My guess is you are totally ok. Your fermentation us still taking place I would believe, it
just might not look like it. Pitching on a cake can often cause huge early Krausen and blow
offs then slow. ...Posted in thread: First Brew Complete! on 01-30-2012 at 02:52 AM
Congrats first of all! It is a fun journey. Did you take the OG reading after you added the
water? I am not familiar with the recipe you used and am not sure what taste was expected. Time

Just ordered the grains for thisnervous excitement.Couple Questions.Your SRM on some of the

who try and...Posted in thread: Five Days, Gravity Dropped, But Still Krausen? on 02-22-2011 at 01:31 AM
This can happen a lot of ways. What type of yeast did you use? The Kolsch strains, among some
others, are famous for their lack of falling Krasuen, even after 2 plus weeks.Nothing to worry
about.Posted in thread: Rye Percentages on 02-22-2011 at 01:26 AM
Looks Like an interesting recipe! If you haven't used Rye before, it is good to be in the 10%
to 30% range, which you are dead center on. I am not sure what your goals are, but you will
definately hav...Posted in thread: Goose Island Sofie...AG Clone ideas? on 02-03-2011 at 01:33 PM
Well, I am almost ready to try. It has been sitting in secondary for 3 weeks now after spending
