Great pics! I am still making apfelwein and you are my hero

I would prime with a bit of corn sugar naturally carbonate in that position.

I brewed my interpretation of Yoopers pale ale https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/da-yoopers-house-pale-ale.100304/ Unfortunately, I didn't brew it the way I normally do. Our neighbor had health issues that left some other responsibilities. I should have known better, there was literally...

Ha! That's so true. If one thing goes wrong, things just seem to keep rolling down hill.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Thank you for that feedback. Something like a smoker starting out hot and coming under control reasonably is not going to affect the brisket meaningfully. I didn't actually measure my OG. Based on my process' historical performance against this...

There's nothing I can do but wait a month and see how it tastes in a glass... Of course I could post in the beginners forum and see if anyone who has made the same mistake might tell me how it turned out for them. :)

PM sent for #6

Will be starting another batch ASAP. This stuff is perfect for sitting next to the barbecue on a beautiful day don't think I'll be taking it on the boat much, it's powerful. I may need a nap this afternoon

Kegged today. FG was 1.001 according to my hydrometer. Sample definitely tasted dry. I used 5 cups sugar on the backsweeten... Otherwise staying true to the recipe in post #2. Filled a 5 gallon keg and a 2.5 gallon keg nearly perfect.

Let me know how it turns out please. I made my first batch according to the recipe on page one. I have high hopes. I hope to do more batches and experiment a bit.

I think I will try WLP 001 for at least a couple more beers. I am dry hopping this one. So I want to do a blonde ale for slurry harvest. Need to expand my horizons beyond Nottingham.

14 hours after pitch - vigorous airlock activity. At least 2 bubbles/sec. Definitely glad I didn't chicken out and pitch a sachet of dry at this point. pitched at 73 degrees and set temp to 69 degrees (-0/+2). Since it was going so crazy, I adjusted to 68 degrees (-0/+2). Edit after a cup...

Have you had trouble with attenuation?

I am sure you are no doubt correct and especially within the context of the pack arriving swollen. But I cannot go back in time...

Negative on the starter

Would you use a you a yeast pack that delivered swollen? I don't have to, I have Nottingham and S05 in the fridge. Decided to try liquid you yeast for the first time on an estimated 1.07 OG beer. The yeast pack delivered Friday and was already swollen. I should probably have known better...

Bread yeast sold in jars seems to do fine with being dispensed via teaspoon and cupboard storage.

That's exactly what I paid for my sub compact fridge

I can ladle yeast out of my 7.6 gallon kegmenter easily and I am glad I bought it. I would consider a nice conical if the wife were to allocate a room in the house for a brewery build - I would do that as a functional decoration - which is how I think of them for my purposes. As it is - I am...
