Thanks for the repsonces. It seemed to make sense that it woudl be ok. The beer is sealed in the bottles for a while. Well... not too long aorund here:drunk:

I have about 150 Grolsch swing tops bottles to sanitized. Can they all be sanitized then closed up to remain sanitized for an extended period of time, meaning weeks a a month or 2...not years. I figured at bottling time I would just swirl the cap/neck in a pail of sanitizer just before bottling.

I am on batch #6 (I think) and was thinking about when I will see some consistent results. So far i have brewed a different style of beer, different kit makers... boil... no boil etc. So i guess i can't expect "consistent" Anyway... to the question. Batch was bottled a bout a week ago and...

I am pretty much done with using one step as a sanitizer. I heard that is no longer on the approved sanitizer list. While I know the gov tends to go overboard with the CYA stuff, they do know something some of the time. I think so anyway.:confused:

Brother I here you on that. As far as the endless debates... I don;t know what they are in home brewing yet. But every hobby has them. In my other hobby, detailed scale modeling of WWII tanks and aircraft, someone ill ask the questions., "What's the correct dunkelgelb (dark yellow) for a...

Would a couple of gallons of one-step I mixed a few days ago still be good now. It is sitting in an open bucket. Not trying to save money since this is just pennies but just wondering.

I was thinking blow off tube as well. Thanks for the confirmation. We can compare notes in a few weeks:mug:

Now there's a coincidence. I just made the same mistake with Cooper's Pilsner and posted the same question yesterday. The directions are pretty vague in that respect. I called the folks at makebeer.net, Coopers distributor, and spoke to Tom. He said that while there may be a risk because you...

This was not a complete kit but one of the malt extract cans that com,e with the yeast packet. The booklet say to dissolve the LME and other fermentables in 2 liters of boiling water. Put this in the fermenter and top off to 21 liters. Then top off with cold water or ice to 23 liters to get...

Batch #4 - Cooper Pilsner. The booklet, a little vague, said additional fermentables needed. Light dry malt and dextrose. Went online to order and I ordered corn sugar instead of dextrose. Was I thinking that was for priming? Dunno. Point is I am guessing the dextrose was supposed to go in...

Ah yes, total relaxation has been achieved. JetSmooth, happy to share. 3-4 dried ancho chili 1 med. onion chopped 3 cloves garlic chopped 2-3 canned chipotle in adobo, seeded, + 1 T adobo sauce 2 T tomato paste 3 T molasses (regular, not black strap) 1/2 t ground clove 3/4 t ground...

While I am having a few Warsteiners, Some of my Headcracker Ale... 3rd batch of home brew... is in the fridge and should be ready by the time I finish this post. The pot is just starting to boil for batch number 4... Brewer's Best Pilsner and the ancho chili and molasses short ribs are...

Mnic, I am on my 4th batch so far and have noticed this same thing but not all the time from the same batch. I remember something I heard ages ago that if you put milk in a glass, no matter what you do do it after that, you will never again get a head form a beer in the glass. When I drink...

Thanks for the responses. Good tip about the rubber gasket. Will take some extra care next go.

I was getting ready to chill the last few bottles of a batch of Pilsner and I noticed one of the bottles had what look like a stain running down the side. I wiped the bottle down and determined it was on the inside. Looking closer i noticed a couple of darker colored nodules in the sediment...

Ain't it just like a newb to revive an old post. My primary hobby is building and detailing scale models and researching the subject. I used to be all aircraft all the time... hence the wing_nut handle... but now mostly armor.

8 weeks? 3 MONTHS? I can't make those. I already had one form my lastest batch and its only been 5 days:cross:

Yup, newb here Home Inspector

Thanks again. Even though it has only been 6 days I chilled and drank one today. I did this for the 1st 2 batches as well to see what the diff is over time. If this is only going to get better over time WOW is this going to be good Already has good carbonation and the flavor does not...

WOW... fast replies. Thanks all for responding and confirming what I figured... well... maybe hoped for is better. yes kammee except the is was a no boil kit. I am assuming the hops was already in the LEM (is that correct jargon?). The extra Tbs of sugar was for the batch not per Pint...
