While I was looking at my clone recipe, I did notice that I ignored the yeast suggestion and used US-05. The recipe calls for Wyeast 1968, which has an attenuation of 67-71%. This is even in the description: " Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in...

Thanks Martin, I am using RO water with 1 tsp of gypsum, and 1 tsp of calcium chloride. In addition I add 1/2 tsp of lactic acid. I'll check out your water link!

That's really not a bad idea for cold weather! Although, I try to do as little work as possible :), and bringing a hot kettle with almost 8 gals + grain inside does pose a little more chance of a spill. After the boil I bring it in, but at that time it's just under 6 gals and the grain and...

I use BIAB outdoors on my apt patio (not even in a garage). I'm in Minnesota, and the outdoor temps were mid-30's (which was warm for January!). I do wrap my kettle with a Columbia winter coat during mash, but I think maybe that's why my temps are dropping a bit this time. Thanks everyone for...

US-05 in both

I just kegged a couple of 5.5G batches of APAs. They both use the same grain bills, but in one I used Cascade hops, and the other, Mosaic. Here's the grain bill (all organic btw): 9.5 lbs 2-row 8oz Crystal 60L 8oz Crystal 120L 4oz Cara-Pils Beersmith predicts OG 1.052, FG 1.011...

Me too...

Pick me!

I kegged this at a very dry 1.0015! That was drier than the recipe predicted. It was good, but next time I'll brew a saison or something like it, not this recipe. I agree with the comments about strength and aging, but my point is about being able to rouse yeast in the bottle, which you can't do...

Well, I finally kegged this at 1.012. Can't complain too much about that. Lesson learned is that this yeast WLP090 is a bit touchy. The day before I brewed this I was in a class at Northern Brewer listening to Neva from White Labs talk about yeast. I asked her about WLP090 and she said that...

peri', I mashed at 152. Just checked (6/24) and it's now at 1.013. Lock still slowly bubbling (once a min). I think I'll rouse again and see if I can get another point or two lower and call it done in a day or two. Thanks for the input!

Not a refractometer, but I am using a new more accurate hydrometer. It was $20 and marked from .0980 to 1.020.

Here's the grain bill (5.5G batch) 8 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row), Rahr (1.9 SRM) 78.2% 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 15L (15.0 SRM) 6.9% 12.0 oz Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) 6.9% 9.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) 5.2% 5.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L...

Brewed a nice APA recipe (Tiny Bottom Pale Ale - I think the creator is on this forum). Used WLP090 - I'm using a swamp cooler to keep temps in the 60's. Went from 1.052 to 1.015 in 3 days. Then the next 10 days, went from 1.015 to 1.014 only. Keeps bubbling slowly, but maybe that's just gas...

Hey all...my first posted question. Have had a million others answered just by reading other posts. I'm on my 9th batch...got a kegging system a few batches ago and I love it. I've also done BIAB the last 3 batches, and that's worked out well. So I've got a Farmhouse Biere de Table in...
