Thanks.

Are there any issues associated with bottling after cold crashing? Do you bottle with cold beer, or do you let the beer return to room temp. prior to bottling?

Does anyone know of a way to make something close to this drink? I'm not much of a soda lover, but this stuff is pretty good.

Thanks for your reply--sounds like good advice. I wondered about the secondary. Made a pretty healthy looking starter. Pitched yesterday and was going great guns by nighttime, room is at a very steady 68. Already slowing down after about 30 hours. I'll try to get it kegged by day 10 so it...

I've brewed a Dunkelweizen that I would like to have for the Superbowl. That is two weeks from the brewdate. My plan is to leave in primary for 13 days, keg and force carbonate (and hope for the best). I could move to secondary in a week, but don't know if I should with a dunkelweizen (or if...

Is is possible to prime as if for bottling, bottle a few, keg the rest, let it carbonate in the keg then dispense under lower pressure. I know i'd get sediment in the beer...

Hi TomSD, This is a terrific thread. What was the source of your secondary regulator? What are your thoughts on the fan above vs. the bilge blower? Scott

This is fermenting at approximately 68 degrees. Shook the fermenter a bit today and got the airlock bubbling again. Do I need to increase the temperature?

I'm between this and converting the Holiday 7 cu. ft. Any feedback?

How long should I wait until I move it to secondary?

OK, It looks like each batch is going to have its own set of questions to answer. I made a Brewer's Best Robust Porter kit. I added some cara pils for body (personal preference--about 1/4 lb) and used White Labs British Ale yeast--which I boosted, very successfully, with a starter. Put...

I tried to attach an image. I transferred to secondary, do the white spots look normal (residual yeast activity) or more like an infection? I'm a newbie--I don't know what to look for. The white smoky looking stuff is just camera flash.

Thanks for the replies. I will do a yeast starter on my next batch.

I used white labs California Ale. I asked the local homebrew shop if I needed to do anything special--he just told me to leave it on the counter during the boil (a little more than an hour) and pitch when the wort was cool. It looked like absolutely lifeless this morning. Next time I'll give...

What are the effects of having two different strains of yeast in the same batch?

Hello all, I made the HopNog kit from Brewer's Best, but added liquid yeast instead of the dry that came with the kit. About18 hours after pitching yeast, NOTHING was happening--no bubbling airlock, no krausen no nothing. Threw in the dry yeast and aerated. Twelve hours later, I'm the...
