UPDATE: So I have tried a couple of the beers, it will be 2 weeks bottle conditioning tomorrow. I tried one of the co2 prime with a full siphon line and I tried one of the co2 prime with an air gap in co2 line. This is what I found: Clarity on both are good and the head is about 1 inch when...

Do you all think that the air gap in my hose could case oxidation issues in those beers? Maybe the air gap was full of CO2 dissipated from the beer itself?

Should I wait longer? Let me know!

I'm going to test them at 3 weeks then again at 6 weeks

So I have brewed again for the first time in about 3 years. I have brewed an Alaskan Amber clone and it seems to have come out well. I have finally bottled and it tastes well in the flat/green form (24 days in fermenter). My OG was 1.062 and my FG was 1.018 (seems high to me but I tested days...

Nice, I really remember my first brew day. I'm not as experienced as a lot of the other people on here but I gotta say.... striving for great brews is very addictive. It becomes a well balanced hobby. Good luck and keep brewing!

So my question is at an average temp of 78' (I'm in AZ) for just the bottle conditioning, how much more sugar should I add per bottle. I know that tool that @myndflyte told me about but some sugars already got eaten. Do I reduce the amount of sugar added? Or just put full amount of sugar...

Cool ok. It will be three weeks tomorrow bottle carbing and I'm gonna let one sit in the fridge for a couple days then try it. If it has a small amount of carbonation should I reduce the amount of sugar added?

If I do need to recarb, how would I go about doing this? Carb tabs maybe? Or just keg and force carb? Any ideas?

Yes they are warm for the carbonation. Ok only for cold for the cold crash. Thank you for all your help!

So I have a pumpkin ale that I let ferment for 14 days and cold crash for 7 days. I bottled 2 weeks ago and there is just a slight hiss when I open a bottle. Now I know it can take a lot longer to bottle condition but here is my main question....... Since I was cold crashing the temp of the...
