So last night I went to bottle a sweet stout. I had boiled and cooled a solution of priming sugar earlier in the evening, and racked the beer onto it in my bottling bucket while I could begin sanitizing my bottles. I recently got a vinator, which unfortunately would not work for the life of me...

Thanks in advance for any advice on this. So 16 days ago I brewed my first stout (a partial mash, [URL="http://hopville.com/recipe/1654118"]http://hopville.com/recipe/1654118[/URL). I mashed on the high end, trying to stay around 158-59 ish, and thought that I had done well with that. I...

I have very little experience with making my own recipes. I kind of winged my last IPA, and it turned out OK, but not great. I recently tried this beer and loved it; I have some simcoe handy, so I thought I'd do my best to replicate it. I know I am in the ballpark for OG and IBUs, as well as...

So I had no idea where to post this, as it's kind of an odd request. I have a batch of IPA ready to bottle, but I forgot to get bottle caps and don't have enough left over from previous batches. My LHBS is closed until Tuesday. Normally, I would say no big deal and wait until Tuesday to...

Tried posting this on the cider forum; didn't get any responses. I have a cider about ready to bottle, OG was 1.062, FG is 0.098. I used Nottingham, which I know has a "relatively high" alcohol tolerance, but I wasn't sure if, after conditioning for almost two months, coupled with the high ABV...

Sorry if this has been previously answered; I've tried searching with no luck (though I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this). I've currently got a cider with a bit of honey and brown sugar (OG 1.062) that I'm about ready to bottle. It has reached FG at 0.098 using Nottingham yeast. I'm...

So I decided after my last brew (a Rogue Hazelnut Nectar extract clone that was/is awesome) that I wanted to give Partial Mashing a shot, and settled on a variation of Edwort's Haus Pale Ale.My grain bill: 4 lbs Pale 2 Row, 2 lbs Vienna, .5 Crystal 10L (and 3lbs light DME, 2/3 late addition)...

So this is my first brew--Autumn Amber extract kit from Midwest--and so far so good. I brewed it on 9/14, OG 1.048. Fermentation kicked off about 4-5 hours after pitching, but never really seemed too vigorous (I know, the airlock isn't a good indicator. . . ) Anyway, I let it sit until 10/4...
