    High final brix reading. Stuck fermentation?

    My peach wine has stopped bubbling for a week now. So I decided to check it and bottle. It reads 10 brix. Is this stuck fermentation or really ready to bottle?

    dry hop & slow fermentation

    My fermentation is slow with not as much krausen as I'm used to, so I let it ferment 3 days longer before adding the 3oz of dry hops (Zombie Dust clone). Once the 7 days or so is up and its still fermenting possibly, can I try and remove the bag of dry hops and let it sit to clear, or will...

    Filtering because of an accident

    So, I thought I'd try the irish moss route to clear my pale ale up before going into the primary. I dumped the whole package into the boil instead of 1 tbs or something like that. The primary is very murky (cloudy) and is a day or two away from dry hopping in secondary. Only about the top 1"...

    Addition of Dry Hops

    My IPA is bubbling every 45 sec now. Its been fermenting for 5 days at least. Im going to ad Citra and Cascade hops to the primary for dry hopping. Is now too early? Should I wait till no activity at ALL?

    Oatmeal Stout high FG

    My oatmeal stout has been in primary fermenter for 2 weeks. I went to bottle today and had an FG of 1.019. My OG was 1.042. Will this be weak? Am I missing something?

    Og not on the mark

    My ipa called for an og of 1.062. When tested mine came out to 1.052. I think I added too much fill water after boil. Will this make for a nasty beer? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    airlock changeout and reverse siphoning

    I was letting a batch of Oatmeal Stout set. The batch had been done fermenting for about a week and I had blow off tubes on them. I need the tubes for another batch I was cooking, so i took them off and put normal air locks on them. The airlocks are the S type ones and the sanitized water is...

    Steeping temp

    I am working on a Brewers best ipa and my steeping temp got to 180 for about 7-10 minutes. Is this a big deal since it went over the advertised 165? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Bottle preparation

    For bottling I usually rinse the previously used bottles out and try to make sure there is no funk in the bottom. Then I rinse in a "one step" sanitizer solution for a few minutes. After this, I bottle. Is this a good practice? My bottles always seem to have a white film on them from the...

    Blow off tube question

    I'm doing my second batch of beer (a pale ale) and used a blow off tube just in case. Well it was definately needed. My question is, is all of the krausen going into the small jug taking away from anything? It smells strong like hops. I didnt know if the krausen is an important aid in the taste.
