well, they say 1214 is a banana bomb over 70f, so i welcome the increased temp. just wanted to make sure this was normal. thanks for the feedback everyone!

i have a belgian that is in the active stage of fermentation. its started a 70f. but now 3 days later, it says 77f on the temp strip, but my empty glass carboy and another plastice fermenter that has beer ready to bottle both say 72f. all three container on the same shelf. so does the...

so far, i have found that i get more responses from the beginners forum.

my 3rd batch (a hefewiezin) seemed bad to me. so i gave it to both my sisters (who dont mind crap beer) and they thought it was good. but it taste like garbage to me.

ive noticed that alot of belgians are supposed to be served at around 55f. does this serving temp apply only to certain belgian styles, or is this a serving recommendation that applies to high gravity beers?

i read a whole book where that was mentioned hundreds of time, but not the acronym.

yeah, thanks for the help with that.

i knew i shoulda posted this in the beginners forum

not yet, its only at the 24 hr mark, i just hope i wake up to see some airlock action already!

i wonder just how hard you cant beat the smack pack before the whole thing explodes. i felt like i was really hammering the damn thing, anyone know just how much force the container can handle?

for real! the packet was already a bit swollen during my many attempts to pop it, i was beating the hell out of this thing and thought i popped it, it even started swelling alot while it was sitting on the counter during the boil. i guess it was hard to tell since it was swollen already.

the packet was also 3 months old, about how long do you think im looking at?

so i just finished brewing my newest batch, i thought i had popped the inner yeast packet, but upon pitching i found the the inner yeast packet had not been popped, so i went ahead a cut the inner packet open and pitched it directly into the wort. so what should i expect now? a longer...
