This stout has been fermenting for over a month. Tried to rouse the yeast and bring the temperature up from ~63F to ~70F, and am not seeing any decrease in specific gravity. Any suggestions? OG was 1.075 and FG is sitting at 1.026. this gives an apparent attenuation of 64% which seems really low...

Hey guys, I've been searching for a LSW clone with no luck. I've found tons on little Sumpin and relistened to Jamils CYBI episode. I was wondering if anyone knew if there are any differences in grist/hops between little Sumpin and LSW. Or is it basically the same with Westmalle yeast...

Hello people! I am currently brewing an english mild that is a little over 24 hrs. into fermentation. I'm brewing an oatmeal stout tomorrow, and would like to harvest some of the 1968 from the mild tonight to pitch tomorrow. I currently have a blowoff tube rigged (3/16) to the fermenter...

Hey guys I just formulated my first oatmeal stout recipe and am getting pretty excited about the whole thing. I wanted to get some honest opinions about the recipe so check it out! What would you do different and why? Does the marris otter work here? I wanted to add a little more body/...

Hey guys, My lady recently got me a kegging setup which of course caused me to be super pumped. My landlord wants me to have a beer ready for his Super Bowl party, so I brewed a pale ale yesterday. I plan on force carbing the beer, but I don't have a way to chill it. I don't have the money to...

Hey guys, I made this recipe tonight, and am going to grab the ingredients tomorrow for brewday. Trying to go from grain to glass within 2 weeks, so I kept the OG low at 1.047. I've been wanting to try using biscuit malt in my recipe so I'm starting with half a pound for six gallons. Would...

Hey guys, I plan on bottling my patersbier tonight that has been in the primary for 13 days. I used wyeast 3787 High Grav. Trappist yeast, and an explosive fermentation took off and lasted about 3 days. Most of the krausen has fallen to the bottom of the carboy, but there is still a small...

Hey all, I brewed an all-grain Ginger wheat last night, and ended up dumping the entire contents of the brew kettle into the fermenter (hops, trub, ginger, etc.). I poured two jars of washed Wyeast 1056 in and placed the fermenter in a swamp cooler which I have kept at about 70 F. It's been...

Hey guys, I just found out that I don't have to go to work today! This is great because I have a batch of ginger wheat in the works that I can brew today. Problem is that I plan on using washed 1056, which I haven't made a starter for yet. I washed the yeast a week ago, and it has been in...

Ey guys I'm bottling tonight and am seeing a few light specs on the top I the beer. It's a pale ale fermented around 65 with wyeast 1084, but I took it out of the fermentation chamber after I racked to secondary where temps rose I about 75 degrees. I just carried the beer upstairs so it's a...

Hey guys I have 2 beers on their second day of fermentation fermenting in the fridge, and I noticed that the temp had gotten down to 48 F!! I opened the door and kept the temp around 65 after that. Will the yeast continue to ferment? Or are they going to be stuck in dormancy? Thanks!

Hey guys I just finished up a 10 gal batch of pale ale, and my landlord said that I could use his outdoor fridge for fermentation. I cleaned it out and took the shelves out. I also unplugged it to heat it up (it was 34F degrees in there). After the brew sesh, I put both fermeters in the...

Hey everyone, I recently upgraded to an all grain set up which includes a 10.5 SS kettle. I was talking to my landlord today, and he said that if I brewed 8-10 gallons of pale ale, he would knock the cost of the brew off my rent, and we would split the beer. Sounds pretty good right? I'm...

Ey guys I've been in a financial bind lately that has prevented me from brewing as much as I want. Haven't brewed In a month! I was wondering what beers you guys thought were best for brewing in a financial bind. Thanks!

I recently bottled my cider which ha fermented and aged for about 3 months. The fg was 1.000 and I didn't back sweeten. Is it still necessary to pasteurize even though the SG is equal to that of h2o? I did a quick search in the topic, but didn't find much. Noob alert! Thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I washed some wyeast 1084 about 4 weeks ago and stored the yeast in the fridge up until yesterday. I decided that it would be a good idea to make a starter to check if the yeasties are still viable. I used 2 cups of water to 1/4 cup Light DME. I cooled the mini wort and...

Hey guys, I brewed a hoppy red ale on Tuesday and pitched some washed wyeast 1084 into it that evening. I had an og of 1.070 and went ahead and put a blowoff tube on the fermenting bucket in case I had a huge krausen. I did not see any fermentation bubbles, and later realized that the seal...
