If I add the DaVinici sugar free syrups at time of bottling...will the preservatives in the syrup stop the bottles from being carbonated?

I got my water report...can someone help me with the numbers I need. They don't seem to be in PPM like i've seen elsewhere, so I'm confused. Maybe someone could point out the numbers I need to be concerned about.

So I bought a 3-Piece airlock i took out middle and attached a 1/2" tube over the center piece to use as a blowoff. I also cut open the bottom of the airlock plastic to make it a more straight shot into the center piece (as the bottom was pointed with 3 small triangles cut out...i assume this...

I think this is stupid and may be answered in the actual spreadsheet for EZ Water Calculator 3.0...but want to make sure... I can add all my Mash and Sparge additions prior to doing everything. Like if I'm using 8.75gallons of water and both what it's telling me for Mash and Sparge into that...

Now this just got confusing...why are there all of a sudden two different stir plate options? Stir Plate (K. Troester) Stir Plate (J. Zainesheff) And I get completely different sets of numbers for each. See below...Anyone know what the difference is...aside from numbers; and...

I have been trying BIAB, but after burning a blanket and burning to the voile bag to the side of the hot kettle and the mess of trying to hold a 20+# bag of wet grains and draining into pot is not fun... I've decided to try the following setup: 52-Qt Igloo Cooler (http://tinyurl.com/b3f8zfy)...

So its been about two weeks since bottling, let it sit in fridge for about a week. I am getting a almost stingy kind of carbonation on the tounge. Had similar thing with other beers. Is it too much priming sugar? What could cause this taste?

So the main malts I use (Franco-Belges) are not in Beersmith. How can I enter it. Here is the screenshot from Beersmith and one from CountryMaltGroup. Do I have all the information there to enter into beersmith. I don't see Color SRM, Yield, Potential, Coarse Fine Difference, Diastatic...

I got two packets of 2oz Oak Cubes from Northern Brewer, they are in silver packs...are these packages already sanitized and able to just be dumped into secondary? If I need to sanitize...how do I do it in a microwave (actual process...see alot of people mention it, but not how to do it)...

In regards to doing BIAB: I have a 44 Quart Bayou SS Kettle. I have a Sightglass installed, so there is an eyebolt towards top that really limits it to about 9.5 gallons at most. If I have a grain bill of 16.5lbs. Will this fit in my kettle without doing a sparge? I am a little confused...

I have a new beer i just put in primary yesterday. Any thoughts if I can pull some beer out of primary when it's done fermenting to make room for a can of the oregon fruit puree (raspberry)? My thought process... Get more yeast activity to convert sugar in puree in primary to get a boost...

*Update: Contacted Midwest and they did what they could to provide great customer service. So if you have a problem, contact them, as they are really understanding and want to make sure you are taken care of. This is my second attempt at BIAB, first attempt went well, just ended with twice as...

I had two packets of Wyeast. I activated both of them, I only ended up using one a few weeks ago (been since Jan 27). The packet swelled and is still swelled in the fridge since I activated it. I assume it'll still be fine and the yeast are just cold crashed in the packet waiting to be...

Anyone know of a good substitute for Weyermann's Abbey Malt? No LHBS carries it, so I'd have to get it online, but seems when one carries that they don't carry the other grains I want to get. So is there something more common that compares to this. My LHBS suggested using a mix of Belgian...
