I am brewing up a fairly big IPA tomorrow OG should be around 1.070ish... I am currently making a 1600ml starter of Wyeast 1056 with 160grams of LME... my question and forgive me if its a total noob question is after the fermentation gets going in my starter, do I pitch the entire contents of...

Brewed up a Pliny clone and only pitched one pack of Wyeast... this is the first time I have checked the gravity but it seems high after 2 weeks... any thoughts? I did not pitch a starter, just smack pack into the wort... should I re-pitch??

So my irish red has been in the primary for about a week, no airlock activity, i transfered it over to the carboy and the beer is smelling really really sweet. Should I have left it in the primary for longer... Should I re-pitch some yeast. The FG when I transfered was 1.014 which is fine...

I just finished up kegging and force carbonating my first hoeggarden clone last night. Wow homebrewing is sweet. I gave some to my buddies and they all LOVED it, plus it packs a great punch, had a Liter out of my Stine and felt real real nice. I'm off to keg up my next batch. Cheers.

I know this isent the right board for this but no one will see it otherwise... if you are close to NC someone please jump on this offer... I think this is over 1000$ worth of brewing equipment for so cheap. If ypu live in GA you are totally in luck...

I may get shunned from the brewing community for asking this but here it goes... Currently I have 3 batches going, 2 are in the 2ndary, one has been in the 2ndary for over 2 weeks now, zero airlock activity. I put that one in the fridge its been cold fermenting for over 4 days. I brewed...

Anyone in the CT area know of a place to fill my C02 tank... I know sports authority does Co2 paintball tanks but im sure the adaptors are different and that wont work, Any thoughts or places to go would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.:drunk:

My Belgain has been about two weeks in the 2ndary now, its looking really nice and tasting even better... Should I throw the carboy in the fridge for a few days while i wait for my kegs to come? Is there any harm in dropping the temp for a few days?

How often should i fully break down my corni's and clean them, you know taking apart the valves etc... I should just be able to run some sanitizer though the system and be ok? Let me know. Cheers.:drunk:

Should I still use priming sugar if im going to keg my beer and force carbonate? Please let me know, my kegs are on there way :drunk:

My brew in in the secondary now, when it was fermenting my basement was around 70-72 which was perfect, now that its hotter out we arent running the heat so my basement is around 63-65, is this ok for the beer or should i move it to a warmer place?

How long is a good time for a brew to stay in the 2ndary? Im brewing a beligain white hoegarden clone. Is it normal for the top to be a lot lighter then the bottom, I know its going to take time for the beer to settle but i have two cornys coming in about a week so would it be ok to transfer...

there is some chunky mess/ globs of krausen on the top of my primary... is it ok to transfer to the carboy? its not foamy just right on the surface, it almost looks like chunks of yeast. Should I let that fall before transferring or will that always be there. the FG is at 1.012 and steady.

Does anyone know a good website or place around CT to get used corni's and kegging setups? Im on a tight budget considering I'm a waiter and most of my money goes towards school. Were looking to get 2-3 used (cleaned and checked) kegs and all the hookups. Any of you pros out there know a good...

My hoegarrden clone has been in primary for 5 days now, the bubbles have slowed and the SG is at 1.014? do you think its time to move it to the carboy? :mug:

So my primary has been fermenting for only 36 hours and the time between bubbles is about 15-20 seconds, if by tomorrow its a minute should i go ahead and transfer to the carboy? or just wait the full week even though there will be no activity by then?

Once i pressurize a keg, is it possible to leave it in the fridge and just hang out? or is it going to have to have a constant pressure on it at all times for it not to go flat? i found a great local deal for 2 used, but cleaned kegs, with all the needed equip like co2 tanks etc... But i need to...

When I transfer from primary to my carboy how much sediment should I expect to be on the bottom of the primary? Should I just transfer it all or leave the seidment and crud behind? I mean once its in the carboy ill be able to judge when i sipon for bottling. I figure there is delicous beer in...
