Hi guys, I am going to be legging my Oktoberfest this weekend and had a couple questions. It has been lagering at 38 degrees for about 8 weeks now in the primary and it is ready to go. First, should I transfer it into a secondary today and let it settle again? Second, do I let it rise to room...

Ok so I kegged two beers yesterday afternoon. I am going to force carb at 30psi for 24 hours and then drop to serving psi. I woke up this morning and checked it and the pressure had dropped from 30 to 18. I sprayed it all down to check for leaks and found nothing. The tank is in the fridge with...

OK all so I am kegging two brews on Saturday. I have been reading like crazy since it is my first time kegging. I am leaning towards the 30 psi for 24 hours and then dropping to serving pressure for a few days until ready. My questions are these: 1. After 30 psi for 24 hours do I release the...

I just got my temp controller for my Keezer today and I am not really sure how to use the probe for best results. I searched the forums and there are some threads but a lot of them are older. I first put water in a glass bottle and submerged the probe but then freaked out when I saw threads that...

I brewed two beers last Saturday and fermentation is going great on both so far. I want to have them ready for the first weekend of football (September 9th) so I was curious if I could do three weeks in the primary and then rack to a keg and use the set it and forget it method to have it ready...

Hi All, I'm in a bit of a panic over here. I brewed last night and I think I messed up the yeast rehydration. I misread the instructions and I boiled the water on the stove, removed it from the heat, added the yeast while it was really hot still and then moved to a measuring cup. After I...

Hi guys, I looked all over the forum and couldn't find anything on this. I heard that using Christmas lights in your box after you are done bottling is a good way to keep the beers at a reasonable temperature so they can condition properly. Anyone ever tried that before?

OK, I am a noob so I might just be freaking out, but I have to ask cause it is killing me. I brewed last saturday night (Saison) so now it has been 6 days. I re-hydrated a dry yeast, but I might have done it wrong. I only let it set for about 6 minutes and I used room temp to cool water, not...

Hi all! I just did my first batch on Saturday and I have a couple of questions. It seems as though I am doing well, I am just crazy anal and want to confirm with the masters out here. The beer is a Saison clone. 1. The temp is right at 68, but I read that Saison's should be higher...

Hi everyone!! I am a new brewer from Charlotte, NC. I won my fantasy football league this year and the winnings were enough for me to purchase a deluxe two stage brewing system! I made my first batch on Saturday and it is a Saison clone. Can't wait!! Looking forward to many more!
