You can always brew and then pitch the next day. If your sanitation is good, it shouldn't be too much of a risk (I think). I've never done it, but it should be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Without looking at it, it sounds like the dough might be krausen. Post a pic to get better answers Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Belgian Tripel makes for a good aging beer if you go that route. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Here's an article on the subject. Interesting thoughts. http://gizmodo.com/5911514/can-you-turn-cheap-****ty-beer-into-good-beer/

I would just go with the 12lbs or 2-row. Doubling the Munich or quadrupling the crystal would change the flavor profile a lot while simply not adding the extra .75lb of two row won't change the flavor profile much at all. Were I to do what you suggest, I would probably go with .5lb Munich and...

I've never done a lager, so I can't tell you what to expect. I do know from reading that you want to pitch your yeast pretty close to the temperature it's going to ferment at. There is a way to up your OG. You have to create a sugar solution- using wort or sugar- that is dense enough to add...

The only way to check whether the sugars are fermented out is to use a hydrometer as flars suggested. I leave my ales in the primary for four weeks to allow the yeast to clean up the beer after the sugars have fermented out. If you have the time and space, I'd suggest leaving it in primary for...

You don't need to bag pellet hops. There are positives and negatives to doing it either way. For your first brew, it's no big deal what way you do it. Yep. More water means lower OG. Also not a problem. I use a blow-off tube for every time, just in case. It's up to you. There's a method for...

I am brewing a wheat ale that is supposed to taste a bit like a creamsicle. The Recipe is as follows: 3.5g Batch 5.5 lbs Wheat Malt 12oz Flaked Oats 4oz Honey Malt 4oz Caracrystal Wheat mash at 152 for 60 min OG measured at 1.052 Hops: 1.5oz Saaz 4.8%AA for 60 min to get 36 IBU's Other...

I have no experience with this, but everything I've read says to not reuse yeast that's been in a high gravity brew. Lots of alcohol puts a strain on the yeast and causes problems when reused. In addition, over pitching skips the early parts of the yeast cycle, which can cause problems in the...

Visible signs of fermentation can take a couple days. Relax. If it hasn't started fermenting after day 3 or 4, then you can add more yeast. I also just read an article that says that the viability of yeast is cut in half when you don't rehydrate before pitching it. That would mean that it...
