That is the method I was reading about when adding spices, but in Onipar's original post he said not to boil so I was confused. I guess I am over thinking this too much, but I just want to get it right because I'm excited for this brew!

I brewed this recipe a few weeks ago and it is now in the secondary awaiting the spice tea. But before I add the spices, I had a question about adding spices since this is my first time adding spices to the secondary. I am using a better bottle for my secondary and I have a hop bag for the...

After some further research, I think I will be opening up all the bottles, pouring them into my primary fermenter and let the sugar ferment out completely. Then, reprime and rebottle. I think with that approach there should be no worrying about bottle bombs.

I am using regular beer bottles I collected. I calculated 3.65 volume of CO2 based on the amount of sugar I used and my batch size. I was thinking of pasteurizing to stop the carbonation, but does anyone know how quickly the bottles will carbonate? I am guessing after a week in the bottle they...

I just bottled 2.5 gallons of Brandon O's Graff recipe. I forgot I was bottling a 2.5 gallon batch and made a priming solution with 4oz. of corn sugar, which is enough sugar to bottle a 5 gallon batch. It has only been two days since bottling, but I am worried I may end up with bottle bombs...

I took a gravity reading last night and was at 1.010, which is just about what it should be. Although there seemed to be some carbonation in it already, is it still okay to bottle? I just don't want any bottle bombs.

Yea that's true. I really do need to take a gravity reading. Although I didn't take a starting gravity reading so will I be able to calculate the %ABV still? If it is just outgassing would there still be sediment at the top? I thought the whole point of a secondary was for the sediment to...

So, after resisting to start a new post and searching/reading other posts, I broke down. I brewed an Autumn Amber Ale extract kit from Midwest Supplies with Munton's dry yeast on 5/21/11. It started bubbling the day after I brewed then stopped. - left it in the primary for about 10 days...

Just bought another carboy. I could use a cleaner.
