Hi everyone. I have been brewing my own beer for a few months now after moving up from Mr. Beer. My first batch came out pretty good but since then, my last 3 batches have been to sweet. It is almost like the yeast stopped early. My newest batch (still in primary) is much more controlled. I have it in a temp controlled room at 74 and used filtered water and injected o2 as well as used a starter batch of yeast. These were things I have never done on my last few batches. Could I have messed up a complete fermentation by leaving my fermenter in my garage where temps vary from 58 to 82 degrees? I am sure my sanitation has been thourough. ANy thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am upset I put so much work into this stuff and the end result is less than great. I always ferment in the primary for a week and put it in the secondary for 2 weeks. and always use liquid wyeast or equivalent. Thanks ahead of time.
