Well what I am trying now is I boiled some fermintable sugar with some water, chilled it and dumped it into the ferm and added more yeast. This might at least get my abv higher.
I talked with AHS and they pin pointed to too high of mash temps. The ferm temp sat right at 67 the whole time. I ordered another kit and going to try 150deg mash temp. I am going to add some more sugar to this beer and another package of yeast and see if I can get some more abv. The yeast cake...
Here is my data for this brew.

Well here is an update. Beer has been in primary for 16days and transfered to secondary. Pulled a sample off and im sitting at 1.022. Can I pitch yeast again in secondary?
Ps: sample tasted great just a little sweet.
I will almost drink any beer, but when I go on hunting or fishing trips I get Lone Star or Pearl Light. It is something about drinking crappy Texas beer that I love.
So when you guys are taking gravity readings are you dumping your sample back in? Im using a 6.5 gal ferm and ended up with right at 5 gal so not sure if I can reach it with turkey baster to pull a sample off
I brewed my first all grain biab which the OG was 1.047 so I pitched one packet of safeale 05 dry right on top of the cooled wort (76f). It started fermington in about 5 hours and went slow in the airlock unlike my last brews. It has been 9 days and beer has cleared out pretty but the airlock is...
I opened up my keezer today to pull an almost empty keg to take to a buddies house tomorrow and found mold on the rubber portion on 2 of my kegs out of 3 that was not there a week or so ago. These kegs have been in there for months. What causes this? I wiped the portion down with a lysol wipe.
Well everything flowed pretty good today. I hit my og of 1.044 but noticed my protien break was way bigger than the partial mashes I have done in the past. I did not bother with water treatments or anything for the first time. Sorry my pick is sideways.
