Wow ok that's a lot of good info you gave me. I feel a lot better and yeah my beer is a double IPA at 9.8% so it would need more time I guess

Yeah I did I used 3/4 cup corn sugar for 4 gal beer and I'm not sure on the temp but I'm thinking it's like 65 area it's been cold lately, I moved them to warmer room which should be more like 70 deg.

My beer has been bottled almost 3 weeks but still flat! And I noticed I don't really have sediment on the bottom like in my other batches Help

I had already cleaned it sorry:(

Ok thanks for the info, now I must clean the dried wort splatter on my walls haha:)

Ok . But yeah I think it might have to do with my temp and happy yeast:) I have one of those sticker thermometer things on my bucket.. Is that the temp of the brew or the room??

I brewed this sat and on sun I was getting a good normal fermentation, but in the middle of the night , Pow! My lid blew off I sealed it off but again Pow! so I did a growler with a blow off tube bcuz I had this prob once before and it worked then. This time it's working but still going crazy, I...

Yeah I'm sure your brew is fine, but you could of done things better. Always make sure your temp is at the right pitching temp. Don't gently stir the yeast in , stir it well because you have to creat air bubbles for the yeast , I shake my bucket. And like everyone said hydrometer is what u pay...

Does anyone know a good website to buy craft brew merchandise? Shirts hats cups ect. Or do u have to go to each breweries own website??

I don't think so u should be fine I don't see a problem with that. You may have a different temp lose is all

Oh ok so just stronger than the beers standard gravity range

I have wondered this for a while now, what makes a imperial porter imperial or ipa or stout? What does the imperial mean??

Yeah I guess, I asked the guy and he said they don't carry cpvc that maybe a plumbing store. But as long as I read the pipe and it saids 180*F rating I should be good Thanks u to everyone who help

Yes I checked but they don't carry cpvc but I did find some other pipe today at home depot. That is used for residential plumbing that has a rating of 100psi@180 degrees which I just found out cpvc is rated at so that should work. I just need to go back when the wife is not nagging me haha.

I've heard of cpvc but can't find it anywhere. Ive seen a pipe that said 100 or1000psi @180 I think it's used for house water would that work?
