Re: Help! Flat Beer

Ahh, thanks Ink... I meant to say 3/4 a teaspoon for each 12 oz. bottle. 3 teaspoons would be waaayy to much.

Re: Help! Flat Beer

great to hear.. I was afraid my beer was ruined. In the past I've always done PET bottles and I usually test a few in the fridge after 1 week of conditioning to see where I stand. This is the first time I used glass 12oz bottles.... is there typically a difference in using the glass bottles compared...

Re: Help! Flat Beer

Sounds good, i'll do that. There is also zero head retention. Will that get better with longer conditioning as well? I had 1/2 lb of Carapils and usually get great results using that.

Help! Flat Beer

So I recently made a beer using 2 brew demons, 1 for primary and another for the secondary. the recipe used a lot of hops, so the primary was a little overwealmed with trub on the botttom so I racked to secondary. I left the beer in the secondary for 2 weeks, added my sugar (3 teaspoons) to each 12 ...

Re: Is my beer ruined?

Yup. Turned out great! Had first tasting straight out of the LBC the other day and it tastes absolutely amazing! American Wheat ale with a slight hint of cherry aftertaste. Bottling begins in a few days.

Thanks!

Re: Is my beer ruined?

Awesome! good to hear, yeah it took forever to chill the wort (Wort Chiller purchase is in the near future) and by the time it was ready it was 1am so I just wasn't thinking clear.

Let's hope it turns out ok. Thanks!

Re: My First Brew Ever! ...and a few questions

Haha, SWMBO only drinks bud light so her vote doesn't count :lol: . I had her try Allagash White and Heady Topper and she goes "ewww". Beer isn't her thing, it's all good. Anyway, here is the first pour. I was at my parents house and thought some frosty mugs would be cool, so didn't really...

Re: My First Brew Ever! ...and a few questions

Congrats on a successful first brew!!! If you like how it tastes, then no harm in putting a couple more in the fridge. You may consider putting one in each week to see how the flavor changes over time. However, we'll all understand if you toss them all in and drink them immediately. That first batc...

Re: My First Brew Ever! ...and a few questions

believe i'd just put 1 in the fridge let the others age more. Yes, you want to give them two weeks at room temperature to carbonate and at least two more weeks at room temperature to condition properly. You can put one in the fridge and then you'll have a basis for comparison. It's amazing what a d...

Thanks again guys! Been reading some more posts here and catching up on terminology and whatnot... will continue to get up to speed as I wait for my bottles to condition. * praying that I don't have any bottle bombs! They have been conditioning for about a week, probably give them another week or we...
