Yeah, that’s what I was going to do but I was thinking before I do all that, does it already exist...

Hi, I was wondering if there is a simple list of different ingredients and what the use is for? I go through website after website but I’ll lose track of the type of ingredient and uses. Didn’t know if there was a list already out there. Example: XXX Grains - used for darkening and flavor...

Ok, so I took a gravity reading today and it hasn't changed....bottle it? It's not at the recommended reading but it hasn't changed....

I ran the stopper under extreme hot water before putting it back on. I have the water cranked up at my house. Sounds like I have some more time for that. I'll check it again this weekend. Thanks,

Ok guys. I took an reading and it's at ~1.027. I was hoping for the 1.015 so I can bottle it before I leave. Because of this, I put the stopper back on. Was I right in doing this? About how many more days? Also, if I'm using a glad carbon, could I just leave the gravity reader in it? On a...

I can't wait till I try my next batch. This has been the best lesson learned so far.

rented_mule73, I did get my gravity reading before I repintch. I have it in my one room downstairs where it's nice a cool, wrapped in a blanket and I'm leaving it alone. On a good note, when I took the gravity reading, I did drink what was out and it didn't taste half bad. maybe there is...

I added the yeast and it started to work pretty good with alittle foaming, but after a bit, it died off. However, when you take a hard close look you do see some little bubbles come to the top. Just doesn't foam like I thought it would. I'll leave it like this for a bit and let everyone...

Keywest, what do you mean oxygenate the wort?

Midfielder5, That is one of the questions I needed answered. Everyplace said after 5-7 days, transfer it, but I never knew anymore than that...If I would of known it was within 5 points, it would of stayed in the bucket. I do have a packet of US-05. Should I add it? If so, do I add it...

KeyWest, I did that on my first batch and it worked fine...this is my 2nd and it seems like an epic fail now....:-(

At this point, I'm willing ot try anything. The place I normally go to should have US-05 from their website, but i'll call and see. Thanks, guilio_2010

rented_mule73, I'll take that as a "I did something wrong". Unfortunately, I'm not able to do a search on this forum for some reason (if you can link a good post, I would gladly appreciate), but I did do a search on google and from what I read, when I popped the lid, I should have taking a...

the temp range of the yeast from what I remember was in the 80s which I found weird cause I remember reading different then the ideal range. I think this is what it was. Danstar Munich Wheat Beer Yeast. I guess where I'm going wrong is the direction on the sheet and what the yeast package...

new to this and learning, but I have a kit that I bought and when doing the process, the one thing that doesn't fit is the fermentation temp. The temp gauge shows around 68-72 but nothing seems to bubble. I took the bucket, put it in hot water and then bubbling happened. I transferred to a...
