I recently started brewing BIAB, and have 4 brews under my belt. It seems that the beer gets noticeably more carbonated using the 4 oz. of corn sugar per 5 gal batch. I don't think it's infection because this just started with BIAB after doing extract for a year. I also don't think it's...

Hey guys, I'm kegging for the first time and need it to be ready for a work event Thursday. I kegged it two Sundays ago (12/4) at 22psi in a room that is 60 degrees in order to achieve a volume of 2.2. When I dispense a small glass to check it, it's pretty flat. So I have a few questions...

I plan on brewing a pretty high gravity barley wine pretty soon (OG 1.115) and am trying to plan out the yeast pitch. Since I plan on making a larger starter (4 liters) using WLP090 San Diego Super, I am considering letting the starter go to work in my fermenter, account for the volume and...

Hey guys...I bottled a brew today and decided to try to keep the yeast. I'm very fortunate to have inherited a conical fermenter so collecting the settled yeast is very easy. I didn't really think about saving it until during bottling, so for now I'm keeping the yeast in some tupperware! It...

I brewed my first extract Barley Wine (kit from B3) and it has been sitting in secondary for nearly a month. From what I've read, it's generally recommended to remain for 6 months. I would like to bottle now to free up a carboy so I can do more brewing. If I let the barley wine sit in...

Hey guys, first time poster here. I've been reading here and there about techniques for late malt extraction addition. I think I'm familiar enough with the timings, when it's appropriate, etc. I haven't found a post that addresses how the addition should affect the timing of your boil. For...
