    Beer on yeast action

    I have been a avid home brewer for 5+ years, lately I have gotten incredibly lazy with brewing. I have a nut brown in the primary nearly 45 days the yeast I used is wpl001. Should I expect off flavors if I leave it longer. Any thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Carbing my keg

    Have burst carbed many times, but I'm looking for a specific carb level this time around. My question when I leave my co2 on at my desired psi do I connect the co2 to the dip tub like when I burst carb. Or do I connect it to the co2 connection? Also is there a difference and what is it if one?

    First time cider

    So I have my cider fermenting, I'd like to bottle these in the near future but I'll need to check my fg before hand. My question is when I got to carb it in bottles do I let it carb on the residual sugar then cold crash or do I add more sugar for the carb, like beer carbing?
