Hi everyone, My wife and I recently bought a hot sauce making kit from more beer. This is our first time ever doing it and I noticed that there's a murky-dusky like stuff on the bottom. I'm posting some pictures. If someone whose familiar could take a look and let me know if this is...

Totally makes sense, it still hasn't dropped in gravity at all, but there's a thick Krausen on top so i know the little yeasties must be happy now! Thanks so much to everyone for the info. Next time I'll do a 2L starter for sure and just pitch the whole thing. I'll also see if i can ferment it...

Thanks for the info, I'm more than happy to give it another day or two. I did aerate the beer. Would it be a good idea to purchase and add another packet of yeast? I can add that and then shake the fermenter to try to aerate a bit more and mix everything. Thanks for the help! I did do a warm...

Hi All, Hoping this is more of a simple question; but I generally brew with ale yeast not lager yeast. This year for my Oktoberfest instead of using a kolsch yeast I used a German lager yeast. I chose WLP830, made a 1.5L Starter and let it go. It fermented quite well in the starter and i put...

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it.out. I'm coming from the beer brewing world and have always liked the flavor of Kombucha. I can see the appeal doing a keg size portion.

So should I do a secondary fermentation? Rack everything out of the original except a cup of liquid and the scoby? Should I start over and make a new scoby?

Thanks I appreciate it! Just so i know, this is the first time I've fermented with fruit, should I worry about the brown on the scoby? Thanks,

Hi Everyone, I recently made my own mother in a 2L jar and decided that i wanted to brew more so i upgraded to a 1 gallon jar. When i did this and dropped the mother i had into it, it floated for the first day then just disappeared. Now i currently have what looks like a new mother forming in...

This is interesting. I've done starters before but have never seen a yeast take off like this so quickly before. I'm only 10 hrs in and there appears to be a ton of yeast at the bottom, so much so that it's forming yeast rafts already. This is wlp067 which contains diastaticus. I was wondering...

I've had small little blotches of a black mold in mine. I think it's because I use my fermentation chamber as a kegerator as well. Cleaned out like a charm though, used an all purpose cleaner then left the door open for a week.

Man

Only ever had 1 batch that turned out not so good out of 20ish batches. This one just fermented a little to warm, thankfully it was a blonde so I waited 6 months to drink. Ended up being just, 'fine'
