I regularly bottle different sizes from 1 batch and have more variety between bottles of the same size than different as far as I can recall. Also, since fermentation is an exothermic bottle, wouldn't bigger bottles make slightly warmer beer in the bottle causing slightly faster carbing, making...

Nice! :mug: Good luck having any of this batch be around by the time the next one comes in. :)

Ouch. Thanks for sharing. :mug: I'm trying to prepare for 1 or 2 batches out when possible. Gotta protect that pipeline. :) I have 1 backup bottling wand, and rotating 1 backup bag of caps, sealed measured priming sugar, spare case of clean bottles. Working on a 2nd bottle capper...

0.99999999... = 1.00000000... The best explanation I've heard for why I believe OP is correct, (if the zeroes are added) is that it is not possible to place a number between 0.nines forever and 1.zeros forever on a number line, therefore they must be at the same place on the number line.

snboggs I'm only going off of what I've read on this forum mainly, so for your amusement only, here is what I think. If you were careful with cleaning and sanitizing the bottles, you have basically put them into individual secondary fermenters. The main concern I've read about with secondaries...

Alright, alright everybody I'm down with the Star-San. :) I think my main problems were the recipe and temperature control. BeardedBrews you are correct about the oktoberfest recipe, and mine was also a gift, but I think I will try again with a higher temperature range recipe...

I guess my response to that is to ask if all you guys own stock in the company? :) Seriously though, it's not the Star-San it's the no rinse part. Some irrational fear of foam I guess. Most of this whole brewing process has been about the trip not the destination for me. And you know...

Edit: I should clarify that I rinsed everything, that I sanitized with bleach solution, with brita water from the tap, which I'm sure is full of all sorts of organisms. Vinegar in the bleach came from this thread and links within https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=195477 All my...

frazier I didn't think it looked that bad. (I'm trying to not to take this personally ;) ) I going to take a sample today and see what it tastes like. I love vinegar, been drinking it straight since youth, but I don't know about in my beer. Thanks. m00ps I'm thinking about plastic...

Hi Long time Drinker, First time Brewer here, :mug: Lots of great information here. I guess I'm looking for warm hope as I bottle this stuff anyway, right? :) I've done a lot of my reading after putting my first batch in the fermenting bucket. Well I've let it sit with a weighted down...
