So i opened my first bottle of the batch that sat in the fermenter for 5 months. It turned out awesome! 2 and a half weeks in a bottle and perfect carbonation! patience is a virtue and of course....NEVER DUMP YOUR BEER!

Sounds great, guys! I can't wait to bottle it now!

Awesome! Do you suggest adding any yeast in just in case? Or anything that might help male sure it carbonates correctly?

I have a question for you guys. I brewed a nut brown ale from NB back in august. After the process of moving into an apartment and my homebrew stuff being packed away and deciding to switch to bottling from Kegging, I am just getting around to bottling it now. It is still in the primary...

Ok thanks! i was starting to worry that would be a problem. I hope it comes out good, this is my second try at it. My first try there wasn't enough water in the airlock and mold grew on top in the secondary. Definitely learned my lesson on that one. I'm thinking about going partial mash for my...

Hey guys, this is my first post but have a pretty good understanding of the process, or so i think haha. I'm using a True Brew Irish Stout kit, using a carboy for fermenting in. I brewed this on Thursday, it was finished and sealed by 2pm. I had an airlock in and by 11pm i had no bubbles, i...
