Thanks for the tip

Thanks I have improved my fermenting buy using a cool brew cooler as far as the bottle condition I have not run in to a problem the beers taste good On a side note I can only get dry yeast here so my options are limited in the yeast categories........[emoji24]

thanks what BS seems to be missing is extra water I need for the Mash infusion what setting should I use to add that ? PS I will meditate I am the Boss of BS I am the boss of BS before my next batch :)

Had to dump all the beer they exploded like champagne upon opening :( lesson learned

Last night I bottled it I have it covered with a Plastic tin I hope no bottle bombs

I used BRY-97 American West Coast Beer Yeast I re-hydrate it per the instructions then I re-pitched using safale s-04 that i just added dry... and it never took off the second time I also forgot to add that I dry hopped it with 3 oz of Mt hood to try and balance the extra sweetness I tasted...

FG stayed the same I guess it's time to bottle as it's not going any lower!!! any concerns or advise on bottling

thanks I just ordered one :) now for this beer since I did re-pitch I am going to let it run it's course and will check in a week and pray i could drop it a bit

update I just Pitched a pack of SF-04 (only thing I had on hand) and will bring it up to 70 to see if it helps kick it off... update to come
