What temperature did you mash this and what temperature did you sparge with?

Bier, What temp did you ferment at?

I waited over two days and the yeast did not start. The package never expanded either. I thought safale04 was the same as whitbread.

Thanks for the recipe and your response. It was great last time. I can't wait to see what the difference will be this Time!!

Thanks. I am going to keg it today and will let yall know.

The sample did taste good. It was a little maltier than the last time. That is what I was going for. I just thought it would be lower than that. I read somewhere that too much sugar left in beer could have adverse effects on peoples stomachs.

BM's New Castle Clone, this is the second time that I have brewed this. I had some issues this time. My mash temp was way to high. I believe it ended up being 159-160. My yeast was dead and ended up having to use safale04 instead. It has been in the primary for 2.5 weeks. The final gravity is...

Thanks! Maybe I can design you a avatar. As for the beer, they were both put in the kegs at the same time. Would they both not clear at the same time?

I brewed up a blonde by BM. used and cooled using a plate chiller. I did a 10 gallon batch. Moved them both over to two kegs. Here is the puzzle. One keg that I have been drinking on is crystal clear, Its about half empty. The other keg only has had maybe 5 glasses drawn off and is still...

Thanks everyone.

I pitched some liquid yeast and after 2 days saw no sign of fermentation. I then pitched more and then in 12 hrs started getting fermentation. I now have so much fermentation that it is boiling my air lock dry. I have a mixture of water and starsan and it is bubbling up the starsan making the...

I think it would be great. I am going to dry hop in the keg next time.

Thanks everyone for the information. I am going to try this on this batch and I will let yall known.:)
