  Without having any experience with these, I can say that it sounds like it hasn't been left
  alone long enough. Personally, I would leave it in a room-temp location for 3 weeks, and then
  chill it for a...

  Nice setup! Homebrew or commercial in the kegs?

• Posted in thread: Strange color yeast on 03-23-2013 at 02:32 PM
  My cakes are frequently a dark brownish color. Maybe that's because I usually brew darker
  styles? I don't know. But I have heard of different yeast strains being slightly different in
  color from one a...

  Welcome, John.Ask away. Plenty of people here to help any way they can.Cheers!

• Posted in thread: What category to enter for competition? on 03-16-2013 at 04:58 AM
  Seems like a big hopbill for a 3.5 gallon batch. American Pale might be safe, and if the hop
  presence isn't there, that might be the right choice. But I would think IPA, just looking at
  the recipe. Ta...

• Posted in thread: Can anyone tell me what this is? on 02-23-2013 at 05:46 PM

  worse than a clogged autosiphon.

  Thanks. I know I need to relax and not worry, but having any reference point or experience
  makes me certain that I screwed up. Also, after checking the gravity last night it was 1.054
  when the recipe ...

  I haven't done it personally, but have seen it done. 1 drop of wort cools VERY fast.

• Posted in thread: First Batch - Friends say Fart & Burps but Fkn good! on 02-23-2013 at 04:01 PM
  Brewer's Yeast is actually a dietary supplement found in almost any vitamin section at the
  store. I have heard stories of a guy whose blood pressure and cholesterol were significantly
  improved after b...

  Leave it for 3 weeks or so. I would suspect it has mostly happened already. If you put
  everything in your batch that came with the kit, your SG would have been right where it was
  supposed to be. You'r...
