So I'm nearing bottling time. And I'm unsure how much bottling sugar to use for this. I'm thinking I should carb at 3 vol. Whata think? I've kept it at about 65deg. http://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/allgrain/BIAB-AG-DeBelge.pdf Sent from my van, down by the river.

8 years ago my best friend since almost birth, passed away. Just days before his 46th birthday. He was one of those rare friends who would say yes before you asked for help. We grew up just 2 houses away. We were truly Twin Sons of Different Mothers. So here's to Tim, my brother from another...

Hello, I just finished my first BIAB and took this sample. The reading is at 1.070.. Target is 1.060.. I let it cool in the fridge to get to temp and the sample had separated with trub filling about 2/3 of the tube. I mixed it up to see if reading were different.. They weren't by much... Whata...

Ok, so back in August I brewed up NB FixedGear clone. Brew day was rushed. A few minor irritating mishaps along the way. Because of something that came up, it took almost 9 hours before I could pitch the yeast. Now close to 1 month after bottling it's not carbed... Tastes good but flat. I...

Hello all. I have a Porter fermenting and have 5 vanilla beans to add to it. I'm just wondering if some liquor works better then others. It seems bourbon is the go to for most. Has anyone tried Southern Comfort? Thanks for you help.

I'm doing Northern Brewer's Lakefront Fixed Gear American Red Ale. And the sheet calls for a 90 min boil. Being this is an extract kit. Wouldn't that caramelize the wort more? Also should I also do late addition of LME? This kit has 9.15 lbs of Gold malt syrup. Here's a link to the sheet. Thanks...
