    Which temp to use to determine priming amount

    Hi All, I'm about to bottle an IPA that is ready to go. My question is what temp should I use to determine the appropriate amount of priming sugar. The beer fermented for the first 2.5 weeks at between 68-70. A couple days ago I dropped it down to 58 as it still had a decent amount of dry...

    Recipe Tweaking - how to???

    Hi All, I'm looking at tweaking a recipe I currently have. I want to brew the recipe (5 gallons of stout), but want to bring down the alcohol in the original by just a bit. If the original recipe has three grains (i.e. 80% base, 15% specialty #1, 5% speciatly #2), is it as simple as...

    Quick Help Please - Too much priming sugar

    Thanks to all for the help. Ended up being able to get about another gallon out before I got back into the funk zone. Still a bit short, but nothing that should be over the top carbed. Some lessons learned though, and some great smelling IPA's in bottle. Thanks again!

    Ack!!! Need boiling advice right now!!

    Once the grains are out, I don't think it matter much if it sits around for a while. An hour definately shouldn't hurt.

    Cleaning Bottles

    I do a hot water rinse, soak in hot Oxy bath/cooler, then one more hot water rinse. After that, a couple shots of Starsan prior to bottling and I haven't had any issues.

    Quick Help Please - Too much priming sugar

    Ok, Just about to bottle and due to a couple of unforeseen circumstances I ended up with just over three gallons of beer in my bottling bucket, but I already added enough corn sugar (3/4 cup) for 5 gallons. Am I at risk for bottle bombs? Any ideas what to do? I could probably get another...

    Coriander and Orange peel - Leave them in???

    cool guys, thanks. I'll likely get most of it out then. Have a brew and enjoy the day. By the way, amazing to be brewing outside in Michigan in Feb with just a sweatshirt on and feeling comfortable.

    Coriander and Orange peel - Leave them in???

    Hi All, Making a blue moonish beer today and was wondering what to do with the coriander and orange peel after the boil. Do I rach them to the fermenter and leave them in, or should they be pulled out prior to going to fermentor?? Thanks much!!

    Fermentation temp is rising, should I be concerned?!?

    Thanks for the quick replies and sudden onset of panic.... Just ran down and put the fermentor in a big tupperware storage bin. added some water and a bit of ice and wrapped in a t-shirt. Will keep a close eye on it for the next couple of hours and see where it goes. Thanks again!

    Fermentation temp is rising, should I be concerned?!?

    Brewed EdWorts Robust Porter via BIAB on Saturday and like many have said the notty is giving a very active ferment. My room temp is 67, but the fermenter is showing around 73-74. I moved it closer to the floor to hopefully bring down the temp a bit. Should I be worried??? If so, any ideas...

    First All Grain/BIAB

    I will do a better job with insulation next time. Just wrapped a big towel this time and I was nervous so I was opening and checking alot.... I'll pull out the sleeping bag or see if I have any other good insulating materials sitting around.

    First All Grain/BIAB

    Thanks for the feedback. I think you're right about the space in the bottom (between the bottom of the pot and the basket) is what helped create some of the temp challenges. Will definately try some more vigorous mixing next time through. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with how the...

    First All Grain/BIAB

    Up until now, I have about a dozen extract batches under my belt. At that point, my wife (who bought me the original kit) officially banned me from the kitchen. It ended up working out pretty well because that allowed me to look into options for brewing outdoors. I figured since I'm going to...
