soda left just carbonated water. Should i let it stay in the bottle...

Thats what I figured I just am hoping it doesnt taste off I will be doing another one next week with the correct hops this time. Thanks for helping me out.

So what would be the outcome if you inverted the hops? Because thats what I did on accident. I did saaz in the beginning and at the end with halletauer at the 20 min mark.
