So pressure feeding the brew from the fermentor to kegs with nitrogen rather than co2 shouldn't be a problem?

Is there a way to add the beans into the fermentation process without contaminating. I had purchased the beans from my local brewery

I have been using nitrogen to help keep the oxygen out of my beer . Also use it to force the beer out of my conical to bottling. Week has past on my fermentation and I want to open the conical up and add vanilla bean to my oatmeal stout but I'm alwys conserned about contamination...if I add the...

The advise on mixing my sweet batch with a stronger beer was awesome I definitely will be able to enjoy the what I thought I would be struggling to drink. Thanks, also I purchased a yeast starter kit for my next batch of oatmeal stout hope it helps.

Dowloaded brewtarget. Very helpful just need to mess with it. Thanks

Thanks and cheers all!

Thanks ill check it out!

Where can I find the software?

Ok so little off topic that happened to me on last batch of vanilla bourban stout little funny. First batch I'm my new homade s.s. conical...was excited did everything right, oxygenated it ..kept a heated blanket on it to keep a steady temperature had my tube running to my bottle from top to...

So I should have let it sit for a bit longer. Keep checking til gravity stabilizes for a couple days.

My oatmeal stouts turned out awesome. Maybe ill stick with that for now!

Thanks for all the help. So a no go on refermenting and another trial and error. Well I'm batting 2 for 5

I've been always trying to shoot for high gravity beers. Next time can I repitch my yeast?

Recipe was 9 lbs malt extract, 1lb Crystal 40, 14 oz crystal 80 and 2 oz northern brewers hops Assad first 15 min and last 15 , I think I shoulda dry hopped. Then last ten minutes of boils I was told to add 2 lbs brown sugar.

Starting gravity was 1.78 and final was 1.26 . Fermantation was left for three weeks and its been in bottles for 3 weeks. I had a problem with the yeast slowed cause I believe my temps were to cold about low 60s so I wrapped it and seemed to have helped the krausen drop.

I'm a new brewer and this may be crazy but , can I open my already carbonated beer and referment it in my conical. My brown sugar clone is to sweet and not hoppy enough so I would like to save my batch if possible. I've never heard of it being done

I had the same thing going on and was told that my yeast was slow and possibly going dorment..and he was right my fermantation temp was to low . So I wrapped a heat blanket around it than finally after a couple of days it Finished..I'm not possitive but, I've heard you don't want your beer in...

Can I leave the yeast in and put my vanilla beans in ...I was thinking once I dump yeast my racking arm may not be able to pick up around 5 cups cups of beer during bottling . Also soaking the beans in the fermentor for a week should be adequate I thinking. Thanks

Thanks

I just recently made a S.S. conical and and I'm brewing a batch of vanilla bourbon stout. And I was wondering if I dump my yeast when I reach final gravity then add my bourban and vanilla and leave it in the same conical for an additional week would that work as a secondary process?
