"Help me if you can" by the Beatles I brewed this canned lager 5 gallon kit 3-4 weeks ago, still in the primary. Newbie that I am, I boiled the water and emptied the contents (HME or LME)and let the water cool briefly prior to ice bath and then pitching the yeast into the wort in the primary...

I usually do a 5 gallon brew with approx. 3 gallon extract batch wort mixture in my brewpot so am adding approx 2.5-3 gallons of water ice after boil-off. Will this work as a chiller to bring the temp down for SG test and yeast-pitch? A true poor man's chiller. What say you??? :confused:

Will be 3 weeks in primary this Saturday (brew date 2-4-2012). OG = 1.060, just checked FG = 1.012 today...do I check it again Thursday and then again Saturday to see if it goes any lower? Expected FG per recipe is 1.013 so that looks excellent so far and OMG it tasted sweeeeeeeeeeeettt as in...

I am wanting to brew a Pils Urquell clone lager but I don't have a way to drop the ferment temp down to 48-56 degrees...my brew closet runs 64-68 degrees as my ales have been turning out great at this temp. Question is: what type of yeast can I substitute in this Pils brew that will work for...

My major concern is that with the airlock on bucket, the yeast has been very active and actually overflowing the airlock. Just put in primary on Saturday, Feb 3rd, first time homebrew with 5 gallons, I am used to Mr Beer fermenter. Not heavily but splatters on the lid…is this of major concern...
