second fermentation.

I often hear that puréed fruit is better to use for F2 than chunks, and I notice people saying using the chunks is “for beginners” so I attempted making a dragon fruit/peach purée (blended the fruit with some of the kombucha) This is how all of the bottles came out, and I’m left wondering why...

Brewed Westmalle Tripel clone several months ago. Racked to keg a month ago. Going to do a secondary fermentation in the keg to add more yeasty deliciousness. Besides adding the yeast should I also add corn sugar to kick off the secondary fermentation? If so how much? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I am trying to create a wheat berry beer. I have some pasteurized black berry juice with sugar. I ferment the beer normally and then transfer the beer to a secondary. I add several ounces of the blackberry juice to the beer and let it set for several days. It appears to continue...

This site is incredible! Really bloody awesome.. So, I have a brew down at the minute. It has only been down for 4 days. I am wondering if anyone can see any issues with me transferring (when it has finished it's primary) to a secondary for a week or so (maybe longer) to let it settle. Then...
