    Trappist High Gravity yeast for MWS Noble Trappist kit

    I brewed Midwest Supplies Noble Trappist all-grain kit a week and a half ago, pitching a starter of Wyeast 3787 into oxygenated wort at 1.058 OG. Sample from yesterday showed SG at 1.012, within finishing range, but there is still yeast in suspension and a bit floating on top (so I know it's...

    Midwest Honey Porter help!

    I just bottled my 8th batch, the all-grain Honey Porter kit from MWS. I followed the direction precisely for mash temps and hop additions, which included 1oz of Kent Goldings at 60min and 1oz of Cascade at 2min. OG was within range, oxygenated with pure O2, pitched a starter of Wyeast 1968...

    Wyeast 3944 Belgian Wit - Over attenuation?

    Does anyone have any experience with Wyeast 3944 Belgian Wit attenuating way more than it is supposed to? The Wyeast website says attenuation should be between 72-76%. However, a batch of Belgian Wit I did (Midwest Supplies Grand Cru extract kit) went from 1.070 to 1.009 over 3.5 weeks...

    All grain kits from Midwest Supplies?

    Does anyone know if the all grain kits from Midwest come with the base malts separated from the specialty grains, or are they all mixed together? I know someone who bought some all grain kits from Midwest, but isn't setup to brew them. I'm not set up for all grain either, so I'd like to...

    Extract batch with 2-Row in grain bill?

    I made an extract batch this last weekend from a recipe I found that included a pound of 2-row malt along with a pound of specialty grains (crystal 15L). The instructions said to steep the grains for 45 mins at 149F in 3 quarts of water. Thinking this was just another specialty grain steep...

    First batch - Weeks 3-4 in primary goes from awesome to bad

    This is my first batch, an English IPA kit from a LHBS. I did a lot of research here before brewing and decided to go with a four week primary, no secondary. I waited three weeks before opening up the fermentation bucket to take a sample for a gravity reading. It hit the target FG reading...

    Coriander seed in boil - dump into primary?

    I just did my third brew, the Grand Cru kit from Midwest supplies. This was my first time using spices in a batch. When it came time to dump the wort into the primary, I left as much of the solids in the boil kettle as possible, like I had done for my first two batches (IPAs). Now, I'm...
