    Issues with Safale-US05?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. This was a BIAB batch. I added oranges to the primary, so I wanted to transfer to a secondary before dry hopping. So, my plan now is to wait another day and check gravity again just to be sure it's done. Then I'll cold crash, transfer, raise the temperature...

    Issues with Safale-US05?

    This is the first brew I've used this yeast and have a couple of questions... I brewed and IPA back on 9/2 and this beer has been in the primary at 68 degrees since. My original gravity was 1.047 and my current gravity is 1.013. Since it's the first time I've used this I'm not sure what kind...

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Thanks. I'll throw it in a keg and go ahead and get it carbed.

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Yooper, would you just carb it enough to seal the keg and bleed off the oxygen, or would you put it under carbonating pressure and leave it there until I'm done lagering?

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Thanks for the help. Took a hydrometer reading yesterday and I had finally reached FG, so I transferred to the secondary. Now my question refers to lagering. My initial thought was to lager in a keg under minimal pressure (disconnected from the CO2), however decided to lager in a carboy at...

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Just took a hydrometer reading... OG = 1.061, Current gravity = 1.020, Estimated FG = 1.013 So... Looks like I started the DR too soon. Now my question is: Do I leave at the elevated temperature until it's done (already at this temp for 48hrs) or do I drop the temperature back down to...

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Thanks for the reply. I thought about taking a reading, but was thinking with all the activity in the airlock I was still far from being done with fermentation. I didn't think about activity due to temperature change... I'm brewing Jamil's Extra Yellow from Brewing Classic Styles. I was...

    Diacetyl Rest and Lagering Question

    Hi, I'm sure this has been answered before, however I could not find a definitive answer using the search feature, so here goes... My first lager was in the primary at 50 degrees for 12 days. I increased the temperature to 60 degrees on day 12 for a diacetyl rest, and plan on moving to...
