I bought a floating thermometer and at boil it read 90 degrees. Whaaaaat?

Actually, would it hurt if I put two 11.5 packs in?

It is. And thank you!

How much water should I start with for this recipe? I have a 5 gal brew kettle and will be increasing to 9lbs of DME

Going to brew this tonight. I should have an OG of 1.087 a FG of 1.024, and end up around 8.25% abv. I have the 11.5g packs of safale us-05 and will pitch dry.

Bitter kick is the best part of the IPA in my opinion. Looks good!

Another mistake. I added my sample for the hydrometer back to the fermentation bucket. Is this ok?

Also, should I rack this beer to a secondary? I know this may start some arguments. I did add Irish moss for the last 15 minutes of the boil.

Thanks! Now the hardest part... Patience

Hi all! I'm in the middle of brewing my first batch. It is the brewers best weizenbier kit. After all my research I was very concerned about te hot break, but it seemed to go to a rolling boil without one. It's all LME and hops. Is there anything I should be concerned about? Smells delicious...

Awesome, thanks! I'll be making my first batch within the week, so I've been saving bottles. The forum has been a great resource for me so far, and I look forward to learning more from everyone.

Can I bottle condition in 750ml beer bottles that I have? I am concerned about bottle bombs. They are southern tier bottles. Thanks!

I am bottling my first batch soon and am curious if I can reuse 750 ml bottles. I currently have bottles from Southern Tier. I will be bottle conditioning and am concerned about bottle bombs. Thanks everyone!
