Ah, makes sense. I was wondering how the CO2 was getting magically infused into my beer. Well looks like this batch may be undercarbonated - I've got one that I'm going to taste this evening to see how it's coming along.

I did stir the sugar but I didn't stir it once I added the wort in the bottling bucket. Have made a mental note to do that from now on. I think I should be alright considering my bottling temp.

Yep, the 0 minute additions I'm going to add once primary has settled a bit. It's currently fermenting at about 16C in my now temperature controlled freezer (wired up my STC-1000 earlier this week.) In other news, I bottled my NRB Amarillo APA this morning and used a cup of the yeast cake from that ...

Awesome, thanks for all the info. Well I'm brewing the beer as we speak, currently doing the mash-out and all is looking pretty good - temperatures during the mash never got more than +-1 degree from 66 so I'm happy with that. Currently bottling my 2nd BIAB (first is not quite at drinking stage) whi...

Just the 90 minute boil works for me. Got enough headroom in my keggle...

Ah, I thought I had already posted here and was wondering why I couldn't post anywhere else. My name's Scon and I did a bit of brewing in my early 20's but never really stuck with it. Now I've finally bought my own place I can set myself up with a proper brewery. I'm located in Queanbeyan, just outs...
