Hey everyone, I have a Saison that's been in the carboy for a couple of months, now ready to bottle, that I'd like to add a champagne yeast for bottling. I've tried searching the threads and can't seem to find answers as to the timing and method of what I'm trying to do. Let me say at the...

Hi everyone, Very cold starter wort question. First though, the requisite story: earlier today, I made a starter for a Saison I'm brewing tomorrow evening. Everything went as planned, and even though those last few degrees of cooling were uncharacteristically difficult to reach, I finally...

So, I'm still relatively new to homebrewing but I have several brews under my belt already. However, last Saturday, after adding the priming sugar to my bottling bucket and gently racking the beer onto it, I was hastily pulled away on some family business. I was gone for two hours and...

Hey everyone, I'm building a MLT this weekend out of a Coleman Extreme 52 quart cooler, and trying to make some final preparations for the actual design. My question regards the lauter manifold: what benefit does a full stainless steel ring (i.e. one connected to a copper tee pipe) have over...

I just posted something similar to this on an existing thread but thought I would expand it to see everyone else's thoughts. In short, since I'm aiming to move exclusively to all grain brewing (I'm relatively new, with only a few batches under my belt) I'm looking at some of the standard...

Hi everyone, Relatively new homebrewer here with a question about the gravity of a Stout I'm close to bottling. Quick background: a month ago, I brewed a Chocolate Hazelnut stout with extract and steeped grains. My starting gravity was pretty high at 1.056. I've been monitoring the...

Hi everyone, I'm brewing a stout (fermenting away as we speak) to which I'd like add a bit of hazelnut flavoring. Accordingly, I'm planning on adding a few ounces in secondary or (more likely) at bottling. Now I know several people have tried this in different forms here, but I'm unsure of...

Hello everyone, I'm new to home brewing and very excited. So excited, in fact, that two weeks into fermentation (i.e. today) I decided to pull a sample from my fermentation bucket's spigot and check the beer's gravity. When I did this though, I gently lifted the airlock from the bucket in...
