could be but I wouldnt be worried about it. Looks like your on your way to making some beer.

Use the online yeast calculator Mr. Malty http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html

I would like to know what to do with side arms as well, first time growing hops and honestly I didnt even know that this would happen.

Nice! I'll have to try it next time if i'm in a pinch. I ended up using 2007 because they didn't have 34/70 and was trying to doing the quick lager method but ended up fermenting at 68 from the beginning. Came out excellent! What temp did you use and what was your fermentation schedule?

That's awesome, glad your getting good results that quickly! One of my issues with bottling was the fact it takes so long. With that being said I'll never bottle again ahaha. :mug:

Probably but I always heard that bottle conditioning would scavenge the oxygen that would be introduced during bottling.

IDK if you have it available but beersmith does this for you. Choose the length of the hop stand and the temp and it will give you an estimation.

Whats your process looks like that's a crazy turnover for a bottled beer!

Kegging was the single best thing that I noticed that made the largest improvement to my beer. idk what about it made a difference but while I was bottling I noticed that after fermentation my beer would taste great. I would get excited for a batch then after bottling and letting condition for...

Boys and girls, this came out amazing! Warm fermentation really did not have any affect on the end product by my taste buds. Really clean easy drinking beer with that hay pilsner malt thing that I love. I will be using this yeast again to warm ferment in the future. Next I would like to see...

So I let it ride for 10 days and cold crashed. I tasted a sample 7 days in and noticed what seemed to be a bit of acetaldehyde but after 3 more days I think it has been cleaned up. Just added geletin and will be kegging in a few days. Ill report back with pictures and tasting notes. Figured...

So i accidentally forgot to set my fermentation fridge for lager temps and now my Pilsner fermented with Wyeast 2007 is fermenting at 68f. I've had experience warm fermenting lager strains in the past with 34/70 but that's been well documented to have good results. Anyone ever experiment with...

I've been brewing BIAB for about five years now and made plenty of IPA with the right amount of bitterness in my brews. Only time when I've had issues hop bitterness is when one of the three things mentioned above was out of wack. Do you add anything to change your water profile, looks like its...
