    Is my vinator busted?

    That's just how mine works. I've been using it for over a year and a half. I always thought it was a way of sanitizing the lip of the bottle. Just assumed it was normal. Sent from my van, down by the river.

    How much headspace?

    I've done 3 gal batches in my 5 gal carboy. I think as long as your doing primary and not secondary you should be fine. Sent from my van, down by the river.

    bottle caps question

    Any extra I have left over, I rinse off with warm water and dry them. I don't have a problem with caps rusting any more.. Sent from my van, down by the river.

    Where to Bottle for Conditioning

    As long as your cellar is clean and dry, you can bottle down there. When I bottle, I bring my fermentor up from the basement in to our laundry room. I let it sit for a hour to let things settle back to the bottom after sloshing it up the stairs. If your sanitizing practice is solid you shouldn't...

    Yeast confusion

    I've done it both ways. If you do rehydrate use warm water not hot. Cheers!

    Abv

    When I bottle. I fill 6 then cap. I don't see why filling 10 then capping wouldn't work. Cheers!

    Imperial Campfire S'more Stout

    What's the purpose of splitting up the honey additions? I've never seen that before. Good luck and cheers!

    Primary exposed right after pitch

    I say let it ride. Chances are the brew was giving off CO2 and that would help keep things out. Sounds tasty. Cheers and good luck

    Is it OK to reboil with added DME to achieve OG?

    By no means am I an expert, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Here's what worked for me. I missed OG on the last PM I did. I boiled up about 1/2 gal water and added 2lbs of DME. Added that before I pitched the yeast. Good luck. I'm sure others may have better ideas. Cheers.

    Carbonation issues... Any thoughts?

    The lack of head (insert joke here) could be the fault of the glassware. Try wetting the glass and then put some salt in it and do a light scrub, the rinse the glass well. Sometime soap residue left over from washing will kill the head retention. Cheers!

    Carbonation

    My last 2 beers took a very long time to carb up. Close to 2 months. Not sure why yet. What I did was to take each bottle and tipped it upside down then back up right. I then put them in a spare bedroom with a little space heater to keep the temp at 70 deg. Good luck and cheers!
