And I agree with Twstr. I don't see anything wrong with the batches save for the middle pic

Are you sure no tools are getting in there that aren't properly sanitized? Airlock? Spoons? Anything that can be a common denominator to it all? I wear gloves And have a spray bottle of starsan that I am always spraying my hands and everything I touch. I hope your nightmare gets better!!

"the beer" not the eer

I did a 5 gallon batch with a coffee stout and 2 large cans pumpkin pie mix. Pumpkin didn't come through. Also I carbed with brown sugar and the. Eer came out a little flat :/. Still tasty though

Will do. Not sure when I am going to brew but it will be soon. I have to see how those measurements (in inches) are going to work. In my pot I have an indented ring near the bottom where a grate sits on, I think it is for steaming tamales, so the measurements are going to be a little off. At...

Thank you. That is what I figured, I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Thank you!

How much brown sugar did you use? I'm going to pumpkin pie filling ~60 oz with a stout kit then add some coffee into the 2ndary fermenter.
