Thanks everyone! I wasn't aware of that really. My bad I guess. Next time I know! :)

Hey, So I did a coopers kit with some added hops. Boiled some DME 3lb and did the hop additions. Then added the coopers kit and racked. I have a refractometer and at that time I tested the OG. It was 1035, which is a little lower than I thought it would be. But either way I pitched my yeast...

One thing I am thinking about now is when I steeped the specialty grains for this kit. I screwed up and steeped it in only one gallon of water. I meant to put at least two gallons in for the boil. I'm assuming that maybe that had something to do with my problem??

This was not a full boil. I topped it off at the end with water.

No, I used a hydrometer. Right now the temp is 68 degrees.

I brewed the Northern Brewer Chocolate milk stout Extract with Specialty grains, followed the instructions and got an original gravity of 1048, a little low(don't know why). So it fermented well the first week with the Wyeast 1332 Northwest ale (i made a starter). After about a week and a half i...

Ok, made a noob mistake here. I used priming sugar AND carbed my beer by shaking it with the CO2 pressure. Dumb, i know. So, now i have over carbed beer. I pulled it oof CO2 and released the pressure off the keg over the last day. Question is.....what do i do next? Do i let it sit? Thanks

Here you go, what do you think. To me? As a noob? it looks like it did something right?

It's been since Sunday evening. So we're talking about 4 days. I'll check my SG. Thank u for the help.

So far, I do not have bubbling in the air lock. Should I open it up and check it out? What happens if it killed the yeast? Thanks for your help!!

Well, honestly i'm not totally sure. The temp on my fermenter bucket goes up to 78 and it was higher than that because it was not showing a reading.

New brewer here, what happens if you pitch the yeast at a temperature that is too warm? I think i may have done this in my latest batch and i'm a little concerned. Just not sure. Thanks in advance!
