I've been bottling for almost two years now, and usually I don't have any problems with bottle conditioning. My process is basic: extract brewing, then after primary fermentation is complete I rack to secondary, stays for a few weeks then bottle with a cup of priming sugar (boiled with water)...

Last week brewed a bavarian style hef using 8lbs of extract (4 of wheat and 4 of pilsner) with WLP300 liquid yeast. I brewed last Friday, pitching the yeast on last Friday night. By Saturday morning it was going and roared through the weekend. I let it ferment hot, like 75 deg and above (I wants...

Relatively new homebrewer here, I'm on batch 18 since November of 2010. Finally getting a sense of how my beers age (I bottle condition everything, no room yet for kegerator). I'm still an extract brewer, but I started to notice that some of my beers age into this weird flavor I dont like...

Has anyone experimented with intentionally fermenting in the 75-80deg range? Right now I have a Bavarian Hef with WLP300 that I put in my non-AC'd living room and it ripped and roared around 76-78deg. Burnside Brewing, one of my favorite local houses, has a beer called 'The Fruity Monk'...

I'm on my first sour! It's a blackberry lambic. I started with an extract wheat beer, then added 7lbs of frozen blackberries (that I picked!) as well as a culture starter (started 2 days prior) of the liquid Belgian Sour Mix (brett) and a liquid vial of lacto. After like a week or so of that...

My brewpot is a nice tri bottom brewpot with integrated thermometer and spigot. Then on the inside of the spigot I have a bazooka. The problem is that I can never seem to get a full drain using the bazooka and Im wondering about going to a false bottom instead. Thoughts on this? Thanks!
