    how do you know your beers done fermenting?

    Thanks for clearly pointing that out. I wondered if it was just off gasing... I guess even at a cooler temperature of 65F you can still see a steady stream of co2 being released. because thst is what i was seeing, a small amount of tiny bubbles steadily rising up from bottom to top.

    how do you know your beers done fermenting?

    I understand the importance of the hydrometer and of course I use mine as its a great tool. I usually follow the rule to take three consecuitive hydrometer readings before bottiling but is it fool proof? Like if the fermentation is almost done and its going very slowly then it may take more...

    racking & bottiling trub = bottle bombs?

    It had to have been done. all my other beers were perfectly fine and i actually primed them with sugar. The one thst exploded wasnt primed with sugar. Which is bizzare to me.... The only difference i noticed between them other than the priming sugar was the fact that the beer that exploded...

    calculating potential alcohol in beer

    Hahaa Thats pretty funny. actually these are pretty basic granola bars with many of the same ingridients as you would find in beer. as soon as i seen "barley malt" i knew i had to try it. there is also oats rice and golden syrup in them and they are preservative and color free. so i mean id...

    really???! thats news to me, when i first started out on this website I was reading the various threads on ferment conditioning and one of my questions was the same as many ppl's " how long after fermentation do I have to wait to bottle?" Everyone that had a time frame to offer said ATLEAST 2...

    fermenter conditioning length of time for small fermenters

    I dont know. Thats a good question. I guess i was looking at this in terms of volume, and since I have less volume i thought it should clean up better, but your right there is less yeast to assist cleaning up. i do know that yeast multiply based on the sugar amount in the wort. so i guess...

    fermenter conditioning length of time for small fermenters

    Hello , I searched for similar forums but had no luck finding one. Anyways Im wondering if Im fermenting in a small carboy or fermenter, say a 1 gal or 2 gallon size, would that mean it doesnt take as long for the yeast to condition and clean up the beer ? Im talking about after the...

    I thought starters were a great way to improve your brewing? Why not use them for dry ale yeast?

    calculating potential alcohol in beer

    yea thats a good point, Im hoping for around 1.010 as a FG but well see. 3.5-4% might be okay, it would make a good session beer, something Iv not yet brewed. Althought it almost seems a waste to brew a batch of beer and not have much alcohol potency to it lol. I wonder if its too late to add...

    calculating potential alcohol in beer

    well....why not!?! It all started when I noticed a bag of granola bars sitting in the cupboard and seen they expired feb 18th. I have grown to not care for eating dry grains anymore as food, I prefer to enjoy grains soaked in water and then yeast sprinkled on top of them :) The fermentation can...

    Why Add Malt extract before Hops?

    Okay, take the pot off the heat to add sugar extract, but isnt that only for Liquid malt extract? I think i heard there are no worries about that for DME, which I guess makes sense since it floats more.
