I am also a newb with about 6 brews so far, hops get boiled with your wort so your fine there if you went by the recipe schedule if not it might be a more bitter. When I do a partial mash which it sounds like you did I heat my grains to around 152-158 F for 45 min before boil. Im not sure...

This might be the time for me to get creative, I love all the recipes on this site and have used them. Im not quite ready for an AG but a partial mash is possible, im gonna do some more reserch to figure exactly what I want to do and hit yall with a recipe and updates. prob be a week before I...

Ok so my next batch I want a Mexican cerveza for summer time. I was thinking about getting a coopers can 3.3lb I think, and adding 3-4lb light dme. My questions are hops and yeast, havent seen a recipe with hops in it. I have some extra motueka and sorachi ace from my last Hefe that I think...

Thanks Revvy. Didnt think of it that way. I do need to be more patient and let it do its thing, I just got impatient and I cant see inside because I have this batch in a ferm bucket and not a carboy. I have heard of getting dead yeast even tho the best before on the yeast is 3/9 . I am still...

Ok so if I check it in morning and nothing? im getting 1 bubble every 10 sec. I know I should be patient but I dont wanna loose my chance to repitch.

Just got home from work and after 24 hours from pitching I have some tiny bit of activity :D I think I might still pitch some more tomorrow just to make sure. would that be ok to do?

No I didnt use a starter I just went by directions on vial. now you got me thinking about that OG. im almost positive thats what it was after bringing it up to 5.5 gal. man I need to not drink so much when im brewing:drunk: And my LHBS is closed on monday so im gonna have to wait till tomorrow...

lemon lime hefe tomorrow after an early day at work. 10 in expected here in Denver.:rockin:

have everything i need to brew this one on sunday, last question- should I bring it up to 5.5 gallons? before I add the limeade to make it 6 gallons total? also would you suggest a partial mash? I have the lme but also got a pound of vienna that I could add??

I'm excited to start this one, just one question Slim? should I put this one in an 8 gal ferm bucket? I have white carpets :D

So this batch sounded awesome, fermentation started slow but got moving after first day 1-2 bubbles in air lock every sec. im at end of day 5 right now and have one bubble about every 5-8 sec. should I add some nutrient or energizer to get it moving again or is it finishing??

Is this gonna save us money (home brewing) "yes love" :D
