I only have a deep freezer that seems to be set at 0 to - degrees so I cant do a couple days or it will be a carboycicle. Does getting it cold for a few hours not help and should I skip this step if I cant do it for longer than a couple hours.
Just made a porter from a coppers kit. Just remembered the last time I made it that the taste was good but no hops at all. So its been fermenting for 2 days, can I just add hop leafs in the carboy and if so what kind would be good and how many oz's?

Wait, it will taste like a lightly carbinated beer if your lucky (flat). Depending on how cool your basement is it might take a little longer to ferment as well. If its around 70 down there then 3 weeks should give good carbination. The colder it is the longer time it takes to ferment unless...

I traveled a few hours with kegs. Just put them in the trunk gas line up and put stuff beside them so they dont roll around. Take them out when I get there and put them in a clean trash can with Ice and water and let them sit to settle down a bit and of course connect back to gas. Turned out...
I know/heard that if you let an IPA or any hoppy beer sit for a long time it will start to lose it hoppiness. So my question is how long do I let it sit. I have an IPA that I let set in my fermenter for 1 month and transferd ot to the bright tank for about 2 weeks now. I thinking I am losing...
Salt Lake city isnt to bad. 50/50 on the mormons there but provo UT home of BYU is 90% + LDS and has one damn bar. The church buys up all the liquor licenses so new bars and restaurants that want to serve wine cant open up here. Tithing goes to temples and liquor licenses.
Going to make a Brewhouse stout from a no-boile kit (bladder bag) in the next day or two. Is there any specific type of yeast that works well with stouts. Do I need to make a started? Any advice would be appreciated
