thanks guys for the replies gonna try that english pale ale.

Ok everybody, I'm brewing tomorrow and I have no idea what I want to or can brew with the supplies on hand. So I'm looking for ideas. Disclaimer.... I brew one gallon batches, and I used the BIAB method. So here's what I got on hand 2 Row (pounds and pounds of it) Honey 1 lb Biscuit 1...

mark me down for 2 as well.

I remember tasting my first brew, thought it was "ok". At least that's what I was telling myself, truth be told I thought it was bad. I left them (on purpose) in the closet, came back to them like a month later by accident because I forgot all about them and cracked one open. It aged very well...

thanks, its just that in the past using 05, i get a really active fermentation for a few days at least. This time it seemed to just be a one and done day

OK guys here's another "Yeast Stalled" question for you. On Wednesday I brewed a gallon of deschutes black butte porter and I pitched it with a half pack of 05. Got really good activity within 24 hours but since then it has seemed to stall. I asked the LHBS what temp I should be fermenting this...

It's your first attempt at AG, mistakes will be made. Im pretty sure there are plenty of us that made mistakes on our first few batches of AG but, you just take GOOD NOTES on your process and you will dial it in. There are multiple web sites that offer step by step "guide lines" when brewing. I...

personally I'd go with 2 Row and MO, with a 10 pound bag of carapils. Only because I've started using it to help with body/head retention. I dont need a 50 pound bag but, i can easily justify a 10 pound bag.

kind of like this...

I always hang a tag on my fermentors with batch, and brew date. SWMBO rolls her eyes but I love being "that guy". Then when I rack i hang the tags in my binder to keep track of them.

Sorry for the late response, but yea I used it and have a ton of action going on. I cleaned and sanitized the jar days in advance. I brew 1 gallon batches so a half of pack works just great for me.:mug:

im brewing right now and I'm in new territory, I have some US-05 that was opened about a week ago, I kept it refrigerated in a glass jar (baby food) and I am hoping to use it today. I have other yeast I can use but I really dont want to open a new pack. Can I use it or is too late? remember it...

Whats going on Home Brew Talkers??? Just brewed my first BIAB on the 20th wanted to get a few thoughts from anyone. First off it was a one gallon SMaSH, 2lb Maris Otter .25oz Amarillo @ 60 .25oz Amarillo @0 Irish Moss 1tsp @ 10 US 05 dry yeast 70 min mash @150 no mash out Pre...

I went with the King Kooker. Mainly becuase it was 25" tall and right around 50.00. Just picked it up last night.
