It was a blend of American ale yeast and London ale yeast both from Wyeast. But the only reason I was asking the question was because of another topic I had posted in this forum about stuck fermentation. I think I have got my question answered; I am mashing at too high a temperature and...

Ok cool thanks for the help guys.

I think that's the problem I'm mashing too high. So I'll try that with my next batch. It's a 10-gallon batch with: 20 lbs 2-Row, 4 lbs 12 oz Rye Malt, 2 lbs 8 oz Midnight Wheat, 2 lbs 8 oz Caramunich, 1 lb 4 oz carafa III, and 1lb 2.4 oz Crystal 60L. My OG was 1.081 and my FG was 1.024. Yeast...

So I have been AG brewing for about 3 batches now with a 15-gallon keg set-up. I first did an AG batch with a 10-gallon igloo cooler and had no problem with any of the 3 batches not fermenting properly, but now when I am brewing with my new 15-gallon keg and burner set-up I am having a problem...

ok cool thanks

Yes I am asking if my beer is fermenting "normal". I have had problems with stuck fermentations as of late and I want to make sure it's not doing that again. I have taken a gravity reading. The O.G. was 1.084 and when I took the gravity reading 1 week into it it was at 1.042. The F.G. is...

I dont want a Final F.G. I want a mid-ferment F.G.. I know it probably sounds like a stupid question cause it's probably just 50% of the O.G. but I didn't know if it was suppose to be actually more than that or less than that at like 60% after 1 week.

After a week of fermenting a 1.084 Jack Wookey Black Rye IPA I was wondering what my F.G. should be at that point?

ok cool thank you

So im doing a yeast starter for the first time- yay me lol; but on my software it calls for a 2800 ml starter, is the amount i boil 2800 ml and if so how much dme would i need about 2 1/2 cups?

ok thank you for the answers agaian. Yea im looking up buckets right now lol.

ok cool thank you all for the quick help. But yea i think the keg will be fine we'll see how it goes, but thank you again.

so i decided to dump it but what should i use to clean out the plastic fermenter with and the keg with? I heard of vinegar maybe but would that absorb into the plastic and rust the SS. Any Suggestions?

but what about a keg?

Its been in primary for 2 weeks, we were bottling it today; gravity was good and it tastes good- a hint of sour but not much, and some fruitiness.
