    When to end fermentation...

    I have been fermenting a golden ale. Fermentation went as expected and the beer has now reached the expected FG which is stable for the last 2 days. However, the recipe called for 2 weeks of fermentation, and it has only been 9 days. Is there some advantage to waiting longer before cold...

    Sudden cessation of fermentation

    Something very strange happened today. Four days ago, I started fermenting an IPA. I'm using Imperial Yeast A24 Dry Hop at 68 degrees F. Expected OG was 1.067, but I only got 1.060. No big deal. Started bubbling within 12 hours. Went out of town for last 2 days. When I came back today, the...

    Kegging Weissbeer

    I am about to keg a Weissbeer that I brewed. Looking at various references, I chose 4 volumes of CO2 for forced carbonation. At a kegerator temp of 38 F, Brewer's Friend tells me the keg pressure should be at about 27 psi. OK, so I leave it at that pressure for a week or two to carbonate the...

    Splitting brew day

    I'm going to brew this weekend, but, on both days, I will be busy for about half the day. I use BIAB, and I was wondering about getting through the 60 minute mash, pulling the grain, covering the kettle tightly, and continuing with the boil the following day. I have read some concern about the...

    First time kegger....confused

    I just bought a kegerator and have decided to jump into kegging my beer. I've figured out a lot of the process, but I still have a couple of questions. First, I've figured out the pressure I need for forced carbonation. I set it on the regulator and leave the beer in the kegerator. However...
