That's what mine looked like after the first time :D

Any suggestions?

Aside from reusing vials where do you guys get the others from?

The volumes are something I've been having issues with. I usually put .5g to trub in the boil pot and .2g in the fermenter, but with the amount of hops in this batch I assumed there would be more. I haven't been able to nail a boil off rate. Hopefully someone can help me plug these...

This will be my first IIPA I'm going to make a 4L yeast starter with WLP001 The Special B is there for the orangish color and I do like caramel notes I selected the hops based on what I have on hand, but I'm open to suggestions. I would prefer to burn through what I have first though. I'll dry...

Just wondering if anyone could give me the adverse effects of downsizing the containers of my harvested yeast? Currently I move the yeast into a 1gallon jug, let it sit and then pour off into 12oz mason jars. The more I harvest, the less room I have obviously. Is there anything wrong with...

I did some searching and couldn't find concrete answers. I'm brewing a 10g saison now. OG was 5.0 and I pitched 2 vials of 565 @ 67 deg. It fermented for 4 days at 74-76. On day 5, I put in 2lb of Wildflower honey and a smack pack of 3711. It's been 10 days, and I plan to give it 21 days...

I went with two vials of 565 in a 10g batch for the first 4 days. When it slowed, I tossed in 2lb of honey and some 3711 and it has been going crazy for the next 4 days. I'm curious to see how it turns out, I'll post when it finishes. I'm going to give it 14 days in primary then split the...

$7.99 at my LHBS for 1lb of DME :drunk: How would honey compare to DME?

At $16 worth of DME, it costs more than the original batch to fix the problem...might be worth it to just redo it and hit the numbers :(

Just wondering if this would work... I don't have a chamber to ferment in, so I've been doing it in my garage. I keep it wrapped in blankets and it's about 76ish each day outside. If I got a large tupperware tub from walmart, filled it with water and dropped this in, setting it to 87ish, would...

I did an all grain and sampled the OG 3 seperate times from the transfer. I ended up with almost 2 gallons of extra wort post boil. I had my Equipment profile set to my usual 10 gallon batch and changed it to 5 for this test batch I wanted to do... (i.e. I didn't click "Scale recipe" I just...

I missed the OG on my Cream Ale, which was supposed to be .047 and was .032. This was due to bad calculation in Beer Smith which I'm still figuring out. Thankfully I found the problem and it won't happen again. I was going back on forth about adding honey in the primary, but now I'm...

How does this look, it's my first attempt at one of these. I went with a little extra cara to give it a good mouth feel. I wanted to put some honey malt in, but anything over 8oz just barfed up the color profile. Planning on a 150deg 90 minute mash.

Got it. Other than that and last minute tips, how does the recipe look?

Good information to know, I had no idea. I went ahead and dropped in just under 3lbs of local wildflower honey. Hopefully it'll be fine. I peeked in and there is a really good krausen layer on top. I guess I'll know in two weeks :cross:

Better? I've never worked with sugar, but it seems to up my ABV and not the OG, so my sliders are off. Also, do I add it flameout?

Thanks, just curious though. by the standard the style should have a "very pronounced mouth feel" I though carapils was the way to do that. What about caravienne? Or can I just achieve that through carbonation. I'm kegging I'll also take your advice go with the simple sugars too.

Here is my recipe. Initial mash at 148 for 75min two step batch sparge at 154. Will probably ferment in the low 70s to bring out some esters. (Still pretty new but trying to get inline with the lingo and the little details)

THe LHBS only had one package of 3711 left, so I went for it, even though its a 10g batch. I figured that since it's been in primary for 4 days and the OG was only .050, it should be plenty to chew through the remainder. I held off on the honey however. I had a good feeling about the original...
