sugar

Hi all, I am in the process of brewing my first special ale. Instructions say to transfer fermented beer into bottles or secondary bucket and light spray malt or sugar before bottling. Previous lager kits I have used had priming sugar supplied with the kit, this doesn't. I plan to transfer...

Hey Everyone, I've been having difficulty with BeerSmith lately. My OG is coming out way lower than what BeerSmith says it should be. I'm going to do some research over the weekend to figure out if it's a setting in BeerSmith or if it is my brewing. Either way, I brewed a NEIPA yesterday...

Hi all, We had long time plans to do a sour. So recently (14-1-2018) we set out to do a graded souring. We brewed a saison which we fermented with WLP566 (Belgain Saison II). After two weeks (28-1), when airlock activity and gravity readings came to an arrest, we pitched in a package of Wyeast...

Hey Everyone..... - I melted down some Swedish Berry candies into red syrup. - Boiled it in a gallon of water. - Added sugar and acid blend - Added a cup of green tea And so far, it seems to be fermenting! Check out my photos!

I have a fully-carbed pale that I bottled about 1.5 months ago, & the green apple taste is pretty strong, to the point that it's almost cider-y on the end. It fermented for a full 3 weeks, had a stable FG of ~1.010 for a week, & my sample at bottling time tasted amazing, so the green apple isn't...

With the help of this forum and other resources, I've managed to ferment a few ciders and meads with some success. I feel comfortable referencing before and after measurements of specific gravity to estimate alcohol content, but I had a follow up question on interpreting that value. Would it...

So, slightly confused. I know I'm supposed to rack my beer from the fermenter to the bottling bucket after putting the priming sugar mixture in the bucket. But, couldn't I just rack the beer into a large pot that I mix the priming mixture into (after the liquid has cooled of course)? What's...

I am priming 25 litres of pilner lager for bottling. At the moment it is in a clean fermenting bin after being siphoned out of a primary. How much priming sugar will be needed to produce the required fizz? It has been fermenting before for 2.5 weeks.

How much priming sugar should I add in grams to a 25 litre batch before bottling?

So this is my first Mr. Beer batch, and my first batch ever. I was too excited yesterday to bottle and although I did every other step, I forgot to add the sugar. I bottled last night about 4pm, so do you think if I reopen the bottles tonight to add the sugar it's going to ruin what I already...

Hello, Today I was bottling my first batch of beer. I made the mistake of pouring the priming sugar dry into the bottling bucket without boiling into a syrup first. For some reason I thought it would all mix together as the beer was siphoned into it. So I bottled all my beer and then looked...
