just brewed tonight, cant wait till its ready. this is a Kansas beer, its very good.
Was this a brew in bag only or was there malt extract you added? What was your target OG? 1.035 doest seem like a TERRIBLE og. It will just be a session beer. I had a beer that I let sit for 20 days and it finnalllly dropped down to 1.010 after sitting at 1.014 forever. One last question for you, What is a California person doing brewing a Kansas beer? and thanks for the beer porn pics
ok.. So My starting Gravity for this brew was 1.035, seemed kind of low for this beer. 8 days later its 1.017, ill check it again in 4 days. I have some concerns about the process.
In the pictures you see the grains steeping, Unfortunately after I had started everything I had realized I had no grain bags. What you see the grains in is a baking cheese cloth, it wasn't big enough for all the grain so I kind of "made it fit" and stuffed it all in it. I steeped for about 35 minutes at 158 degrees, and it seemed that it worked fine. My concern is that the grain was to tight and it didn't completely steep out, could this be the reason for the low gravity levels? Also I don't think the beer is as dark as it should be, could this be why?
It smells and tastes good, just wondering if these are the reasons its not "right"...
