Relax. You are fine. Sounds like a totally normal fermentation. Airlock activity usually stop after a few days. The yeast are still working though. Just leave it for a few weeks to clean up. No need to do anything other than try to keep the temperature at a Constant temperature. Remember airlock...
I feel like a newbie!:eek: I new it was hot break but had never had it that bad before. The picture does not do it justice, by the end it was real bad. ultimately it will fall out, no worries. Hit 1.063 should be good stuff.:mug:
I thought so too, and I guess it is however; it has stayed the entire 90 minute boil and has only gotten worse. Is this common? I have never had this happen before.
Help I'm brewing a simple Saison. Currently boiling and out of nowhere there's little white floaters in my wort that were not there when I started to boil. does anyone know what this could be? Mostly Pilsner malt with a little bit of Vienna in Munich. Thanks
Got my new Blichmann Burner with leg extensions today and had to share it with someone. I am brewing 10 gals of Oatmeal Stout on Sunday. Will post a small review after using this for those who are interested. I have actually had dreams about this burner!
Yes, use the 10 gallon MLT. I've had no issues at all with heat loss due to large head space. Make sure to pre-heat mash tun and your good to go. I make 5 gallon session beers in mine all the time and lose less than 1 degree in 60 minutes.
I haven't been to market garden myself. Thanks for suggesting it, i think I will make the short trek up from sunny medina and check them out. Also $6 a beer is quite high for my taste too, thats why i brew my own, i can't afford some of these beers anymore. Cheers.
If you wanted to hit another brew pub check out fat heads brewery and restaurant. One of the best brewers in ohio ( imho) also food is excellent.

Make sure you mix the priming sugar well into the wort without oxygenating it. When I used to bottle I noticed this same problem when I did not swirl the wort and priming sugar very lightly with the racking cane to combine when in the bottling bucket. This could be your problem. ;)
For what it's worth, I've brewed Jamil's brown porter from brewing classic styles a couple of times and it has a lot of chocolate flavor. It is also a really good porter. The recipe should be available online, i'm not sure if I can post it here.
To the op. I would definately go with the 10 gallon mlt. I own and have used both a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon mlt. I rarely if ever use my 5 gallon anymore. With the 5 gal tun I was always at the top of the tun when mashing and often was not able to do a mash out or just raise temp because of...
