    Racking to secondary in order to get more beer?

    What's your general rule when racking to secondary? How soon do you do it? A week? Week and a half? My friend was saying he wants to rack to secondary when the air lock is bubbling around 3 times a minute Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Racking to secondary in order to get more beer?

    Dam that's a beautiful brew room. With I had that space. Appreciate everyone's input. The guy I'm brewing with is super pro secondary so looks we might go that way. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Racking to secondary in order to get more beer?

    Hmm interesting. Why is this? From the beer being "trapped" in the sediment both times? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Racking to secondary in order to get more beer?

    Maybe I haven't been too clear. I was going to rack from primary to secondary in order to siphon as much as beer as possible from the trub. Then I was going to leave in secondary to let whatever sediment is left to fall to the bottom. From there I would transfer to bottling bucket. Wouldn't I be...

    Racking to secondary in order to get more beer?

    Re-carbonating grolsch bottles

    Re-carbonating grolsch bottles

    A friend of mine let me borrow a bunch of empty grolsch bottles. Some of them still had untouched beer inside that he forgot about. He thinks they've been siting there for about a year. We tried one and it was pretty flat. I was wondering if it's possible to safely re carbonate these and if so...

    What kind of infection does my beer have?

    *Update* Cracked a few more open last night. It tasted really good! The hint of sourness was there but overall I'm pretty happy. Some of friends even said they enjoyed the hint of sourness. I would normally think they are just being nice but I thought it tasted good as well. Sent from my...

    What kind of infection does my beer have?

    So just a quick update. I did crack one open last night just to see if it's carbonating any faster than usual. Happy to report it was mostly flat with a little fizzle. (It's been about 6 days since I bottled it) It also tasted good. It did have a funk smell after I initially opened it but once...

    What kind of infection does my beer have?

    It did taste fine before I bottled it. Maybe a slight sourness to it but overall pretty good. Like I said before my biggest concern are those 40 bottles shattering into flying glass Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
