Thankyou that is what I was going to try I will let you know in a couple weeks.

add sugar then boil for 5 min

I boil a cup of water and add sugar for 5 min, let it cool then pour into my bottling bucket then I siphon from the primary fermenter to bottling bucket.

5 oz priming sugar, I also have moved the beer into the tub where the house is quite a bit warmer and if another bottle blows it wont be such a mess. Maybe in a couple more weeks at a warmer temp it will be carbonated, but it was bottled for 3 week before it was moved to a cooler temp

One more thing if it matters I only opened 2 beers both very flat

My beginning reading was 1.063 and ended at 1.012

Ok Im brewing a Porter, not my first beer but pretty close. Had the beer in primary fermenter for 6 weeks then bottled. Had the beer in the bottles for 3 weeks when one bottle exploded, bad deal but I thought maybe I didnt let it ferment long enough for dark beer. So I put all the bottles in...

I know that he has taken some readings, but I'm not sure how many.

My husband is working on making his first batch ever. He bought a kit that is called Flat Tire. It's supposed to be similar to Fat Tire. It spent a week in the bucket in a room that was in the 60's temperature wise (it bubbled nicely). On Sunday he moved it to the carboy and placed it in the...

Well, we found a better place for it. We have a boot room that is a bit cooler than the rest of the house, but warmer than the basement. It's about 65 degrees in there. We just need to remember not to trip on the bucket when we come in the front door. It does seem to be bubbling away now.

It was a kit that is supposed to be like Fat Tire beer. The yeast was a smack pack one. It went into the fermenter yesterday. My husband looked at it this morning, but he didn't mention seeing any airlock activity yet. Would it be better if we brought it upstairs? The temperature upstairs...

My husband and I just did our first home brew batch. The fermenter is in the basement. The temperature in the basement is about 57 degrees. Is this too cold? It's not sitting on the cold concrete. It's up on a table. What is the ideal temperature?

I live in Nebraska, just west of Omaha. I don't drink. This is for my husband. He likes beers like fat tire, boulevard, bush lite, lots of kinds. He wants to brew his own because we camp a lot with friends. One of the friends is always showing off homemade wine. My husband is jealous and...

My husband wants to start brewing beer. Actually, he has left it to me to find the kit, and I will most likely do a lot of the brewing. What is the best home kit to buy, and what equipment do I need for bottling? I was hoping to not spend a ton of money. Please let me know what you think...
