Wondering if anyone knows of a quality establishment in the area... I can usually find something with a google search but have come up empty handed on Orange Beach. Thanks!

Thanks guys! It is bottled. I gave it a taste... not too shabby! Maybe the pics didn't do it justice. Nothing I have seen before. The surface of the beer looked good. This bubble seemed to be encapsulated by a film though... covered in white specks. It popped and I moved on.

Actually, I never did see the stringy stuff but the first two pics look a lot like what it was doing before the cold crash. I passed it off as some secondary activity.

Yeah, the bubble is the concern... It is about the size of a quarter.

lmao... nope.... I do love my beer but we all have to draw the line somewhere.

Just pulled this out of the cold crashing freezer to bottle. This doesn't look right. Any ideas?

Cappy, I'd like to know the same. What line of work are you in?

Dry hopping... Went to my LHB to pick up my hops. I always get my hops from a mail order house. Everything comes neatly packaged in 1oz. vacuum packed baggies... it seems sterile. When I asked for several different hops in 1oz. increments, my local guy went and opened up large bags of...

Nice work! How the heck are those printed? Looks like a clear film!

Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks guys... feeling better about this one... I JUST don't remember this much sediment clinging to the walls... in the past. Perhaps it is perfectly natural!

Revvy, Would scale cause any off flavors or infection? I did let both of these sit with StarSan in them for about an hour each. Would removing the scale take a longer "soak"?

Hey Guys, After another break from home brewing (2nd child) I got back in the game a little over a week ago. I put together two kits... mini-mash... an IPA and a Pale Ale. My equipment has been sitting idle for nearly a year. I began by an overnight oxiclean soak of both of my carboys. Both...

Thanks Revvy. I'll give it a couple of weeks.

Nope.... nothing like that. Proper caps and proper bottles here. I haven't even tried capping a twist-off. Most of my bottles are Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada. I DO getting a hint of a "pop" when I open the bottles. However, pouring the bear... no head.

12oz. bottles 70 - 72 degrees Siphon to bottling bucket... adding priming sugar (4.5 oz.) which has been boiled 5 minutes with 2 cups of water. The siphon tube lays in the bottom of the bucket (wrapping the inside diameter of the bucket) creating a whirlpool as the beer incorporates into the...

Bottling today... My last few beers have gone 3 weeks or more in the bottle. Each of them has failed to develop proper carbonation. Anything that I may be missing? Just a thought... I have been using Dawn to wash my bottling bucket and hoses... but rinsing thoroughly. Any chance that could...
