Hi, I'm brewing a West Coast IPA kit from festa brew and the ambiant temperature is 20C. It started to make bubbles 24 hours after putting the yeast in the wort. so it's really bubbling a lot since 5 days now and it's still really active. I'm in a glass carboy, only one fermenter. it's like...

Hi, How can I add my sugar priming in the wort before bottling if I only have one fermenter? Without mixing the yeast cake? Should I put the dextrose solution right in each bottle? If yes, what quantity for a 330ml bottle and what concentration for the solution? Is there another way...

Hi, It's my second all grain brew. first one went so well and perfect. It's a kind of Westmalle dubbel clone using lallemand abbaye yeast. OG 1046 and final Gravity is only 1017 which gives barely 4% alcool No more activity since the day 3. Had only slight activity and it...

Ok, Guess what! I started to bottle and in the mid process I've been struck by 'the fact that I forgot to add dextrose to the wort for refermentation in the bottle!!' For sure I'm not the only human which forgot this one day... Fortunately, I use swing top bottles. So I added a few drops of...

Hi guys, I'm brewing a festa brew pale ale kit and added one pound of pale dry malt extract to raise the initial density. OG: 1065 FG: could this be 1018 There is no more activity, no more clarification in the second fermenter. Been in the primary for 2 weeks and 1 keek in the second...

Hi, I bought an aquarium Thermometer (submersible) to know exactly the wort temperature during first Ferm. People always told me that the room temp and the wort would be really different. I'm brewing a regular pale ale, using us-04 yeast. The room temp was at 19C and the wort was the same...

My beer taste Apple juice. I know it's a off flavor. Could this be due to a too low temperature during fermentation? Temp was 16C room temp. I dry hopped with Simcoe, could this be a part of the simcoe dry hop flavor? The beer is a regular IPA

Ho Guys, You all told me a little earlier that Now, the new way to make beer is using only one fermenter. So I poored my FestaBrew Bock kit, a bag of golden candy syrup and the Saflager S-23 yeast in the 6.5Gal plastic container w/ lid not clipped on the top. It's standing at 17.5C. I'm...

Hi, I noticed, day two in the second fermenter, some Yellow little balls which goes up and down in the clearer part. I used pellet hop as well as 1 ounce of dried fresh cascade I grew in my backyard. Could this be the little yellow stuff in the hop buds or may it be the Danstar Belle Saison...

What is the best 'technique' to keep most of juice in the boiler. I used a net, it was my first whole grain, and after my Mash, before the boil, only half of the soup left... Is there a better method than the net? How to preserve the maximum amount of juice? I needed to add a lot of watter...

Hi, I grow my own hop in my garden (Centennial, Mt-Hood, Cascade and Fuggle) So at the end of summer I have 1000X the hop needed for a few 23L batches. I tried to add Cascade (which is giving me Epic yield each year) to the primary fermentation (at the beggining) People says that it...
