Where you at on the north side? I live in the castleton area and go to Great Fermentations 5127 E 65th Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46220 www.greatfermentations.com

Thanks Revvy it could be Vegetal. When I tasted it it screamed burnt corn so thats why I thought DMS, Im just chalking it up to ingredients and inexperience. I am going to read up on other off flavors and move on. Well at least the next brew will be ready for the colts game.

Safale S-04 yeast took off within 24 hours and fermented fairly quickly. Guess I will just chalk it up as a strange happening. It is only my second batch and I did jump right in to all grain so who knows. All I know is my pale ale was excellent and the beer sitting in my primary looks great...

I was short on my volume I didn't want to top off and dilute the beer with water so I boiled DME in a 1.5 gallons of water to top off. It was a late addition so I figured maybe that was my issue.

It was just just darker than my pale ale, maybe the "red tint" is the most accurate it was just a cream ale kit from Northern brewer. I don't believe any problems occurred from the boil problems at all with the boil. Hit all my temps, gravity was in range, 3 weeks primary. Only issue I had was...

60 min boil with the lid off and I used a immersion chiller and had the wort cooled within 15 mins so I figured it had to be something with the extract. Guess I am not even sure how I got that much DMS now. It was such an overwhelming corn taste and it looked extremely off color, almost had a...

My first all grain brew was a pale ale and it was great, My second batch (cream ale) not so much. It had a massive corn taste and was way darker than it should have been. The taste was so bad I couldn't even choke down so in the drain it went. I am assuming this is the mistake I made after...

Yeast was Safale US-05 I figured I was jumping the gun. The optimum temp is 59 - 75 according to the packaging. I I did sanitize everything when checking what was going on. I moved the fermenter to cool it down to 65-70 degrees as I thought maybe I was to high and the heat vent was over it.

I brewed a batch of beer on saturday, had a nice krausen on sunday with lots of action in the airlock. I get home from work today and the krausen is clearing and there was little to no activity in the airlock. I took off the air lock and dropped in a thermometer to see the temp of the wort (73...

Yesterday I brewed my first time and I would like some constitutive feedback on how to improve for my next batch. I jumped i right to all-grain and most of the day went well. I used a kit from northern brewer, Extra pale ale kit. I had my strike water at 175 and was able to hold my temp...

Thanks, I used Teflon tape to prevent leaks between the tank and regulator so I am good there. one more question: Dry yeast - From what I read needs no started but needs to be rehydrated. Is this just boiling water letting it cool to 95 -100 degrees and adding yeast 30 mins before pitching?

After many weeks of research and reading, Next weekend I plan on brewing a batch of pale ale. I received all my equipment yesterday and put everything through the works so I would feel good about using it. As I went through all my tests have haver a couple questions. Equipment: - I am using...
