Use not sue lol Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Hi all, Used a kit for a nut ale but lost some of the wort during transfer (spilled) to fermenter 4 weeks ago. Now have 4 gallons instead of 5. OG and FG were both spot on. The question is whether I sue all of the priming sugar or 4/5 (80%) due to decreased volume. Don't want to have exploding...

Ok here's what I know so far. From 24-48 hours bubbles big time in the 3 part air lock. Since then. Pretty much nada. Should I be concerned? I was planning on 14 day fermentation and 14 day conditioning. Am I being paranoid since it's only been a fee days? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

When you say take notes what should I write down? Thanks for the replies also Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Hi everyone, just did my first brew. Midwest oatmeal stout recipe. Got the whole kit for Christmas along with the recipe of the month club. Don't have any idea if I did it write but followed Palmer How to Brew instructions and the recipe. Thanks for all of your posts. I searched more than on e...
