excellent. thank you for your help.

I believe i under pitched. I made a yeast starter, it was my first. It went well but I made a mistake at picthing. I just poured in the top liquid. I didn't shake it before hand so the cake never made it into the wort.

sorry this was partial grain

I haven't done anything yet. I hadn't taken a reading until today before bottling. because I've never had this issue before.

I have had the same issue with hose clamps recently. Last batch I made sure to tighten them beforehand and everything was fine. But it seems much better to make sure the thing is bombproof so it is one less thing to worry about.

Hey guys, I'm new to HBT. I've been dabbling with the Mr. beer kit for years. I've recently started brewing 5 gallon batches of the True Brew kits. I was never happy with the Mr. Beer results but my first batch of True Brew Red Ale came out great! I'll be bottling the Irish stout this...

Hey, I just brewed a True Brew Ale kit and it's definitely on the right track. You will need to add some roasted barley to it to make it an Irish Red though.
