that all makes a lot of sense. I do have my OG recorded, so I will just have to take a few samples to check my gravity now. Thank you for the help guys. It is appreciated

After my beer sat in my Primary for about 10 days, the recipe calls for 2 weeks primary and 1 week secondary, then it stopped giving me the bubbles showing in my airlock. I changed it to my secondary, mostly because I want to see how much it helps with clarity, and I still have no bubbles...

I agree. It is always better to be safe than sorry. A $2 hose vs. possibly losing an entire batch of beer, I'll take a new hose any day of the week.

I just got home and opened up a bottle to double check everything, and it was good to drink. when i said 12 weeks earlier, that was quite an understatement. i remember brewing this beer before christmas, and then bottling it on time without any problems. i opened it up after a 4 week period...

Sorry I forgot to mention it sat at a little over 70 degrees...maybe around 73 or so

This is a style of beer that I have made before. The first time I made it, it was carbed fine with 3 or 4 weeks. This batch has been in bottles for about 12 weeks. I have not poured it out because I thought there might be a way to save it. It is an asahi extract kit. I do not know the fg/og on...

I made some beer recently and after I left it in the bottles for more than enough time, it did not carb enough. At my local brew store the guy told me I can open the bottles and put a small amount of priming sugar into each bottle and reseal them. I have no clue how much to add though. Any...

thank you for all the answers. they have all helped. i'm going to just leave it in my primary. i am making an ale that i am trying to turn into a pumpkin ale. i'm just doing some experimenting with it, so i was glad to get answers to some of my questions on here. thank you all very much...

i have a batch in my primary right now and my instructions tell me to leave the wort in the primary for 1 week then to move it to the secondary for 2 more weeks. when i put it into the secondary, am i supposed to add anything? the instructions don't mention anything, so i don't think i should...

i know it's late to make a pumpkin beer, but i had intentions to make it a few weeks ago. then we had some family stuff and had to go out of town. anyways......my question is about using the pumpkin. i have read about different ways and times on when to put the pumpkin in, at least i think...

that makes sense about it being more cloudy as it's chilled. i prefer my beer cold, the colder the better usually for me, and it does seem a little bit more cloudy as it's colder. thank you for the help, this forum is still my first go to place for questions and help.

i made up a batch of a wheat beer, but once it was completed and i got to open up my bottles, it's cloudy when i pour it. i don't know if it is normal or if something went wrong, but i can't see through the beer. i haven't had a wheat beer in a while, so i don't know if it tastes the right way...

thanks for the link. i think i'm going to try a hefweizen. wish me luck, i will let everybody know how it turns out

that does sound kind of weird. i don't know if i would use it either. is it a good idea to put your bottles in the oven? that would worry me, but i'm new at this. i'm curious to see what everybody else says also. i know that the sanitizer i used for my bottles was just to swirl it around in...

i'm getting ready to make a second batch, going to buy the stuff this weekend and cook it up. my question is pretty easy though, just looking for some opinions. i want to make a beer that doesn't take long at all before i can drink it. what are some of the fastest ready to drink beers? i...

when i did my batch, i used the same bucket that i use for my canning pickles. it was a good size, just the standard ball canning set. i would recommend a little bit bigger though because i had to keep an eye on mine to watch carefully for boil over. on a different note, i did have to add...

i am in the process of my first batch right now and i did 9 days in the primary and now they have been in bottles for 2 weeks as of yesterday. i opened one just so that i could taste the beer. it was pretty good, but i am pretty sure that it needs to sit for another week or two. i agree 100%...

that makes sense to wait too. i didn't really think about that part.

while i had it in the pot that i made the wort in, i moved it to the sink with some ice mixed with some cold water. when the ice melted, i replaced the cold water. unfortunately i ran out of ice (i will make sure not to run out next time). after it cooled to about 100, i poured it into my...

awesome help guys. i have the dry yeast. i'm glad that you guys explained that both ways would be acceptable. i will try to sprinkle this time and we will see how it goes. thank you again for the help
