2 weeks in the bottle. The beer wasn't completely flat...just didn't have head or a fizz when opening the bottle. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I cracked my first couple of bottles of my first batch. The first one was fantastic....great carbonation. However, the second one was flat....but tasted great. Did I just not get the bottle cap on correctly? The cap came off very easily, so I am pretty sure that I didn't get a good seal. I have...

Sweet idea. I have my first batch of Caribou Slobber in bottles. I am going to brew a hoppy wheat in the next couple of weeks. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

I just bottled my Caribou Slobber. Took a little sample and really enjoyed it. I left it in the primary for four weeks. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

It was about 1.5 weeks into fermentation. I had a blanket over it...but that was it. My main focus was to keep the family warm....Beer was an afterthought. :-) Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

Thanks for the tip about pitching the yeast. I had very active fermentation for a few days...but I will try that next time to see if there is a difference. I am new to this and am going by the kit instructions which say to move to a secondary. Plus, I could get another batch going...I only have...

2 weeks in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, 2 weeks of bottle conditioning. They say you don't need to rack to a secondary, but the instructions recommend it to help clear up the beer. Using a carboy. Keeping it around 68 degrees. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

Today, I took advantage of the warm weather and brewed me first 5 gallon batch. I made the Caribou Slobber that came with my starter kit from Northern Brewer. Overall, the process went well. Until I pitched the yeast. Some of it got stuck on the funnel that I used. Hoping that it doesn't slow...
