Plenty of airlock action this morning! I guess it's ok...

Only one of the activators in my SP burst. What do I do?

I have made a few nice blondes, but was wanting to add a little something special. What do you think of adding fruit flavoring?

My daughter is getting married next year and wants me to brew a special beer to serve at her wedding. So i am looking for an amber special occasion ale to serve. Any suggestions for a mini mash recipe? I have enough time to experiment!

I have an IPA in the secondary and was wondering when I should drop in the gelatin to clear it up. Will it affect the dry hopping at all?

I'm going to try the gelatin on the blonde ale in the secondary. It's only 1week apart from my ipa so I probably won't get to see the difference for at least 3 weeks.

I haven't used any clarifying agents. I did buy some gelatin, but haven't tried it yet.

2 questions. Is it best to dry hop with a small grain bag+marbles in the bag? Or should I just dump the pellets straight into the secondary? And why does my beer look so cloudy after 2 weeks in the primary, 2 weeks in the secondary and 3 weeks in the bottle? Every batch I have brewed looks like...

I bottled this and when I checked the sg it did drop to 1.006! Tasted great too! I left it in 2ndry for 2+ weeks, so I think it kept fermenting at a slow pace. Thanks to all for their input.

I racked to 2ndary today and sg was 1.008. Still low abv, but i will leave it for 3 weeks and see what happens. Smelled and tasted great, no hint of any contamination....!!!!

I think I'm ok. OG was 1.042 and today it was 1.012. When I stirred I was very careful not to introduce O2 and I sterilized the spoon. When i opened the fermenter, everything looked fine. I'm thinking that it may have been that I used a different yeast. I have been using Danstar Nottingham, and...

I had very low action in the airlock. I did check the og and it was still on the high side. It's an Irish red ale. I did sanitize the spoon before I stirred. I will leave it in the fermenter for an extra week or 2.

It didn't look like it was fermenting

I stirred my wort after 4 days. Did I ruin it?

Wreck Em Tech!!!

Wow! This string has had over 700 views. I guess I am the only one brave enough to ask! Thanks to all for your helpM

The .5 willamette was a red clone of my first batch. I used a "beer kit add pack" instead of 3 lbs of grain......my mistake. It tasted good when we racked to secondary, but it would have been better with more grain...won't make that mistake again.....soon to be an all grain brewer! Bring on the...

Brew2it, The recipe I was referring to was an LM Ale with columbus hops. High AA's for those hops. Again, thanks for your advice. I'm learning as I go!

Ok, I bought a bomber of SN Torpedo....AWESOME!!! Tastes almost as good as my LM Ale!!! Thanks for the tip!

Dave, you are SO right! I bought bomber of Torpedo ale, and mine is very close. I can know taste all of the hop differences. Thanks for the advice!!!
