I have no problem repitching yeast but doesnt that fluctuation seem like it would produce alot of off flavors?

Hi. Brewed a batch of Blueberry Wit 2 weeks ago. I usually run the temp controller and aquarium heating tape to regulate fermentation but i didnt have it set up properly. I recently switched to the stainless steel bucket conical style and set it in front of a spot heater in my basement. Ive beem...

Stopped by the local HBS store and grabbed 1lb LME abd one POUND corn sugar. Im boiling anout half gallon in water and 8 got some extra cascades to dry hop with later on. Ill let everybody know how it goes.

Mainer I might go that route. Just boil it up for a few mins cool and add into fermenter or should I mix into a secondary like bottleing?

It tastes pretty good actually, I just hate the idea of serving a 3.4 abv homebrew... I'm open to suggestions for upping the alcohol.How does the white sugar work or affect the flavor

yeah I could. time is of the essence here thou, so to be completely honest I'm looking for a quicker fix. If dumped some, blended it with some LME or DME, maybe half a gallon or a full with a repitch vs a whole 5 hour all grain session

I guess my next question would be what is the side effect of the gravity staying there? just sweeter tasting? I need to up the Alcohol at least at this point then.

Gotcha, thought of the DME, is that going to add a lot of offtaste or what you think

If I boiled up a few quarts of DME for 20 mins or so cooled and threw it in with some fresh yeast would that help or just stick with the repitch

I mashed pretty high 158 down to 155 after the hour

Sorry I pitched at 70, and Ive maintained it between 68 and 72. I did not do a starter but honestly I've only made a few starters, and only for highergravity beers and never had a problem. I guess my question is based on the grain bill, and where the gravity is at now there has to be extra...

Don't jump all at once to help guys! I'm thinking about picking up some DME or LME boiling like half a gallon and pitching it with some new yeast and add it to the batch. Thoughts?

Hey guys, haven't been on in awhile had some kids, just getting back into brewing. made my first all-grain batch in like 2 1/2 years three weeks ago. 5lbs maris otter, 3 lbs Viecnna malt, 2 lbs munich malt, 1 lb crystal 20, 1 lb crystal 60, 1 lb carapills.. Overshot the amount of collected...

Im trying to convert this mini fridge to a kegerator but it has a freezerbox on the top. It has a removabke tray but two lines are attached. I assume this is some form of coolent lines. I will include pictures. Im looking for help to see if i can make this work.

I posted a blueberry wit recipe on here somewhere. If you look under my started threads its in there. Not exactly a blue moon clone but its one of my favorite beers i make and is enjoyed by all.

Not sealed just wrapped in one of those bulk grain bags

It was bier munchers centennial blonde ale. I wanted to stock up on some Full kegs of a bunch of different styles including his blonde, before my son was born in June . Problem was he came a little early in the third week of may so I never got to brewing the blonde. Been super busy since then...
