Tastes fine and looks fine. Just crazy foamy Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I finished my Guinness clone. The taste is really solid, but whenever I open a bottle, it is fine for about 40 seconds than starts foaming like crazy and overflowing. What would lead to that?

Thanks all! Will do the other bucket Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hi all- I'm ready to bottle my Guinness clone. The recipe calls for moving the beer to a bottling bucket and that's when the sugar/water mix goes in. I'd like to just bottle from the fermenter. Can I just pour the sugar/water mix into the fermenter before bottling and give it a couple spoons...

Thanks all. Yes, it was measured about 20 minutes after it was removed from stove, probably about 78-79 degrees

this is what the recipe listed for stats Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Just finished brewing a Guinness Clone by Learn to Brew and put it in for fermentation. This is my 3rd attempt, had one good and one bad Anyway this is the first one I used the hydrometer. My results were: 32 SP. GR 5% potential ABV 10 Brix/Plato Is that good? How should I read that Sent...

Hi all - so I am 1-for-2 in Brewing so far. First Brooklyn Beer Kit IPA was solid, second "Whiny the Youngster" (Pliny clone) was awful. I think a lot had to do with the fact that I didn't chill the wort quick enough, and pitched the yeast in too warm of wort. The final taste was like spoiled...

So would you all suggest the secondary dry hop for just a week? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I'm trying to stick to the instructs as well as possible Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I added the dry hops, and now it will stay in for another two weeks. Do I keep the airlock on?

Thanks all

There are hops that need to be added when it's time to do the secondary fermentation.

Hello all - so, I am doing my 2nd batch now, it is the Whiny the Younger from Jasper's Brewing. The last beer I brewed was in a Gallon Carboy, and this one is much bigger a recipe so I upgraded my kit to a 5 Gallon bucket (The Ale Pail) for Primary Fermentation. My question is, how do I know...

Is there any way to check the Alcohol Content now that it is bottled, or did it have to be done during fermentation?

The beer is done. Had it today, very tasty for a first attempt. Had some sediment on the bottom if each bottle, and also the auto siphon didn't work on its own when I bottled them two weeks ago. Thanks to everyone on here for their help! Now to decide what to try next.

It's whatever came with the Brooklyn Brew Kit

That was the pic before I removed the tube and put the airlock on. Bubbles had slowed. It is now air locked away in the closet for a few weeks!

Have now replaced the blow off tube with the airlock. Is the discolored stuff on the bottom normal ?

It's is what it looks like after ice bath, as it now sits for a couple days. Should it be two different colors? With a lot of sediment it looks, on the bottom?
