I have made this recipe with both Safeale-05 and WhiteLabs cream ale yeast. The grain bill/recipe was exactly the same, save for the yeast. The WhiteLabs one has a noticeable cleaner taste, even during the fermentation process. However, it does take longer than the 05 dry yeast, so plan...

I remember seeing someone post pictures of the little yeast stalagmites... That was weird... kinda started looking like the eagle nebula

Interresting.. It's winter...so I have my my 2 carboys in my 38DD Mother of a fermentation chamber...and they're wrapped in an electric blanket (cuz my old ass house is cold).... I have a carboy with 5gal of a Raspberry wheat I made...and the 2nd has the Dog Slobber version of C3Cs.... I...

Easiest way to do it, is divide in half, then multiply by three. The original post is for essentially 10 gallons bottled or kegged... so divide in half (10/2=5), then multiply by 3 (cuz 5*3=15)... If you wanna use a program like beersmith/promash/wahtever, you can do that automagically...

I actually kicked around the name "Dog Slobber," or some derivative with the word "cream ale." When buying the ingredients, I purchased enough of everything for 11.5 batches accidentally. I bought 6lbs 2-row, but the 11.5gal amounts of corn, rice, and hops. When I had my flask replaced, i...

And while trying to make a starter for this, my Erlenmeyer flask cracked when I put it in the ice water bath. I took it to the LHBS and showed them the cracks along with the store printed directions stating to boil the wort in the flask, and then put it in a cold water bath. They replaced the...

****. This is turning into the Murphy's Law brew day. SWMBO just turned into SWMBS (the is stands for slapped). The wife left the garage door open...the dog went into the garage, and knocked the tube from the MT to the brew kettle out... That little ****er (80 lbs of little ****er) climbed...

Well, I started the mash, and forgot to start a timer (too busy reading forums). I realized it about 15-20 minutes later...and just decided to set the timer for 60m. When the time was up, started the vorlauf and fly sparge... Stuck. Like... stuck. It's a problem i've had 2 times before. I'm...

Hello all. I've talked to some people who brewed this, and they all love it (mainly because SWMBO loves it). I don't have any special occasion for brewing this, except it's winter, and not raining. This will be my 4th AG brew, and from what it sounds like, will definitely be a staple in my...

No. I used a hydrometer, and i've done about 7 other batches (all extract), using the same equipment. I've never noticed any discrepancies with OG/FG readings. I have some friends who just bought refractometers. I'l check out borrowing one of theirs. As for this point, the first and only...

Not sure if this is an all-grain, or fermentation forum question... I tried my first all grain brew a few weeks ago. I was using the Atonement Brown Porter AG recipe... I used a braided hose style mash tun... When I was done, my OG was just a bit below the recipe OG. Once I cooled my...

Would you suggest adding more yeast and/or sugar (corn, table, etc) to kick the fermentation off again in the secondary?

The kit I bought does not have instructions or ingredients for dry hopping. I know dry hopping is how IPAs came into existence...but...I think this kit is for newbies like me. The kit came with 3 separate foil packs of hop pellets: 1 oz Magnum (Bittering, Boiled for 60 minutes) 2 oz British...

Hello all. I started home brewing about 3 weeks ago. I started off with an Irish Red Ale. Before I started doing anything, I read as much as I could on many forums. So...I put the Red into the carboy, and let it sit for 2 weeks. Took a gravity reading 3 times over 8 days. It was stable. I...
