Hey guys, I brewed an apricot blonde for my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago, it fermented quickly in about 2 days at around 70F. I pitched the yeast at 80, the same temp as the starter, so I dont think I stressed the yeast too much. Anyway it was fine when I racked it out of the primary into...

You should see the normal signs of fermentation. You may not get as much krausen with a lager, but you will still get one. Also, in my experience with lagers, they sometimes take a little longer to start, so dont be worried if you dont see activity as quickly as an ale. The most obvious sign...

I'm planning on making a cider once my pumpkin ale is finished clearing in the next couple days. I was wondering if I can use the yeast cake from the secondary fermentor that my pumpkin ale was in. There is probably about 1/2"-3/4" of trub at the bottom. I'm curious whether there is going to...

Hello all, I brewed Yuri's extract version of the Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale a few weeks ago, it is currently finishing up its second week in the secondary. it tastes and smells great, the OG/FG were right on (from what beer calculus said they should be), and there were no unusual sanitation...

I was thinking about racking it to the secondary as well, but was wary since it is apparently fermenting again. Could this cause any unwanted side-effects?

Will leaving it in there for almost a month and a half cause some off flavors to form from the yeast?

Hi all, I'm brewing a nut brown ale, and it has been in primary for ten days now. I planned on bottling tomorrow (its the last day I can since I'm leaving the country for a month on Weds), but it seems like the fermentation has restarted. The initial fermentation only went for about 2...
