great link...thanks!

here is the recipe for the 5 gallon batch by the way 10lbs pale 2 row 1lb crystal 60 .5lb biscuit 60min@152 fly sparge at 164 1lb DME at 60 1oz Magnum @ 40 1oz simcoe @ 15 2oz A. Cascade @ flame out currently waiting on fermentation to slow before I dry hop with 1oz simcoe 1oz A...

yeah, holding off on the dry hop.... Pretty normal for higher gravity beers to still be this active after a week and a half?

I'm brewing a IPA which had an OG of 1.077:rockin:. After a week and a half of fermentation its still thumping pretty good... at least every second. This is abnormal compared to all of the other beers I've brewed (all in the 1.05 range). After reading several compelling arguments on here on...

mm the Burton sounds a bit like what I've been looking at... couldn't find anything on the Courage 1914. Porter's are also a good idea. Anyone have a good recipe they would care to share?

In the past month I've brewed an Evil Dead Red Clone, A pale, and an IPA. I know for sure I'm going to be giving a good percentage of those away for various reasons, Holidays/birthdays/etc, and I'm feeling a bit greedy like I need to brew another 5 gallon batch all for myself... only problem is...

I think it could actually be pretty simple. I usually go the unfermented wort route, but the theory seems the same. Make your priming concoction, then check the gravity. Based on the gravity use the amount listed in the chart in the link below... I use this chart pretty much every time I...

the room is probably cooler... I'm confident the wort is at 70. I am using white labs CA Ale... 001. it is the first time I've had beer in fermentation seemingly slow down, then go crazy. That is what has me concerned. I was wondering if by today, not covering my carboy with a frozen T...

yeah, I know the temp is high, but my carboys are currently in the coldest room in the house, and until the past 2 days its been in the High 80's low 90's OUTSIDE, so I felt good about 70 given the tools at hand. I was more concerned about it going crazy for a few days, slowing, then appearing...

So I have a pale going... I brewed Saturday, all seemed like a completely normal fermentation until I got home today. My beer went crazy while I was gone. Evidence of foam in my air lock, & foam residue all the way up to the air lock. Bubbling in the air lock slowed significantly over the...
