Hi guys, I have tried my second all grain and I can see there is a lot I don't know. The first attempt was a brew in a bag, still in the primary, but no probems noted, other that it was pretty messy to do in the kitchen. My attempt last night was with a converted round gott 5 gallon cooler...

Hi guys, I generally do extract brewing with specialty grains to brew IPA and Red Ales, and I have used different dry and liquid yeast strains. I have been getting good results with Nottingham Danask but for the last few batches I have used Safale 04 and while still getting good tasting beer...

What a funny movie, anybody else seen this yet. Loved the song "Let's Duet". Rick

What about stirring or shaking the mix halfway through the primary fermentation cycle? I notice there is a lot gunk in the bottom after the first week in the primary. Is there any unreacted sugars there that is not being utilized? Yeah, I know "cheap bastard", but I already lose 1/2 gallon...

Put together an IPA yesterday, and no bubbles after 24 hours. I am using the White Labs London Ale brand yeast. I didn't use a starter, just added the yeast after cooling the wort down to 70 f. How long should I wait? Would I just add another batch of yeast? This is just my third batch...
