You should be fine as long as you keep them shut and swirl just a little of the sanitizer around on bottling day like you suggested, never hurts to take precautions.
So I am still new to all grain brewing and have mainly been using existing recipes for my ag so far and I have only brewed 4 times. I was just wondering how you choose what temperature you should mash out at and the boil you do before the mash. I always see them at about 150 and 170 respectively...
Question.
I just brewed this batch on St. Patty's day and it was my first time ever doing all grain. When the "bubbles" or primary fermentation stops am I then supposed to rach it into my secondary and then add the first dry hop addition or do I add the dry hop additions now in the primary...
Could someone explain alpha and beta acid in hops to me? Higher alpha more bitterness was what I thought for the alpha side but I have no idea what beta measures.
Brew on
Hey guys
So I'm still pretty new at the whole thing but I've worked on three batches of beer and all have been partial malt/extract. And I'm about to try the rewarding step up to all grain. I currently have a 32 qt stainless steel pot but will I need a larger one for the switch to all grain...
Hey everyone I'm new here just wanted to say hello. I'm only on my third brew and I just started the switch to all grain from partial extract but I hope to learn lots more here.
