Well I was off deer hunting and had to leave my brew in the primary for 2 1/2 weeks. I went to put it to secondary today and I had beer vinegar. Well down the drain it went. What went wrong? I posted before I left and was told that it should be fine, it tasted good before I went. Any advise.:(

gracias guys. I am way to tired to siphon beer off. All I want to do is go to bed and dream of geting that big buck. Im off deer hunting and cant wait. See you all in a week I will be back online next Sunday with more stupid questions and hopefully a little venison in the freezer.:ban:

thanks Yuri I will just leave it.:mug:

Is two weeks in primary to long? I am going on vacation tomorrow and dont have a spare secondary carboy.Today is day 8 in primary. I wont be able to transfer it until next Sunday. I can rack it off the trub and put it in another plastic 6.5 gal pail but will that be to much airspace.

I had only bottle conditioned this hefe for 5 days but, I was way to impatient to wait any longer. It is awesome I am so damn thrilled with the way it came out. I have brewed at the LHBS before but this is my first one at home, and it is fantastic. A few more days and it should be carbonated...

thanks I am scouring around for recipes now.:ban:

are lme and dme the same when mixing pound for pound. I will be having leftovers from both lme and dme and want to find the best way to turn these ingedients into something bubbly with a nice hoppy flavour.

cooling is easy I do have a beer fridge its just the fluctuations right now. the water idea is good because I could monitor it easily.

its not going to be t much warmer. I am more worried about to much cooler. before I need to heat. my garage gets to about 55 by the early afternoon.

that is nice to know, I have my last kit and want to do some brewing, as long as im still going to get good beer

What would happen if i didnt ferment a lager properly? If it was a little warmer or a little colder for periods of time, would it be bad or is is still good beer but without the full lager.

I just put two batches to secondary. My carboys arent full to the bottom of the neck . Should I top up with water, I do this with wine but I dont want to make a weak beer. Its a 5 gal carboy .
