I found out why i was missing a St. Paul scoresheet. The director said they missed all of the Belgian Tripels. He didn't go into to detail and AHA is deciding what to do.

I am still [somewhat] patiently awaiting my St. Paul results. Hopefully I'll get them soon, considering others already have had their results for several days now!

Just tried my third batch of this and it is amazing. I kept the recipe simple (6# 2-row, 2# corn, 1# rice), but mashed low (149-150) and fermented in the upper 50s (S-05). It came out incredibly dry...

Anything you do at this point is fine. Longer time in the fermenter never hurts, but I do see diminishing returns starting after 2-3 weeks. Alternatively, since you have 2.5 weeks away, you could...

You'll be fine. Some people don't chill their wort at all - just let it sit overnight before pitching and it comes out ok. Homebrew is actually pretty hardy and not as easy to ruin as one may think....

I am assuming you are all-grain, which is good as aromatic malt requires mashing and there is no real substitute for it.

A little roast barley will go a long way, so be careful with using too...

Good luck with your clone. The coldest I've brewed in is 11F and that was pushing it... At least cooling happened quickly as my ground water gets to about 40 in winter.

Cream ales are great for this and pretty hard to screw up. Cream of three crops cream ale is an excellent beer for summer. Search for it on here. Easy and cheap to make and very drinkable.

As I reflect on it a bit I realize that stout failures were early in my all grain days. I fermented too warm, didn't make liquid yeast starters, rehydrate dry yeast, etc. It is quite possible that my...

Why S04 and not S05? I find S05 to be more forgiving at warmer temps and is quite neutral.

There is no set timetable, just make sure it is done fermenting before bottling. You should be safe...

Just curious as to why I always hear 5.2 as the gold standard for pH? Is this just a minimum value that shouldn't be crossed? Despite it apparently not working quite often why does 5 Star attempt to...

Thanks for both of your responses. It sounds like my best course of action is to just buy and calibrate a pH meter rather than trying to guess if the water analysis is accurate.
