Just curious if this will have a negative effect on the beer

I did your second suggestion.

Ok so i brewed on saturday... brought down to temp and pitched us05. I was before using liquid yeast without a starter... and it sucked. Ive used us05 before and its kicked off fast. Not this time. Its not tuesday. No activity. So i shook the fermenter to try and rouse the yeast... will this...

Is bottle conditioning at 86 too high? I have ferm temp control for primary fermentation but not bottle conditioning.

So i brewed a pale ale. I would love to post the recipe for you all but beersmith happened to delete all of mine. I took a hydro reading and i hit my numbers dead on and hit the fg. Tastes great. But after finishing, still the krausen hasnt fallen. Is it ok to rack to a secondary like this? I...

Thanks!

I racked a wheat ale onto the the peach puree into the secondary? Im just curious if you have to stir or just rack and leave it?

looking for suggestions and info. Would both steeping hops and dry hopping be to much? I get the feeling one or the other is usually chosen. Cheers

Hey all, recently I brewed my first recipe. An ipa. It has a great golden color and tastes great. Hit my targets perfectly. But when I took a hydrometer reading to get my fg, it was a little cloudy. And looked like yeast was still in suspension. Even if they weren't I think it might still be...

Thanks for the opinion. Out of curiosity, what would this do for my.beer?
