Ok thanks, I never brewed a beer with a O.G that high.

I am brewing a double IPA this weekend with a O.G 1.086. The yeast I'm using is Wyeast 1272 I'm making a starter but was wondering if I should use 2 yeast packets. Any thoughts ....?

So this is the packaging. Without opening the bag they feel a little smoochy I'm guessing that they're fine. Regardless looking forward to working with this ingredient thanks again for the advice CHEERS !!

This is a Dry Dock Pro Series clone from Northern Brewer. I brewed last Saturday and all is well, it's bubbling away. I'm not sure how " fresh " the beans are. I bought them from my LHBS - Brewers Best brand he had on the wall. If it's a dried product how fresh could the importance be?? Granted...

Thanks advice, I got the recipe from iBrewMaster2. Looking forward to this weekend I think I'm on the - more vanilla the better side. Fingers crossed [emoji482][emoji482]

I'm brewing a vanilla porter on Saturday and it calls for 1oz of vanilla beans in the secondary. I've never used them before and was wondering how most people would prep them. Chopped up?/ Spit down the middle?

Thanks for advice! Since my original post which was Friday night it's been a monster. I used WLP Belgian Wit 400 definitely a slow start but by late Saturday it kicked started and been pumping out yeast farts. Lol . Things are calming down and switched out to a regular air lock. Just hoping I...

I've used WLP 400 a few times the only big thing I could say is that is a slow starter. Be patient and keep your temps where it needs to be 65-75. Primary 3-4 weeks.

I did just hoping for the best and look for some advice!!

I brewed a white IPA today with a final gravity of 1.072. When I poured it into my 6.5g Big Mouth Bubbler fermenter I ended up with 6 gallons. I just topped it off with the yeast I had on the stir plate and it's creeping up there to the top. My question is when fermentation begins will I lose...

Thanks for the reassurance guys. Between work and two young kids feel like I've been getting a little sloppy when I'm brewing. Glad to know I'm not way off. Thanks again

I used White Labs California 001 and mashed around 152~153.

Hey so 2 weeks ago I brewed an ipa with an a o.g of 1.070. I made a yeast starter that sat for two days on a stir plate. Today I thought to rack onto my secondary and dry hop for another week or so. I took a reading and my gravity was at 1.016. I never brewed a beer in the 70's before and was...

I used to watch Brewing TV while I was brewing but that show isn't the same since the regular guys left.

With an O.G og1.052 -2 weeks works. I've just made it a habit to let it go for 3 weeks but as LLBrewer mentioned I also don't bottle.

I'll kinda jump on board with BadWolfBrewing here. I also batch sparge but my sparge temperatures are on the higher side....close to boiling. I'm in no way a technical brewer but have had no problems with O.G readings. As a matter if fact it's usually on the higher side. Give it a shot brew up a...

Chugger pump and a 30 plate chiller from Brew hardware. I dropped a bit if cash but its a step I've been meaning to make.

Here's my wood!
