I want to bottle this weekend but forgot to buy corn sugar. dont have any dme or lme. not sure if it matters but its a philadelphia pale ale a yards clone. Will I be ok to use 2/3 cup of regular sugar?

Thanks for the advice. I think Ill go with the kegerator. Taste is important but it would be cool for the space. thanks

Right now I naturally carbinate in bottles. So it would be the same as that?

I have been brwing a little over a year and i hate bottling. I am ready to start kegging. Its in the northern brewer magazine for 66 bucks. I planned on buying a used kegerator but saw this and thought I would see what people thought.

I am trying a new sanitizer B.E.S.T I soaked my bottles and inverted them and let dry. Then filled one with water and thought I tasted the sanitizer should I rinse after I take bottles out of sanitizer the directions were not to clear. I am bottling now. am I ok

I have been brewing about a year. Started with kits and moved on to recipes so im no rookie but still have alot of questions and alot more to learn. this site have helped me alot.Im looking for a book thats practical and not so technical. if that makes sense.thanks

since my gravity is low to begin with wil fermentation be quicker? maybe i just took a bad reading.

Yes it was a five gallon batch, I thought I shook it good. tThat makes sense. Its been fermenting good for two days. thought about taking another reading but didnt want to interupt. should I?

Is there anything i can do to get the alcohol % a little higher?

I just brewed a pale ale from a recipe from my lhbs. I was trying to get close to a beer from yards brewing co. The philadelphia pale ale.my grains were 1lb of briess crystal that i steeped. Then I added 3.3 lb of briess pilsen lme. Then added 1oz of centennial hop pelet. boiled 40 min added...

thanks for the feedback. I think ill try it and see how it goes. If I save a few bucks on yeast I can use the money for more beer.

what is the advantage? Can you do it if your extract or partial mashing? I am still kinda new at this I only have done 5 batches of extract and doing a recipe from this forum partial mash later this week. Seem like more options if you get away from the kits.

Im still a newbe ive done about 7 brews all extract. Im looking for something like a shocktop or bue moon or something like that. I want to try to clone something I like because I dont like all weat beers. So if you dont have a recipe than maybe recomend one to try thats similar.

I always check after 1 week to see, and my other five brews carbinated. I guess I just freaked out a little. thanks for your help

This is my sixth brew and always carbinated after one week in bottle just cracked one open and flat if I pour it back and forth into two glasses i get a very small head. tastes great but flat. Its a exract kit from northern brewer. Irish red ale. Anything I can do?

thats cool, I taste from the primary to the secondary. good luck with it

Irsh red ale recipe kit that I have done beforeand never had a probem.I tasted it while racking to the secondary and tastes watered down. The only thing different was I used a bigger burner, passed brews were on the stove this boil was hotter. I could have added to much water to thr fermenter...

your fine dont worry

thanks ill check it out

bought a six pack dogfish head indian brown ale. It was incredible would love a recipe for that or anything even close. great beer to try.
