    No yeast cake on the bottom of secondary

    So on my third beer, an ESB, I racked to the secondary after 12 days and then racked it to a bottling bucket after another 12 days. When I racked it to the bottling bucket, there was no yeast cake on the bottom. It was totally clean. Any reason why that would be?

    no, how to raise the ABV of a recipe. Is it as easy as adding sugar to the recipe, more grains, or what. Probably a dumb question but I'm prett new to this.

    Possible contamination

    I'm on my 5th brew, and I did everything as I always do when brewing my Blonde Ale. I racked it to my secondary and its been in there for about a week. Two days ago I noticed a small amount of bubbles forming on the top. It keeps getting more and more every day. Its still a small amount, but...

    Any strange additions to an IPA

    Anyone ever added any late boil additions to an IPA other than hops? Any spices or sugars or anything else for that matter? Just wondering if they were just overpowered and covered up by the massive IBUs in an IPA?

    Low final gravity question

    Yes, tasted the sample and it had very good malt character. I think 3725 is only around til the end of the month, but could be wrong. I do know its a limited release though.

    Low final gravity question

    I mashed at 150, didn't add any sugar, and fermented at about 72. Bier De Garde's number is 3725, it's only seasonal I believe.

    Low final gravity question

    I recently brewed a partial mash Blonde ale. My OG came in at 1.051 and estimated was 1.053. The final gravity estimation was around 1.013, but it came in at 1.005. Just wondering why that would be? Used Wyeast Bier De Garde to ferment.
