    Request: Augustiner Marzen Clone

    I had a problem with the flip tops on some of my bottles so some never carbed up. The ones that did produced excellent beer, but not Augustiner. However, while doing some research on this beer, I learned a couple things: 1) In Salzburg, maerzen is a) the most popular beer style, b) Salzburg...

    w-34/70 won't carb up!

    Tried another bottle last night and it's starting to get there. I'm really hoping smata67 is correct.

    I did fine with gelatin. This is my first lager and it tastes great. I going to be super bummed if they don't carb up.

    w-34/70 won't carb up!

    I have been carbing at room temp. Should I move them to the chamber for 55F?

    w-34/70 won't carb up!

    I did 2/3 cup of corn sugar to 1 cup water (for 5.5 gallons of beer), boiled it for 7 minutes, let cool, and then dumped it into bottling bucket. Then I transferred my beer from the primary with a siphon hose on top of the sugar water. I didn't stir for fear of oxidation, but this is the same...

    w-34/70 won't carb up!

    I have a pre-lagered lager that has been bottle-conditioning for 3 weeks and it's barely carbonated. The yeast (w-34/70) flocculated very well and the beer pours super clear. Would shaking the bottles up help? My process was 1) ferment, 2) cold crash and fine with gelatin, 3) add corn sugar and...

    Request: Augustiner Marzen Clone

    Augustiner is truly my dream beer (blessed to have experienced it twice - one pint in their beer garden in 2011 and three bottles out of a take-home six-pack in 2016) and I made a version (based on JP's) that I think is going to be fantastic. This is my first lager and I made some kegging...

    Potential Disaster: Can I lager in glass bottles and other stupid questions from a newbie

    First time making a lager (Marzen). I tried to keg it in order to force carb and lager simultaneously, BUT the keg was leaking CO2. So I added priming sugar (corn) and transferred to pint glass flip-top bottles. My plan is to: 1) lager in bottles in the chamber at 36 degrees for 6 weeks 2)...

    CO2 tank in the lagering chamber?

    I just noticed your name. That's awesome! I used to be called Rsquared, but then I was ordained and added the prefix "Rev".

    CO2 tank in the lagering chamber?

    Yes. the gas is attached.

    CO2 tank in the lagering chamber?

    OK. Thanks. I purged it and put 8 lbs on it and plan to leave it there until it's ready to drink.

    CO2 tank in the lagering chamber?

    I thought i was supposed to lager first, then carb. Should I carb first, then lager?

    CO2 tank in the lagering chamber?

    Need some assurance as I'm doing my 1st lager. Finished primary fermentation, cold crashed, and fined with gelatin. Next I transferred into keg, purged the oxygen, and put keg and CO2 in the chamber with no pressure. Plan to let it sit for 5-6 weeks at 33 degrees, then force carb, and start...
