A quick question about this beer. I made one from an extract kit and added the 2 vanilla beans and 4 oz of bourbon to secondary. Plan to add more bourbon at bottling. My questions is, will the "sugar" in the bourbon make the bottles carbonate? If not, how much sugar should I add to bottling bucket.

For those that have made this...how sweet are we talking? I plan to use the 10# sugar with 10 - Welch's grape juice concentrate, not the stuff that has the high fructose corn syrup in it...

I finally have done my first lager, a Vienna. I have been lagering for 2 weeks, and will probably let it go another 2 weeks. My question is this, I plan to bottle and wondering if I need to let the temp of the beer rise back up to room temp. before adding anything for carbonation...

All, appreciate all the feedback. I have not tasted yet, but still one more question. What do you think about the gravity being at 1.001???? Again started at 1.065

Yes, the first running's.

So, a little more explanation of what happened. Again my first attempt at AG. I misunderstood my LHBS instructions about the mash water and I drained off and didn't use, at first. I used my sparge water in the kettle, but since my gravity was so low, .010, I got nervous and added 3# off DME...

All, I did my first all-grain a few weeks ago and attempted to brew a belgian wit. My gravities are looking pretty good but the beer looks very, very "unfiltered" and doesn't appear to be clearing any at all. My question, should I have strained before putting into primary? I did not strain and...

I just did an extract 5 gallon batch of the White House Honey Porter. The OG is at 1.064???? Temp of batch was 68F. Only thing I did different was use 2# of honey instead of 1#. Any ideas/concerns?
