I did it in a graduate with a hydrometer. Im guessing I took my sample from it too early before it could all settle in. My OG im guessing wouldve been around 1.050. It is fermenting fine and lloks great. It has a nice orangey color that a witbier has. I didnt add any pilsner malt tho. I see...

Ya i didnt let it sit very long before taki g a sample. Shouldve been somewhere arou d 1.050. It is fermenting well so im not worried.

Not sure what happened with this one. My OG was 1.020. Idk.

Well, I really love sam adams white lantern so i want to make my own. Heres the batch i have planned for this weekend. 3lbs bavarian wheat DME 3lbs golden light LME 1 oz Saaz hops (wanted bc goldings but store had 0) 60 min boil 1 oz coriander last 5 mins 1 oz bitter orange peel last 5...

After almost 2 weeks, checked my gravity with no change. Had to dump it.

Dont shoot down the pick axe. I think its great. I enjoy the fact that it has very little hop addition and I think it tastes great! Craft beer is exactly what it is. A craft. If you dont like it, dont drink it I guess.

Will it still ferment right though?

I did notice that it is fermenting, just very slowly. I did add another packet of Munich dry yeast to the top. Im guessing it had potassium sorbate in it, but I will let it ferment out and see what happens. I believe that my OG was high because for some reason the apple cider and my wort were...

I decided to repitch yeast and it is fermenting just extremely slow, like 1 bubble every 30 seconds. O well, im gonna let it go and see what happens. Im wondering if the apple cider has anything to do with it.

Ya, still no fermentation going on. Im pretty sure this batch is screwed. I goi g to dump it and start a new one. Idk what happened. Nothing is rolling around in my carboy like it should be. There is no fermenting whatsoever. Could i re pitch yeast into it?

Ok i will hold tight and hope its still good!!!!:o

My OG last night was 1.054 and now its 1.064!!?? Idk!!!!

My main concern is that my yeast has worn out from too much air being introduced with the airlock empty. Idk, is that possible??

It looks like its starting to bubble but looks like fermenting is done. No krausen on top.

So, last night I made a batch of Graf wih Bavarian wheat DME and LME. After I got done wih my 5 gallon batch I pitched my yeast ,Munich, and went to bed. When I went to check on it this morning, it looks like my airlock emptied out to where air could get back in. I had an O **** moment and...

When i made the batch i added a little too much water. The alcohol content was 3%, box says 4%. I dont think i messed anything up. There is just very little carbonation. I have a raspberry lemon wheat that is ready to bottle. I will try that on, its 8.2% alcohol.

My alcohol content is about 3% for the batch. My beer is at 70 or above. Guess I just need some more patience.

So, my first batch of beer is an american light kit that I added a pound of honey to. I bottled it 10 days ago and i figured i would try and crack one open to see how its doing. When I opened it it has very very little carbonation. Is it too esrly or did I mess up somewhere? I added 4 oz. Of...

Thanks for the info. I did notice that my beer is still fermenting so im pretty thrilled. Just have to wait at least 2 weeks now before bottling. Going to make a batch of wheat beer next. Possibly add some orange zest. Idk any suggestions?

Well i checked this morning and it is still bubbling out the airlock. It seems a lot darker though. The brew was a lot more straw colored before. Maybe its jsut my lighting. Idk. It has been in my primary for a week today so maybe just a day early. Any ideas why it would look darker? Its...
