just started following this thread and was wondering if anyone has used The Yeast Bays Vermont Ale yeast for this recipe?

i'm in..thank you

well, 1st check hydrometer with water to see if it is accurate, mine reads about 0.004 too high. it looks like your reading is about 1.004-1.006. as far as i know possible causes for low FG could be too low of a mash temp or too high temps for fermentation. anyone with more experience /knowledge...

brewed this about a week ago, also used a hop spider. the hops smelled fantastic...until they got thrown into the boil then the aroma was not as present. now after a week in my ferm chamber i can smell that beautiful hop aroma when i open the lid..cant wait til its ready to drink.

would love to try one of these, count me in. thanks
