Thanks guys. I think i will continue using the bag. Like i said it has never clogged on me. I hope im not losing flavors......lol

Thanks yooper. I got slightly worried because I have noticed little to no trub development in my last beer that has been in seconday for almost a week. I didn't want to miss out on valuable flavors. I understand secondary is an old school thing that most people have abandoned. I personally...

I got the bag from my LHBS. It is sold by BrewCraft usa I think its a 2x5" Fine nylon keg hop bag. I use it at the bottom of my syphon (never had any problems). I use a sanitized piece of 4x fly fishing tippet to keep it tied on. Yes jbb3, I bottle carb. AND you are right, I doubt it is enough...

Hey guys. I gotsa question fer yeh. I typically use a fine mesh bad over the bottom of my autosyphon when racking after dry hopping. I have been hooked on using it everytime I rack beer lately (dry hopped and NON dry hopped). I feel I get less yuckies racked in this way. Will I lose valuable...

When your friend finishes a beer and you're like, "Can I have that?" "It's empty...." "I know, can I have it?

I may need to try this one

Thanks guys. I think im going to play it safe and let it sit for a few more days to a week before i leave town. I greatly appreciate the help and advice. Thanks, J

Thanks for the help and responses guys. Thanks fimpster. I used my homemade copper wort chiller for the first time on this batch!!! ;) The wort was at 70 degrees F when i took the reading. (I wish i would have taken it out of the stock pot instead of the topped off beer from carboy.)...

Hey guys, I brewed an AMERICAN Stout recipe (merica!) 8 days ago. I knew it was having a fast aggressive ferment. Had great krausen going, lots of bubble CO2 activity with gases coming off and everything. I checked the gravity today and was WAY closer than expected. Recipe was built by my me...

Should i keep the S airlock on during dry hopping or should i seal it with a piece of sanitized foil with a rubber band?

Do I need to worry about suckback during dry hopping? Should I continue use with the airlock or switch to sanitized foil and rubber band technique? (that i have never used by the way) I guess what I am asking is that if I am after aromas should i try and trap the air? or would it become...

Awesome, thanks SubD. Thanks Everyone. I actually just got done cleaning everything up lol. Its a Stone IPA clone. I ended throwing the extra 1/2 ounce in. I think its going to work good. Just hope everything turns out ok. Stone IPA clone (semi adjusted recipe) & 1oz Centennial + 1oz Chinook...

Thanks guys. Its a Stone IPA clone that i modified a little. Think 2oz should be good???

So I plan on dry hopping for the first time. For a 5 Gallon batch. My recipe says to dry hop 1 oz Centennial hop pellets and .5 oz Chinook pellets. Should i use the entire 1 oz bag of Chinook or stick to the recipe??? Wanting others opinions. What are your thoughts? I have little experience...

IsLiz. let me know how that Fresh Squeezed turns out. I love that beer and have been tempted to clone it.

Awesome. Yooper its a privilege to get a response from you. I have read tons of your posts and I have learned alot from your responses to others. I moved the carboy from a semi coolish room to a warm room and rousted in there four days ago. I havent swirled it in a couple days because i have...

Ok guys, I have got a couple more questions. I warmed up my carboy for a few days and gave it a gentle swirl to roust the yeast. I took a gravity reading and in the last four days it has only dropped 2 points. I gave it another gentle swirl and doesnt seem like there is much more fermentation...
