    Raising ABV during fermentation

    I brewed an Aletoberfest yesterday, ( I know it's an odd time of year for an Oktoberfest but I bought everything a long time ago and never got around to brewing it) and for whatever reason my OG was 1.040. If my FG is around 1.010 then I'm looking at an ABV in the low 4's. That is a little low...

    Oktoberfest no lager capability

    Got this recipe off of Beersmith.com. I am a stove top partial mash novice so I liked the simplicity of this recipe. I don't have lager capabilities so I am looking for an Oktoberfest ale recipe. Can I replace lager yeast with an ale and ferment at 65 to 68 degrees and be ok? Suggestions and...

    Oktoberfest ale recipe

    I am looking for a good partial mash Oktoberfest recipe that uses ale yeast instead of lager. I don't have the fridge space to lager during fermentation. Any suggestions. Still fairly new to brewing. I am a stove top partial mash brewer so please no all grain responses.

    Another dumb question. Is 2-row barley same as 2-row crystal malt? Only found Briess Flaked Barley on brewmasters.com

    First stout

    JimRausch - Thank you very much for your 'longwinded answer'! That was exactly what I was looking for. With the two being fairly similar I guess I didn't understand the difference until now. I am going to go to Friar Tuck tomorrow and get some 2-row and officially do my first PM. I'm pretty...

    First stout

    Pardon my ignorance, I have only 6 brews under my belt. Isn't holding that at 155 for 30 - 60 min. called steeping? Maybe that's why I never understood what partial mash actually means. If you could maybe clarify the difference between the two I wouldn't sound like such an idiot, and it may...
