Ya, gravity reading is still 1.049...........I know it will eventually turn into beer but since this is my 3 batch ever, I am just Overly concern about having 5 gals of sub-par beer !

Well I guess I am screwed unless i can find a LHBS open on new years day. But by then i will be too late ? Wednesday will probably the earliest i can buy a bunch of lager yeast packets

I could move it to 50F if it will help the yeast get started but i thought the slightly warmer temp might help the short term start up. Will wednesday be to late to pitch additional yeast, but a starter will take me days longer ? I really had no idea how bad my yeast count was. I should of...

I brewed a Brewers Best Vienna Lager (trying as a lager without lagering) and pitched the White labs Liquid Yeast WLP830 (without starter) at 62F and is sitting at 53F for 60hrs and no signs of fermentation. No bubbles,no krausen, just stillness. I know I under pitched but now the LHBS is...

Thanks Guys for your responses. I know i under pitched but didn't know that i was that far off. 5% is a joke. At this point I could : A) Just wait and see approach, hope it takes off and in the right direction B) Go to LHBS on Monday and get the same yeast to make a starter, but...

E-Mursed, Since this is a cross country move, we will have a moving company and fly, not drive to our new house. I don't think moving 2 cases of beer in a semi-truck will be good idea. My thinking is that I need to consume before March 1. Is that just cutting it way to close ? How do...

Ok, story is too long, but I brewed last night an almost 2 yr old B.B. Vienna Lager with new hops and White Labs WLP830. This is my 3rd batch ever and told the LHBS that I couldn't properly lager and need to brew as an ale. Probably not the best yeast strain, right ? Ran out of time to do proper...

Im brewing tonight, should I pitch at 70F and try and ferment around 65-72F and treat it like an ale or colder is better with this yeast strain for pitching and fermenting even though I'm not lagering ?

Hey guys, only my 3rd batch and probably shouldn't of picked this lager since I don't have the proper setup, but too late now. I went ahead and bought white labs German yeast wlp830 for the recipe. What temperature for pitching the liquid yeast and what Temperature for fermentation ? My...

Gentlemen, I bottled the BB imperial IPA on 6-1-11. It has been sitting in my basement ,at about 65 degrees, for about a month. I refrigerated a bottle last night and sampled it today. It's carbonation was pretty weak and it still needs time. My first batch, the BB Belgian, Didn't carb up that...

Guys, I was moving to fast ( kids woke up unexpectedly ) on bottling day and accidentally mixed the starsan that I had in the Siphon cane/tubing with the priming sugar. The tube was pretty full of starsan but I did dilute it according to directions. Could this have any adverse affects on my...

Guys, My 9 oz paintball tank was full and I checked it for leaks.....nothing. The pressure was never an issue, the flow would rise and drop according to How much pressure I regulated. If the bells 5l is already carbed, and the co2 is flowing properly, why would it lose it's carbing so...

Ca miller....... I verified I have a full tank and I did the soap bubbles test to see if there were any leaks In the line. Nothing. Tried different bungs too. With the psi @ about 10-12. Why would I get pressure enough to pour but not to carbonate ? It never empties my co2 tank......just...

Hello all....new to home brewing but falling deeper in love everyday. A year ago my wife bought me the Edgestar 5l mini keg system. The co2 cartridges did not work so i bought a co2 adapter to fit their regulator to my tank. Since I have a week before I bottle my Belgian triple, I thought...
