Hey guys. How long is too long in a fermenter? I have had an imperial pale ale in the fermenter for four weeks now because I wanted my hops sediment to drop. Is this too long? Will the taste be compromised?

Hey guys, I never know exactly how to take the gravity of my beer. Do I push it all the way into the "beaker" and let it rise to the correct gravity, or do I lay it on top and let it sink? Either way better?

I made a Imperial Pale Ale kit from Brewer's Best. It had a lot more hops than I usually get in my kits, and when after I used my wort chiller, I moved it over to the fermenter and there was just a lot of hops coming through. they weren't at the bottom, which i attributed to having the wort...

Absolutely! I have never had a beer have so much hoppy pieces. Just wanted to make sure it's ok. Still pretty new! Thanks so much for the help.

Thanks guys! I'm gonna go look up cold crashing. Thanks so much for the advice!

Quick question. I brewed an imperial pale ale on Saturday night and as of last night there was still a ton of hop debris suspended. Will this fall? Or should I plan on straining?

Hey guys, Though I hear 70 degrees is perfect for fermentation, even during the day our house is set to 67. Where I'm fermenting is Between 63-65 at any given time. Should this be OK for fermentation?

Thanks so much guys! Appreciate the help! Glad to be aboard!

Hey everyone, happy to have found the board! I am brewing my first batch, Williams English Bitter, and I have a question. After 10 days now, I haven't seen any bubbles in my valve. I did see plenty of foam after a few days, and I have a nice yeasty ring around the top, but should I be worried...
