Is it unheard of to have 1.37 ounce of corn sugar per gallon? When do ppl normally experience bottle bombs?

The problem is that I made a solution of 8 cups of water with ~1 cup (20 ounces per my scale) of corn sugar. So, to each 4 gallon bucket of cider, for a total of five 4 gallon buckets(20 gallons), I planned on adding 2.5 cups of solution. After I added 2.5 cups to 3 of the buckets, I only had...

So, some water from my priming sugar solution boiled off and I ended up with approximately 1.37 ounces of corn sugar per gallon. Are these puppies gonna blow? This batch was 12 gallons of cider and pasteurizing 120 bottles would be crazy. Thanks!

Hey guys, I just purchased all of this from the last 2 pallets, but I can't use any of it because I gotta stop brewing to make room for other priorities. If anyone needs some cheap grain ASAP, this would be what you're lookin for. I'd like to sell it all at once. I can meet up downtown this...

That'd be awesome! I'll fill in the details tmr. The last batch def had a nail polish, astringent taste to it...

Sounds good. Looks like I'll just have to pick up a couple packets of yeast then, instead of taking the risk of throwing away bad beer later. It'll only be my 4th batch of AG and the first two were almost undrinkable. Thanks!

I know that the slurry is supposed to be in fridge, but I don't have one, and the slurry has been sitting at room temp. Is it possible to wash and reuse the yeast after it's been sitting in the carboys for a week at room temp? Thanks!!

Let me know if ya find that video:) It sounds like a good idea at the start

Im betting my dishwasher will only hold 80-90 bottles, which would sanitize at least half of a 15gal batch. I was also planning on removing the dishwasher racks instead of buying a bottle tree. (You can start to see how cheap I am:) Thanks!!

Anyone ever use a turkey baster in lieu of the miraculous vinator? Funds are runnin low.

I can't even recall the nuances of the first sip of a Belgian that I enjoyed over the weekend. That being said, I also did not enjoy a decades worth of Belgians and forget its overall quality.

Sounds like an awesome plan.

Do we also have an idea of when the next group buy will take place? My current order will prob only last me about 10 weeks.

Im sure some of you will be at Tangled Up In Brew tonight. It'd be great to meet some other brewers, as I've only been doing this for 6 months. I'll be wearing a bright blue puffy jacket if anyone wants to say hello.

Btw, what's an EOD, is it already available?

This might be a crazy question, but would the order arrive before next weekend?

i hope its just hops, cuz I used pellets. thanks for lettin me know tha you saw leaves when using pellets! The bubbles around the leaves first made me think thry were little colonies of micro organisms :eek:

The BioClear that I used stated on the bottle "Add 1 tsp-2tbsp, add 1 tsp, wait a day then add more as appropriate" However, I just added the 2 tbsp right off the bat. Now, I've got floaters, that look kinda scale-y/flaky. Have you guys had this happen before? Thanks!!

Ok, I'll just put some sanitized tin foil over and then pitch Tmr morning
