Re: Batch priming

Hello jhough I am again going slightly into uncharted waters for me... If some live yeast remains in the bottles, and you should, likely you could add 1/8 tsp of sugar to each bottle and then cap it, keep at active fermentation temperature to get proper CO2. That’s what I would do. This is what I do...

Hello mk1 Yes your methodology seems sound. Malt producers normally have a range of color and I always guess in the middle. You are unlikely to get more info in your shipment, but who knows...

Re: Batch priming

Hey jhough , Good question! I can take a stab at it and give you my thoughts, as a person that always cold crashes...but kegs. (Manually add sugar to bottles, small amount of bottling that I do).

Hey mk1 , a smidge bit more info to add to jhough’s info. You do need to input the info for your system at the start of the info.

Hello menocchio and Evan and welcome to the forum! Evan - I brew lots of Pilsners; got a Czech Pilsner on tap now and a German Pils in the fermenter, and a Munich Helles (similar style) also on tap and almost all gone. And yes, our BIABacus tool is a super good help when brewing. You will want to re...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello @ Jimmy01 Welcome to the forum! Thanks for the good information about what you are doing. I can understand concern about keeping weight in check as we age. There are ways to stay healthy and still regularly enjoy beer. (Smaller portion size and less servings...of everything consumed, is one wa...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello Aggie10 , A couple thoughts to add to Tony’s advice... We are going to prefer more proper and longer established brewing traditions with a longer mash time and a longer boil time... In fact, we prefer 90-minute mash and 90-minute boil. That said, some including the Brülosophy blog writers have...
