Well it's been 19 days in the primary. I racked into the secondary tonight and the gravity was 1.020. Taste was pretty good. Going to keep in secondary for another two weeks then bottle with an oatmeal stout that i have in my other secondary already.

Looking into upgradeing brew pot. Right now i have a job lot ss 22qt brew pot. Looking for something bigger. We are doing partial extract and grain right now and will be moving to all grain in the future mostlikely. How many gallon pot should i be looking for and what features? Also how...

yes it was exactly 5 gallons before. The good news is that it has started fermenting already less than 12 hours later.

So a freind and i brewed a choc. coffee stout yesterday and our gravity was 1.092. Which was high so we added a half gallon of water to it. We didn't take a gravity after doing so. It was put into a 6.5 carboy and yeast was already in and figured reading wouldn't be complety acurate. And...

Ok so I have looked a few more places and also at that link. But my question is does anything change by using the two different steps. I have brewed 8 times so far. I have tried each one and a few different ways. Is there an experienced brewer that would know any of hte changes from one to the...

Hello, just about to start a Chocolate Coffee Stout but didnt see Irish moss in the kit we had put together. Beforehand Irish moss has been a part of all the recipes i've brewed. Is it critical to include or should i just ommit it for this boil seeing it is a stout, Any pros or cons...

It started fermenting 24 hours after putting in the fermenter and has stopped ferementing after about 48 hours. Them temp has been between 63 and 68. I'm going to give it until sunday and get a gravity check and again on Monday. Now is 48 hours enough time to ferment?

Well 24 hours later it started to ferment and and 12 hours after that i ended up needing to put a blow off tube on it. All alst night it fermented like crazy could hear it from other room. Now tonight it hasn't shown any signs. it couldn't have fermented in 48 hours?

It was measured after it was raised to 5 gallons and was mixed very well. The malt were pre measure. The grain was measure from lbs and the dme was packaged and lme was out of can. As far as we know everything was right on.
