Well, I changed today when I bottled my Brown Ale... bought a bottling bucket and now I pour the sugar water into the bucket and siphon into that, then bottle. But for the aforementioned round... the one with 75% flat bottles... I poured the sugar water solution into my carboy, let it sit for...

Ah. No, none of that. A few of them have had a pretty loud "pffffft" when opened, and one began to foam over pretty fast, but otherwise no.

"Bottle bombing"?

So, I think I know WHY, but what I don't know is HOW TO FIX. Bottled a batch of an American Pale Ale three weeks back. I'm pretty sure I didn't mix in the bottling sugar enough, since some of the bottles are really well carbonated, and some are as flat as my coffee table. I generally...

5, per the price tag.

So, having some issues with the final yield or total amount of beer I'm getting out of a batch. First, I suppose I should describe my process: Steep/Boil using a 16 quart stock pot on the stove, using a 5-gallon kit from my local brewing supply store (I know, I know, but I haven't gotten...

If it matters, I boiled the water and chilled in an ice bath before adding the coffee grounds. Hoping that sufficed for sanitation. I couldn't think of any way to sanitize the beans themselves, but would absolutely welcome any suggestions. :mug:

That's what I did this past weekend. It's a Stout, using Liquid Amber Extract, and I put a couple scoops of ground coffee (about what I'd use to make a pot of coffee) into a plastic container (like a plastic butter tub, sorta), added cold water, and let sit for ~ 36 hours. Once I brewed and...

I actually split the difference, since I happened to have a 12 ounce bottle of honey. Just dumped the whole thing in. Think I'm going to call it "Weiss Men Can't Jump" :D Thanks, everyone. Appreciate.

Howdy, all: I made this last week on Friday: http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=11398 What I don't see mention of is adding any sort of sugar at the bottling time. I'm wondering if I should use a honey/water mixture, regular corn sugar, or if the addition of the honey at...

Nice! I'm new here, and new to brewing, and also in your area (104th and Wads, roughly). Let's get together and brew!

Thanks. It was 3 tablespoons maple syrup in 1/4 cup water for the 1 gallon carboy. I *think* the syrup/water was too hot when I added it to the beer, killed off the remaining yeast. Then, too, maybe I got a little impatient and opened the first bottle a bit soon. I'm going to let...

Howdy, all. New to this home brewing thing. Buddy bought me a kit for Christmas, and made my third batch last night, a wheat. First was a porter that came with the kit, second was an IPA that was a kit bought at a local brew supply store. Porter tasted good, but is as flat as Kansas. IPA...
