    Bottling Day Question

    I cold crashed my IPA for three days and I'm now ready to bottle. Should I let it return to room temp prior to bottling. I'm looking at all the priming calculators and I'm seeing that temp is important for the priming addition. I'll be storing the beer in the basement as it carbs, which is...

    racking question

    I'll be racking just over 5 gallons into a 6.5 gallon secondary. Is the 1.5 gallons of extra headspace an oxidation problem?

    Brew Day Fiasco!!

    Ok, my wife left town so I hit the brew store for the first time to use my newly acquired (Xmas) brew gear. It's my first attempt at AGB. Ok, honestly, my first time brewing period. I'm typing as I go along, but if I don't start chronicalling now, I'm sure I'll miss some kodak moments you may...

    Dumb Question about OG

    OK, I know I have a target OG of 1.069. I also know that I should stop lautering when the runnings hit about 1.010. The question is, do I add plain water to the wort to hit my desired OG if it is still too high after lautering, and if that is the case, I suppose it is possible not to hit my...
