I ended up with 4 gallons of beer in my secondary and I am almost ready to bottle. How much priming sugar should I use? Thanks for your time. Primary: None Secondary: Oatmeal stout Bottled: Pale ale

I agree I put my fermentaion bucket in a cooler and put some ice with some tap water and put a towel around it. It is running a temp at 70F consistant and pluse its in my garage because my kids like to mess with it. It didnt cost me a thing.:ban:

is a oatmeal stout a lager?

I left this morning at 5am to do some testing for the california corrections and came home at 5pm and found my fermenter bubbling like a champ. I was a little worried when i left it wasnt bubbling yet. Hope it turned out right but my OG was 1.030 at 80F:rockin: and not 1.056.

I might be jumping the gun but I have no fermentaion activity in my airlock. It has been 24 hrs. since I piched the yeast at 80F. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do? I might have to repitch the yeast tomorrow. Thanks:rockin:

I did this batch last night and I put in 3 gal. of water for the oatmeal and grain steeping. I should have used 2 bags for the oatmeal but no turning back now and I will see how it went in a few days. :mug:

well I pitched my yeast early this morning at around 3am and the temp was 80 F. Now its 10 am and no activity but will hopefully see some acitvity in 24 hrs mark. I had fun doing this batch and it was a real pleasure hearing from folks in the house that the aroma smelled great when i added the...

I am brewing my second partial mash batch of beer and I will be a oatmeal stout. can't wait till i drink it when its done. 2 cans Briess dark malt extract 3.3lbs. each 1 lb carmel malt 90L milled already (steeping) 1/4 lb roasted barley (steeping) 1/4 lb black patent malt (steeping)...

thanks for the posts and I will spend the cash in a program to get used to it and when I go AG I will be familiar to the whole thing.:ban:

thanks alot but if im only doing partial mash is it worth going to a program to help my brewing?:ban:

I am a new brewer and only brewing partial mash, but I was wondering if the beer making programs are for only AG or can be used with Partial mash. I would like to switch to AG here in a few months after I get all the equipment. Thanks for your time.:ban:

I have been looking on this web site for a good extract pumpkin beer and havent found one yet. I was wondering if you know a good recipe for the holidays, hope you can help ty and have a great day.:fro:

I had the same problem also, I added table sugar to my beer when I was making my basic pale ale. I seen that on youtube and thought it would be ok and wished i didnt but oh well and also i put corn sugar in the bottles instead mixing it in the beer. Well all in all it had to much carbonation...

I bottled 7 homebrewed beers last week and bottled the rest tonight about 15 min. ago. then i was real curious and opened my last week bottled beer and had good carbonation but not enough hoppy flavor. need to add more hops next time then it would taste great. i want to make a pumpkin or...

i will try heating up the hose method in a week ty for the options.
