Thanks guys. I have all intentions on 3-4 weeks of fermentation....just didnt expect the bubbles to stop after 1 day. This is a 5 gallon batch. I used 2 vials of white labs london ale yeast.

Due to the coffee bean oils, I read that there really won't be any kraeusen. I took a quick peak and there is a think layer on top.

I brewed a batch of Jasper's I eat Danger for Breakfast Stout on Sunday. Pitched two new vials of yeast. I had vigorous bubbling all day Monday but no bubbles on Tuesday or today. I missed the OG a bit and ended up at 1.072 Am I OK? Do I need to add more yeast? Is this typical for this recipe?

I brewed Jaspers extract version of this on Sunday. I pitched 2 vials of yeast and by Monday morning it was bubbling. By Tuesday night it was done. This seems too early to stop bubbling.... Any thoughts? OG Gravity only made it to 1.072

Ommegang Hennepin clone. SG 1.070 Gravity as of 5/4 1.008 Hope to bottle tomorrow night.

UPDATE: After 5 days of dry hopping, I was still at a FG of 1.012 at day 25. Tried it last night and I thought it was very good. Decided to leave the dry hops in for 2 more days. I will plan on bottling this Friday (Day 27 overall).

My OG was 1.071 on 2/8/14 FG was at 1.012 on 2/28/14 when I added the dry hops Hoping to bottle this Weds, Thurs, or Friday (I pitched 2 vials of WLP001 originally)

I know how you feel! I am brewing the Pliny the Elder clone IIPA... and as of this morning (day 17), I still heard some burping going on. Hoping to be able to start dry hopping this weekend.

I am currently on day 12 of fermentation. My plan is to dry hop this weekend for 7 days. Should I dry hop in my primary or move to a secondary and dry hop in there?

Allagash White for me.

Brewing 5 gallons of a Pliny the Elder clone. 40 minutes into the boil right now.

When adding several different hops at various times... Do you leave all of them in for the entire boil and add at different intervals or when you add the next one, do you remove the last one?

I am currently in the process of brewing a Pliny extract clone from MoreBeer. When I add the different hops at the different intervals... Do I remove the hops that were added first or do I keep them in for the entire boil...and just keep adding the additional hops? Thanks! Scott

I expect when ordering from an online company that if they allow you to put an item in the cart and proceed to checkout that they have the item 'in stock'. Not to get an email 3 days later, stating they are out of stock. I completely agree about buying local. I just found out that our first...

Similar issue here. Ordered a Belgian White extract from them last weekend. I received an email yesterday that they are out of wheat DME. So much for brewing this Saturday....

Looks great! What did you brew for your first batch?

Yes, I did both.

I just ordered the AHS Belgian White Beer that should be here later this week to start in my primary. I will leave the Stout for another 2 weeks in the secondary and then bottle. I am guessing I will leave the Belgian White in the primary for 3-4 weeks. Thanks for all the help so far!

I steeped the grains for 30 minutes…as the recipe stated. I am happy with the taste so far…was just hoping it would be darker as some of the reviews said. First batch for me…so as long as it comes out tasting like some type of beer….I will be happy!

Newbie brewer here… My first brew is 5 gallons of Midwest Irish Stout. According to the reviews on the Midwest site…they say it comes out close to a Guiness. I am finding it to be closer to a Newcastle (more of a nut brown color/taste). Any ideas? I followed the directions precisely...
