    Traveling with beer while bottle conditioning???

    Thanks for your thoughts. I was planning on using blue cold packs in an ice chest to keep it about 70 degrees both while driving and stopping. I’m not trying to cool it down but rather keep it from getting too hot.

    Wort cooldown temps and time????

    This is going to be kind of long because I want to be pretty specific. I think I’ve made 6 or 7 batches of homebrew (all from kits) and I’ve had this situation come up pretty often. I follow instructions pretty well (as I really don’t know yet how deviations affect the outcome that much). With...

    Bavarian Hefe not bubbling????

    Making me thirsty too! Thanks for your input. I’m in the Deep South so I might need to this a little later in the year next time. Even with AC vented into the basement the coldest it gets this time of year is the lower 60s. As I get better at this, I will invest in another refrig and a temp...

    Traveling with beer while bottle conditioning???

    Ok.. odd question but it may help others too. As of writing this our 5 gallon Northern Brewers Bavarian Hefe extract kit has been in primary for one week. I am planning on bottling it next Sunday 8/13. Three days after bottling, we start a two day car trip to the beach and we will be there for...

    Bavarian Hefe not bubbling????
