• Posted in thread: Pumpkin Pale Ale recipe -- does it look good? on 09-13-2012 at 06:26 AM
  Your recipe overall looks fine. You may need a lot more pumpkin. I made a 5 gallon pumpkin
  saison with 4lbs of pumpkin in the mash and I couldn't taste the pumpkin in the finished
  product at all. You ...

  Yup, that's what I use and it works for me.

  I actually haven't ever brewed with acid malt. I've heard from other folks in my homebrew club
  its not quite the same as actually souring your wort. Not that it's bad necessarily, think hot
  chocolate ...

  Is this how it is suppose to look, and should have it been more active?* Looks fine to me.
  Every fermentation is going to be a bit different. If you're really nervous about it you could
  take a gravity...

  You bottle when fermentation is complete. The best way to tell is have two gravity readings
  with no change(Although i don't think most people do this). Airlock activity isn't really a
  great way to jud...

  If you fermented too hot it would probable ferment more vigorously. In that case you normally
  get a lower FG but stronger alcohol flavors. So I don't think that's what happened. Fermenting
  too cold ca...

• Posted in thread: A little concerned on 02-27-2012 at 04:15 PM
  I'd just give it more time. Airlock activity is not a good indicator of fermentation. It is
  possible that the airlock isn't on all the way or that there isn't a perfect seal on the
  bucket(if you're us...

  Looks great to me. When in doubt you can always run it through again. You can grind it as fine
  as you want as long as you throw some rice hulls in there.

  How much priming sugar did you add/what size batch did you make/how long was your primary?I may
  try another beer also. When you're bottling beer quality can really vary from bottle to bottle.

  If you can avoid moving it that's certainly better. But there are a few things to watch out
  for.- Beer getting light struck(Skunked) - Keep it out of the sun while moving, so keep it
  under a blanket o...
