So I was cleaning a Better Bottle yesterdsy and I was rolling it on its side and it cracked!!! I could not believe my eyes I was not doing anything that I have not done before or on other Better Bottles!!

I am having big problems keeping my fermentation temps low. I can hold it steady at 78 and that's about as cold as I can get it. I know that very hot for this yeast and I'm curious about what the out come will be at this high of a temp. Has anyone else used this yeast at these temps? I'm...

My 90 min ipa was finished in 3 days. Rack to secondary then dry hop. It will be great. If your that worried let it sit for a week or two the rack to secondary and dry hop. fishH2o

Take a look at this one im drinking now ; https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/bitter-wort-218358/ Yes its not the best taste in the world but it is something that you can like. After 3 these things taste great. No it wont win a 1st place but its not bad in fact im liking them. So no dont pour it...

So it finished fermenting and the FG was 1.022. I let it sit on the yeast for another week at about 70 - 72. I was able to bottle it on the 31st. I couldn't wait any longer so I just cracked one open. For only a week conditioning it had a good head and a great flavor. Its a little intense to say...

Agreed!!! Im going to bottle today so I will have two empty carboys. Im going to do a DFH 90 min clone for sure.. So I think im going to do the APA. Most of the beers I brew have a high ABV so I might like to have something in the 5 - 6 ABV range. Any APAs you guys and gals just love? Since Im...

i can keep it 60 right now. Im in the process of building out a mini-fridge for a fermentation chamber so lagering a little later.

I have a wit in the primary right now. I was thinking of a porter too but I was swinging away from that because of the stout but i might just do that.. So a porter is on the list but not the highest priority. So I need one more before next weekend and that will get me two for saturday...

So right now i have a Belgian dub in the bottle, a stout and a brown I will bottle this weekend, and a wit fermenting for the next 12 days. This weekend I will empty two carboys. Im going to do a DFH 90 min IPA clone but what should I put in the other? Also, if I have too many choices i will go...

So im thinking of getting this kit in extract. has anyone brewed this and if so how did it turn out? Thanks, FishH2o :tank:

I grew up in Houston and I miss specs more than my parents ;-) Seriously I remember when the downtown location was the only one and I used to make it a 1/2 day shopping trip. Im glad you enjoyed it! :ban:

What i do is make the starter and let it stir on a stir plate for 24 - 36 hours. After that I put it in the fridge and let it settle out for a day or so. On brew day I set it out and let it warm as I am brewing. While the boil is going on it decant the old beer off the yeast and let it warm...
