thanks. that helps. i will try your method.

so i just got all the equipment i needed to be able to keg my beer. instead of trying on one of my beers i decided to try it out on a root beer that we will serve at my 4 year olds birthday party this weekend (I would rather ruin root beer, than actual beer). :-) I tried watching videos and...

I live in Menifee, ca. It's still pretty warm out here. Ice bath seems like my only option. It will be work but I've gotta do it. Thanks guys this helps.

I just brewed an imperial stout and was wondering what would be the best temperature to ferment at. most reading I've done says around 60 degrees but I don't really have the capability to do that unless i put it in ice bath. any thoughts? My OG was 1.10 and i used California Ale Yeast WLP001...

IM currently working on getting my kegs welded and set up for brewing. So far I've got my ball valves installed and now need to decided on where to place my thermometer and sight glass. I've seen a few different set ups and just wanted to get your guys thoughts on how I should do it. Wether...

I did check before bottling but I wanted to see if it would read the same. I'm kinda new at this so I was wondering if the abv calculation I got was actually right. Does that make sense?

I just wanted to see if there would be a different reading from my final reading. Just kind of curious if it ended up at what it was suppose to.

Awesome! Thanks!!!

Does anyone know if you get an accurate gravity reading after the beer has been bottled?

So I got home from work and the yeast was working. :-) guess I was just worried out of impatience. :-) thanks guys for your input.

Sounds good!!! Thanks a lot for your help. Nice to know that there are people out there willing to help newbies like me. :-)

I did not do starter. Never have in the past. Didn't know I was suppose to I just learned you pitch it in as is since its already liquid form. When I get home today from work I'll try to get the temp down. Should I consider aerating more or doing another pitch if there's no activity by tonight?

I did all grain. It's a rye pale ale fermenting at 75 I pitched at 70 and yeast type was WLP001California Ale Yeast.

Hello fellas. I'm new to this forum thing and glad I came it across it because it looks like I can get a lot of useful information from a lot of knowledgable people. I'm new to home brewing and definitely have a lot of questions. I started brewing almost two years ago. I brewed about 7 total...
