I'm bottling a hefeweizen tomorrow, and I was checking the tastybrew.com carbonation calculator to see how much priming sugar to add. It says to use ~8oz for a 5g batch, and that just seems like a bunch of sugar to me. I don't wanna have any bombs on my hands. Does this seem accurate to you...

I brewed an extract RIS today and the color came out way too light for the style. It's sitting at brownish right now and I want to get it to black, as it should be. My LHBS stocks maltoferm, but they're closed. Can I add it to the bottling bucket? Or should I add it to primary?

I'm currently fermenting an APA with Nottingham yeast. When I got home from work today, ambient temp was around 75. I was wondering what kind of off flavors I can expect from this brew...

I just bottled my 2nd 5 gallon batch (Schlenkerla's Quaffable Irish Red) and I only ended up with 36 12oz bottles. It didn't seem like I left a lot of usable beer in the primary, and there was only a few drops left in the bottling bucket. What gives?

Just wondering if the club was still active? I browsed the forums on the clubs website and there's little to no activity. Also the news/etc seems pretty sparse. I just want to know if there's still happenings with the club before I send off my membership money. Thanks!

And opened them in the bathtub. Lost a batch of cider, but no one was injured :) My question is: Are the bottles safe to reuse or should I throw them out?

I'm looking for some of those fancy copper-colored caps that Dogfish Head uses to cap their beers. Anyone know of a source?
