Thanks for the replies! Looks like I'll just bottle and see how it goes.

It was this recipe. And just to clarify. I should re-pitch and wait for a few days and then carbonate?

Hi all, Due to getting married, moving, honeymooning, and plain putting it off I've allowed my beer to sit in my primary for about 5 months now. Are there any negative effects this will have and should I do anything before I bottle and carbonate? Thanks!

I did an extract and I did indeed aerate. And yes it was a liquid yeast. As far as re-pitching with a starter would I just go ahead and make a regular starter like I would on brew day and pour it in? Would I want to aerate again? Thanks for the help guys!

Wyeast 1338. As this is only my 2nd batch I don't really have any way of raising the temp short of covering it in blankets.

I made olllllo's Alaskan Amber clone on May 12 and have suffered very slow fermentation. My OG was 1.066 and when I checked it on the 24th it had only gone down to about 1.030. I gave the beer a nice swirl to see if that would get it going again but to no avail. As of 10 minutes ago the...

I did the same thing after my last batch however I just forgot to clean the bottling spigot and racking cane. I ended up just tossing them out seeing as how they're not terribly expensive. For you Jfriah's advice seems pretty solid.

Sounds like solid reasoning. So when I rack to secondary I add the honey and melon and leave it for a week or 2? Also, does 12 oz of honey sound like the right amount?

Is there a specific reason to add honey after primary fermentation vs boiling? Stronger honey taste? As for the melon itself, I'll probably do the whole melon and add to taste.

So I'd like to make a light Honeydew beer but I really don't have a lot of XP in brewing just yet. I came up with the following by looking around at other beers and fiddling with ingredients. 6 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract 1 oz Williamette 60min .5 oz Fuggles 15min 12 oz Honey 15min...

I guess I'm just impatient. It's only been 7 days so far. Thanks guys!

So I'm assuming if it's still there after the gravity has settled I can rack without worrying too much about it?

Been reading all your advice on this forum for a few months now. Just brewed my third batch last week and I am loving this hobby. Looking forward to years and years of brew!

Yes that is my question. I'm just curious as to how long it'll stay on my beer. My first 2 brews were done in a plastic bucket rather than a glass carboy so I have not yet actually had the chance to see the krausen form or die down.
