This is my first full boil. I'm gonna start with around 6 gals of water. My question is when I pour into the primary if I'm a little short of 5 gals can I just add water or will that affect anything? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've made several batches of beer now but this is the first to taste like this. It was a jai alai clone. It tasted great for the first month and then 2 or 3 months later tasted very hot any suggestions? I always follow the temps during brewing and fermentation.

Skip the secondary and dry hop it in the primary. Y risk oxidation I just brewed an IIPA and it will all be done in the primary until I go to keg it. I left it in primary for 3 weeks and then dry hopped for one more i keg it on Monday.

What are u brewing depending on that I would skip the secondary and just leave it in the primary.

Exactly just rack the beer off between the bottom layer of trub and the hops on the top.

Probably not but I suggest taking it off and sanitizing it now rather then just leaving it on there.

I'm dry hopping using leaf hops for the first time. My question is when I go to keg can I squeeze the beer out of the hop leaves that are in the muslin bags?

Varmintman The only thing I could tell you is like I said before not every person cop or not is a good person. I can honestly say I haven't and no one that I work with has ever pulled anyone over for no reason. It might have been one of those people or maybe you did swerve even just slightly...

It seems like kids are raising kids now days. I think that's part of y the interactions are different. I work in a small town but I'm outside of a decent sized and high crime rate city. For the most part we do have the friendly cop where people know each other but again on the other side of...

My view on that is a little bit of both sides. 1. Is its a lot more dangerous now days you never know what is going to happen at anytime especially a car stop. Most people don't realize it because most people are good people but imagine walking up to a car in the middle of the night not knowing...

And as for the questions there's different questions for different situations if I thought you were drunk I might ask where you are heading and if you say such and such town but your heading in the other direction then something might be up. There's always a reason for the questions. Sometimes...

This is coming from a cop. Did it ever occur to you whether it be a "ticky tac law" or a serious crime it is not the cops fault you obviously did something wrong. If the cops weren't pulling people over you would complain about their pay and how they don't do anything. Instead were out trying...

I do 24 hours in the fridge.

I'm in.

You will be fine just take it out the morning you brew your beer let it get to room temp and pitch it into your primary. It will be fine.
