Hey guys! I just got done brewing a hoppy APA and seemed to have missed my target final volume of 5.5 by quite a bit. It looks like I have about 4.75 gallons in the fermenter. I believe I found the error in my planning but whats strange is I seemed to hit my target OG of 1.052 right on the...

I was browsing some of the photos in here and I saw someone that posted pix of their brew that they thought was infected. Then I go to move my Belgium Red Ale into 2ndary and I see the same thing. Hovever, after being in the carboy for a week, I think the white-ish substance has fallen. I'm...

How do I know when to transfer my Chimay Tripel clone into the carboy for second fermentation? It's been 4 days & it's extremely active at 80 degrees F. Also, what's good recomended temps & time periods for second ferment & bottling?
