    Can I fortify bottle carbonated beer?

    Hi All, I've just finished brewing a batch of a scotch ale. It ended up at 5.5% but I'd like to boost to 7% like an innis and gunn by adding a scotch before bottling. Will this work or will I kill the yeast? Isn't there residual sugar in the alchohol? Would this over carbonate if I use the...

    Dry Hopping a Witbier with Centennial

    Can anyone recommend the amount to use in a Wit? I used Wyeast 3944 and a wheat bear recipe. I plan on splitting this batch 2 weeks into fermentation, and doing half with apricot, and half with some orange/coriander soaked in Vodka. I'm not sure I should add the Centennial to the apricot?

Most of the local shops recommend 290-320 grams for our batches. We are at approximately 3500 ft elevation. I'm thinking about...

    First Lager - Oily Slick Mouth Feel

    So I'm guessing I have diacetyl. Here's the breakdown: Brew House Pilsner wort in a bag kit with 2 packs of Danish Yeast 2042. Yeast was about 2 weeks old. Made the kit to 20L instead of 23L to make it a bit stronger. Yeast was cooled to 8 C and pitched into wort at 10 C. SG of 1.056/...

    Times and temperatures for brewing

    Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and decided to post a few questions. I am using Baron's and Brew House wort-in-a-bag kits for my brewing as I am still learning. I've been doing 2 the following: 1weeks primary at 20 C (heat belt) for ales, 16C for lager (this is my basement temp)...
