  Quick update: I just got everything back in my fermenter. When I opened my fermenter there was
  a small amount of krauzen (which wasn't there at the 40 hour mark since pitch). I opened it at
  about 48 h...

  Congrats on your first batch, Cander! What do you want to brew for your second?I have Edworts
  Apfelwine in a carboy for about a month now. But I would not really call that a brew...Last
  Sunday was bre...

  Another question (actually 2 questions).... :)I'm going to draw off a gallon of wort and add
  the DME tonight. I am about 40 hours in since I pitched my yeast (WLP830), however, and have
  absolutely no ...

  Definitely use the full amount. I'd draw off a gallon or so of the wort and re-heat (~160F) it
  enough to dissolve the DME, cool, and pour back in.Picked up the DME today and plan on doing
  this. Wanted...

  WOOT! My first brewing attempt has been a success! I jumped right in with all grain brewing and
  made a nut brown ale. I made all sorts of mistakes, but the wisdom on here told me to just let
  it sit an...

  It was a typo, thanks for pointing it out.I like the idea of blending another batch with it,
  but it will be another 4-6 weeks before I have time to brew again, so I think I'll just buy the
  DME. I shou...

  I brewed a Sam Adams Winter Lager Clone yesterday. When I took my OG reading I realized I made
  a mistake somewhere as my OG was 1.022 and my target OG was 1.069.After going through my recipe
  again I r...

  I think the risks involved with transferring to a secondary tend to be overblown. Not say that
  there aren't any risks, but I've transferred many beers to a secondary and have never had a
  problem. As l...

  Ferment until FG is reached (How long you let it sit in primary depends on what it is....2-4
  weeks is the range. You could reach your final gravity in 3 days but if you bottle after 3 days
  you will no...

  Thanks for all the replies! Since this is my first brew, I want to minimize as much risk as
  possible, so I am going to stick with my primary for the entire fermentation. I don't want to
  risk oxidation...
