  Brewed a 5 gallon batch with 1.066 original gravity. Added Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale. It's been
  almost 5 weeks now and the gravity is only 1.022 and it still tastes sweet. Should I just give
  it more ti...

  What was the temperature on the night that you set it out? I believe that mid-50s are the
  best.Sounds about right. It was low 60s or high 50s.

  To clarify... it was out for one night. Then it was sealed with an airlock for 2 months. Looks

  prevent mold th...

  Made a starter with some DME and dried wild hops. Left it out overnight on a cool spring

  I'm brewing an all grain barleywine kit. The recipe indicates a SG of 1.084 and FG 1.023.
  Before the boil the wort measured 1.090. Unfortunately I couldn't check after the boil because
  the hygrometer ...

  Looks like hot break to me ... Just a lot of itThats just one piece. There were many pieces of
  that size and even bigger. Any idea what could cause this much hot break?

• Posted in thread: Too Much Hot Break ? on 02-29-2012 at 03:18 PM
  looks nice!!So it's safe to assume that a bunch of that stuff moving around in the boil is
  fine? Wonder how come it hasn't happened to me before. Maybe it did but I just didn't notice
  because of the h...

  I have always used pellets, and they do produce a lot foam. I just throw mine in the boil and
  strain them after. I have never seen "golf ball " sized egg dop soup looking stuff. Did you
  happen to take...
