I'll make sure to give it a good gentle stir in the bottling bucket. That's sound like a great idea. My batches seem to have at least one or two over-carbed bottles, perhaps that is due to the priming sugar not being evenly distributed when racked. I just received an email reply from AHS, they...

I see your point. It does seem like it'd be easier. I don't know how it would get evenly distributed in just by dropping into the primary, whereas it would get mixed when racking on top in the bottling bucket. You're right... that sounds like safe approach. Is it safe to assume that if the...

Yes, I did notice that. What doesn't correspond are the recipe instructions - it says to add the vanilla extract to secondary, the blueberry flavoring at bottling. I suppose I could at it to the priming sugar at bottling... but 2 oz sounds like a lot, I'm just a little concerned it might be a...

This was my first inclination as well, but when I'm uncertain, I like to look/ask around first. Noted about not boiling the powder — good call, thanks! It probably is, the powder comes in a bag with AHS label. Not sure where they get it from, or if they make and package it themselves...

I'm in a bit of a toss up with one of my beers. I recently brewed a partial mash kit from AHS, the Blueberry Cream Porter. The recipe calls for 2oz of Vanilla Extract Powder to be added to secondary. Since it's powder, shouldn't it first be diluted? What is the best way to go about this? The...

Thank you putting my mind at ease. I tend to over-evaluate my process on new ventures and it drives me up the wall! Also yes, I had been shaking it often (aside from when I was asleep and while I'm now at work) — but did it plenty last night and will once I return home today. Not sure why...

Much obliged, and many thanks again for the warm welcome to you all. Indeed it is, I moved here from west Baltimore two years ago. Is anyone here a member of the Midnight Homebrewers League? Thanks, I've actually considered the BIAB method in my present situation in lieu of a three vessel...

Greetings and Salutations, fellow homebrewers! I got into this hobby in Nov. of last year, my wife initially bought me a 5 gal starter kit from Midwest, and it then began propagate. I brewed about 5 batches up until late Jan., but fell off the wagon (so to speak) due to an unforgiving and...
