You guys helped me learn/ I guess I over thought it. As I said I hadn’t done a brew in the bag method yet so. But here’s my batch guys! Amber ale ! How’s it look?

Lol wtf

shake it for 2-5 minutes????? sn't that a bit much distrubing

about 20 mins

S-05 yeast. I pitched it and slowly mixed it to hydrate. Wart was at 64F before adding more water. Didn’t test it after that. I didn’t shake it but it did move side to side when moving. I did take a gravity reading and it was exact to the recipe. No fermentation yet. But it’s just floating at...

What about this yeast?? It’s just floating at the top...

so i dont add the hops to the bag. i remove the bag and add it straight to the pot correct? and 7 gallons because a lot of that evaporates yeah? that'll make 5.5 gallons you think?
