I racked to secondary (glass carboy) so I added the nibs loose. Will they sink to the bottom or stay afloat? Will I have siphoning issues when bottling? Thanks.

Rose hips, rose water, or both!

Oh, thanks. I get so addicted to the forum that I forget about google. Just bought an app for my phone. Thanks.

Yooper, can you tell me how/what tools you used to get 5.4%? I'd like to get that. Thanks.

Awesome, I'm really looking forward to this one. Thanks for the help.

I'm making a milk chocolate cherry stout and plan on leavin the beer sit on the nibs in the secondary for another two weeks. I've read that two weeks is a good amount of time. Hope that helps.

Okay, so I'm looking at a low abv beer? And I shouldn't worry about off flavored or is it something else I should expect? Thanks so much.

So, do you gals/guys think I pkg of yeast is enough? Thanks.

And yeah, need to start doing starter. Will learn how to and apply for next batch. Thanks.

Hey, thanks. That was my biggest concern. I was just hoping that I don't get off flavored and I meet my FG. OG was 1.066 and reading 3 days ago was 1.025. Waiting and...

Plan to rack to secondary on 4oz nibs.

Has been in primary 1 week. Thanks.

Original recipe: 1lb 120 crystal malt 5oz roasted barley 2oz black patent 6.6lbs dark LME 2oz cluster hops 1pkg wyeast 1084 Added: 8oz chocolate malt 4oz lactose 5lbs red tart cherries. Is original amount of yeast good? Thanks.

Yeah, I've read that it is evident in some Sam smith beers. Do you know of any commercial brews that would have that taste. I have a ton of people who want to try my first brew and if I can say "oh, it's a English bitter like..." It would be better. Not to lie but for frame of reference...

I agree, after reading this forum and other material I think I racked too soon thereby not giving the yeast enough time to eat up that discetyl. I was hoping there was something I could do but I don't think there is, outside of drinking it with popcorn or lobster.

Thanks for all the input. I do have a hydrometer I just forgot to take a reading before racking. Now I write down everything I do before brew day and stick to the plan. I had a pretty successful second brew day and can't wait for my milk chocolate cherry stout. Thanks!

You're right, I was too impatient. So focused on that airlock. Anyway, brewed second batch and i am letting it do its thing and waiting it out. Hopefully first batch will taste a little better over time.
