    Hello, I am getting ready to bottle a double IPA (9% alc/v) fermented with Nottingham yeast. I am wondering if I need to add some more yeast before bottling. I dumped the yeast cake a week ago (conical). The beer was brewed about 3.5 weeks ago. My question: Do I need to add a bit of...

    Conical fermenter worries - Dump batch?

    It's my first time around using my new Blichmann 7g Fermenator. I love it. So much so that it's making me forgetful. After taking a sample of my wort, I forgot to place back the pressure relief valve. Then, i left for the weekend. So my brew was resting for almost 3 days without the pressure...

    Tasted beer(IPA) after 2 weeks in secondary

    I should transfer the beer from secondary glass carboy back into the fermentation bucket and then into the bottles? Not from secondary straight into bottles? Thanks for the quick reply!

    Tasted beer(IPA) after 2 weeks in secondary

    First post! Of many to come I'm sure. :fro: So, my baby spend 8 days in the primary at an OG of 1.0062. I then transfered it into secondary carboy and added 3oz of fresh Cascade hops on top. After 13 days in the secondary I decided to get a sample to taste and to measure its gravity. It...
