BYO 150 Clone brews magazine
I know there aren't too many people that view this forum anymore, but I'm hoping someone who does has this issue. I had it, but I loaned it to a friend and never got it back. My brother recently got into homebrewing and was wanting to do a recipe I made when I was still doing extract and grains. I r...

This concerns me. I had originally thought it was a bacteria strain that takes hold in lambics, but wasn't sure how a lambic style oktoberfest would taste, so I kegged it anyway. I'm thinking the culprit has to be my plastic buckets. This one hasn't been replaced in awhile. My sanitation is always v...

Mold or Infection?
So, my latest batch (an oktoberfest) was done fermenting a few weeks ago, but I decided to leave it in primary for a total of 26 days. I went to keg it today and when I pulled off the lid, I noticed there was a whiteish glass-like substance floating on top with the remnants of the krausen that hadn'...

Patience Patience Patience. Bottle carbonation can take up to 2 months of some beers. 12 days is way to early to be trying your beer (I know you're anxious). Even if it does carbonate that fast...it's best to leave it for at least 3 weeks because the taste will be much better. Try your bottles after...

I actually just got that issue of BYO a few days ago. It was a good issue for me since I'm getting started on yeast culturing. I also liked the article about leaving it on the yeast. Personally, I prefer to leave it for 3-4 weeks and then keg. I only use secondary if I'm adding some sort of adjunct ...

Re: Dry-hopping in the secondary
I have nothing to add about the dry hopping, but I wanted to mention that the secondary is really just to clear the beer (or for adding things like dry hops). Fermentation should be complete before you transfer the beer out of the primary, or you risk stressing the yeast and getting off flavors. Ac...

You're yeast will do fine. I've had beers carbonate fine after 3 months in fermentors. Yes, the yeast will probably fall out of suspension to a point, but I bet that just moving your carboy to wherever you bottle is going to shake up enough yeast to get your bottles going. Without fining agents, I'v...
