I had to top off about 2 gallons of water, so could be a mixing issue for og.

OG supposed to be between 1.068-1.072. It was from a kit. I fermented 3 weeks as it suggested. It was at about 70 degrees when I took reading and about the same when I pitched the yeast. This was a dry yeast and recipe suggested just sprinkling it in, so no rehydrating done. I have removed keg...

I am using a blowoff for the first time and I am getting a ton of wort/krausen coming through the hose. Is this normal? I had about 4-5 inches of headspace in the carboy when I pitched. Just a very vigorous fermentation!! Primary - Pumpkin Ale Secondary - Sasquash Ale Kegged - Banana Peel Head
