Bottle conditioning a Belgian Tripel for 2-3 months, question regarding best temp. A 50 degree garage or 68 degree spare room. Thanks, cheers

Currently fermenting a 90 minute iPA clone, 5 gallon batch. I have a 7 gallon fermentor and plan to plan to dry hop in the primary, will not be transferring to a secondary. Does opening the primary, releasing all CO2, and adding dry hops risk too much exposure to O2 with the additional headspace...

Thanks for the recomendations!

Will be down in Windosr in a couple weeks and looking to enjoy some quality brews. I have visited several times and always hit the usual suspects (Russian River, Lagunitas and Bear Republic). Any orher recomendations for good local spots? Thanks

For those of you in Portlandia, what are your favorite tap rooms?

Great info, thanks for the help

Haven't heard the term wild yeast before, what exactly does that mean?

I got damn near all 5 gallons at bottling. After reading a few threads on here, I thought it would be best to throw all the beer in the fridge to chill hoping it would stop further carbonation. Do you think this is something that will mellow over time, can CO2 be absorbed back into the beer?

No, there were no additions, just the grain bill and hops: 4.5# DME 3.5 # 2-row 1.5 # Crystal 120 12 oz Crystal 80 2 oz Carapils 1 oz Roasted Barley Smacked with 1 pkt Safale US-05 Started fermentation at 62 degrees and ended at 68 degrees

I did leave it in the primary for 3 weeks. This was my first time NOT transferring to a secondary.

the strangest thing and i can't figure it out. Made a Jubleale clone, 5 gallon partial mash, and just tested a couple botttles 12 days after bottling. I popped them in the fridge for 48 hours to chill. After opening and pouring very carefully there was an amazing amount of head. It appeared...

The corner of your garage where all the brew equipment is stored is perfectly organized, almost like a shrine........the rest of the garage, not so much.

I COMPLETELY agree, this years batch is a dissapointment. It almost has a skunky flavor and the hop characteristics are very poor. Typically one of my favorite beers of the season, quite a let down. I brewed a clone and was anxious to compare. On the other hand, this years Jubelale is spectacular.

Amber ale that spent 7 days in primary, I then racked to secondary. It has been in secondary 5 days now and there are lots of tiny champagne-like bubbles floating to the top. If I shine a light into the carboy I can see the bubbles floating up like champagne. Is this normal? Thanks

What is the general consensus in regards to the maximum amount of time before frozen hops lose quality and are no longer good to use. Thanks

The secondary temperature had been consistent at 73 degrees. Is this too warm, should it be moved to a cooler location like the garage for the remainder? I have read quite a bit about not using a secondary for the reasons you mentioned. Will the beer still clarify and clear if just left in...
