I just boxed them up and they were placed in a closet to carb up. So 70 ish degree. Everything has mellowed more and it's a great batch. Will make it again soon.

Would certainly help things.

Been between my California Common clone and Thomas Creek Dockside Pilsner.

I ended up with a beer I'm especially proud of. Was worried I let it get to cold during the two week primary fermentation. It finished out once I pulled it out of the swamp cooler before moving to secondary and a 2 week fridge lagering. Bottled and conditioned now for 3 weeks. Not quite the...

After reading that I went and looked at other systems and saw this. Certainly not want to go cheap and have to redo to much if possible in the future. Upgrade to TapRite regulator. Trying to see if buying a keg there with free shipping would be better than here. CO2 tanks are a bit cheaper...

What is the average life of a 5lb tank on two kegs? Also how long will the beer last in a keg. I would assume that as long as it's carbed it's good but I've learned not to assume.

I figured the CO2 tank was to be upgraded but for sine reason it never clicked that I have the same rank for my paintball gun. I knew the keg was to be bought but now I'll price upgrading the tank and regulator. Thanks everyone.

I found this at kegconnection and I see it says it comes with everything needed, but was wondering if there was any hidden items that I might need to make it an easier transition to kegging? I will also eventually be upgrading this to a keezer set up, will there be any snags I might run into...

Glad to hear it can get a bit warmer now, cause I think my cooler was slow leaking at the drain or it was just condensation transferring to the carpet. Either way I was asked nicely in an angry tone to move the cooler outside. So I now have to tip it on its side so the carboy will fit in there...

After another month in the bottles, I rarely have that weird feeling about it. Then again, I think I was the only one that noticed it. So it might just be me. Turned out to be a nice brew.

LHBS was not open yesterday but picked up a new hydrometer at lunch. Was hoping it was fine but wanted to ask. Guess it goes back to 55 degrees or so for another week or two.

April 7th I made my Cal. Common using San Fran lager yeast. This past Sunday I was in the middle of getting ready of checking gravity and had a mishap and thought I heard the hydrometer crack. I went ahead and swapped it to the secondary. After sitting out some I noticed it stared bubbling...

Homebrew store will replace the missing hops and will the 34/70 lager dry yeast. NVM... upgraded to the correct liquid yeast. Edited due to dropping iphone.

I did not notice that about the yeast until just now. Not only was i given the wrong yeast, I was also short on the NB. I am glad I slowed down a bit and not rushed through it or I may not have been to happy with the outcome compared to the Anchor I have in the fridge. Emailing the HB shop...

My ingredients: Pilsen Light Malt Extract Muntons Crystal 60 16 oz NB .5 oz flavor and aroma Warrior for bittereing Safale US-05 (11.5g) dry yeast I will hold off on this a day or two so I can get a second pack of yeast now or maybe even change it out. Will the Warrior be best to use in...

So after transferring the wort from boiling pot to fermentation bucket I will get it down to the 62-70 degrees range then pitch the yeast in and then get it to the 55 degree mark?

Want to make this tonight and I have a question. How long after pitching this yeast, how fast should it get to the 55 degree mark? Directions I have from my Homebrew store makes it seem like I wait for 24-36 hours then get it down to the 62-70 degree mark. My Brown Ale I have, I waited 12...

I have a stick on thermometer that typically read in the low to mid 60's while in the primary. I will give it the other few weeks to age better and hope it all levels out more. The kit came from a Homebrew store. If there is a ratio of 1 week to 1.010 of OG, my 1.050 would need the 5 weeks...

It probably did get a little higher in the last few days in the secondary but not as much as I had thought. I did notice the other day when I had a Black Lager, that it had the same slick feeling to it as mine did. Are there certain ingredients that tend to have the same effect to the beer as...
