If its still fermenting, i'd leave it alone, give it a couple more days then decide.

Thank you all for the advice and tips. I'll stick to regular old brews.

Hi all, I was watching a video the other day on how to go about making moonshine and the fellow used horse feed (Onate Feed Co.) sweet feed. He cooked it with water for an hour then let it cool, strained it, added sugar and yeast then set it aside to ferment. Ten days later it had stopped...

When in doubt.......WAIT! Its probably ok, give some time.

Thanks Fellas! I actually just finished brewing up a pale ale and I was wondering that I hope my supplies from LHBS get here by tuesday so I can bottle and just thought of it. I am sure it can be improved on by more clever minds than mine, but I thought it was kinda funny and so I posted...

Our beer, which art fermenting, Hallowed be thy yeast, Thy time will come Thy will be done, In hydrometer as it is in conditioning Give us this day our daily bubbles And forgive us our test sips As we forgive those who sip against us And lead us not into unsanitation But deliver us from...

Thank you for the reply, it's just regular dry yeast from Mr. Beer. Cheers!
