Cut the biscuit and cara ll to no more than a 1/4lbs each. 5gal batch correct?

Bottling highly carbonated beers work best, Belgian's, etc. I just can't get that level of carbonation in a keg, or better put, get it out of the keg properly. Just an overcarbonated foamy mess.

Re-heat it. Bring it to a quick boil, cool it and re-yeast it. However, you do need to pull a quart and ferment it on the side before you start the re-heat. Sorry, I just got to know.

I've got too many. 2023 the craft brewer convention was in nashville and our local clubs volunteered to help. After the last day when the convention floor closed, we went around and asked vendors if the would give us anything they weren't going to pack up. We got pounds of all ingredients. Alot...

I do 10-14 days and only go to about 63 for a couple days.

Oktoberfest is one of my 10-gal batch brews (usually I do 5-gallon batches.) Two separate kegs, since I find myself nipping at it all summer. When September hits I find the one keg a bit low, but there is a full one ready to tap. Also my fermenters are 7g so I try different yeasts on the same...

Kolsch is number one, which led me to lagers - Czech premium and dark, Oktoberfest, Vienna Lager and California Common.

Interesting, I've not heard this a feature of pressure fermenting.

Let it ride for this batch, but do you have the temp probe in one of your buckets? Are the buckets plastic? Typical plastic brew buckets aren't great at heat exchange, thus the fermentation temp inside the bucket, especially 5gal buckets, is probably 3-5°f higher during high krausen. Put a fan...

I stand corrected, but.... like the Negra calls itself a Munich Dunkel, Dos Equis Amber calls itself a Vienna Lager - go figure.

I think you guys are thinking Dos Equis amber.

Try it! In terms of mega breweries, it's a great beer. My favorite mass and Mexican beer (outside of Mexico,) dark and light. On tap is even better. Negra is finally opening the mass market to dark lagers. There used to be a lot of dark lagers on the mass market, Schlitz and Lowenbrau dark was...
