I checked all my bottles... some of them the cap is a little crooked on the bottle and even some of them are leaking when I turning them upside down. on some I can almost remove the cap with my hands. Very weird.

at this point everything is possible. I did dump the priming sugar first like I did my other batches and it came out well.

i'll give it a little more time. I haven't changed anything from my previous 4 batches... and they came out great. just the capper that is not the same. Bottles were opened at random.

2 out 4 I opened were perfect and carbonized... it's been 3 weeks. thanks for the feedback

I bottled my 5th batch and bought a new capper for it. I usually rented it but was tired of going back to the store and back home twice to bottle. I don't understand why.. checked all caps and they were solid. Very frustrating specially it's my best beer so far ! any ideas?

thanks.. Perle is suppose to be a substitute for northern brewer

I just want to make sure I have this right. I needed 0.5 oz of Northen Brewer 11% = 5.5 AAU there wasn't any at my local brewshop so I went to Perle instead 0.78 oz of Perle 7.1 % = 5.5 AAU I think it's right but just want to make sure. Thanks a lot Ernie

quick question here in Palmer's book on my first recepie I did the pale ale it said to add the extract and then let boil again for 5 min for pasteurisation. I'm following another recepie in the book and it says to add at knockout. So do I add the LME and then close the fire or bring it back...

So if I understand right I could do something like this ? change the EK for Amarillo T60 min 1.8 kg of pale malt extract T60 min 28 G Nugget T15 Min 57 G Amarillo T 5 min 1.8 kg of pale malt extract Dry hop with 56g of Amarillo thanks for the info Ern

Thanks, I really enjoyed the Amarillo hops when I tried it in other micro brew beer. If I wanted to use it instead of the EK would I have to use it in the 15 min addition ? how would that work ? I enjoy American IPA better. This one if good, I'm glad I did. Still learning ! thanks...

I'm still a new brewer and I made the recipe for IPA from john palmer's book. T60 min 1.8 kg of pale malt extract T60 min 28 G Nugget T15 Min 57 G EK Goldings T 5 min 1.8 kg of pale malt extract Dry hop with 28g of EK Goldings. The beer turned out very good but I would like to...

that's probably the logo on the glass that you see reflecting darker

For my second batch I did an IPA and 3rd American Amber ale. I'm always expecting a disaster when comes tasting time but again I was impressed. Started using steeping in those 2 batches and I must say I'm really happy with the tates. The IPA isn't hoppy enough for my taste but it's still...

ya sugar was already in... and it's bottled. So I'll wait and see.

A stupid error had to happen eventually!:drunk: So I'm onto my 3rd batch. Amber ale and I'm transfering my beer into my bottling bucket when I realized I didn't but the black cap at the end of the syphon at the bottom of the fermenter. I saw it about 3/4 of the way into it.. gladly it...

thanks for all the info. I wasn't really worried about it as I saw the kraeusen . I'm mostly curious on why one batch is fermenting like crazy and the next on isn't. Oh well as long as it's good in a few weeks :) Ernie

I have 2 batches right now. 1 IPA. done with White labs 013 no starter, it fermented vividly for a few days.. what I expected. now it's on secondary with dry hopping. almost 3 weeks into secondary and it still lets out a bubble out randomly. I'm about to bottle this next thursday...
