My bry-97 must have heard me talking about how slow it is because this is what I came home to, helped clear it up by spewing all the stuff out of the top! Still goin strong so hopefully I didn't lose too much yeast
I used a whole tablet in 1 gallon :/ scaled everything down in the 5 gal recipe except the whirlfloc...my clouds aren't even really swirling they do move around but it takes hours to notice a change, it's bubbling away though so I'm not worried. And seeing that bry-97 is a generally clumpy yeast...
Ha I sure hope so! I plan on cold crashing when fermentation is done to hopefully compact all that down. I haven't had a krausen form yet, lots of white bubbles but no normal beige colored foam. I have read that the bry-97 can take a very long time to get going though so hopefully it picks up...
I saw a couple threads about this but only found one person that gave the outcome of his beer. This is a hopslam clone recipe from this forum, my first time using whirlfloc (a whole tablet in 1 gallon :/) and bry-97 yeast (which after reading the thread on here, may have been another mistake)...
Thanks for the tips guys, this place rocks! I like the idea of just taking the measurement at mash/cool time and bottling time but also may have to pick up a refractometer, little more money and effort for from what I understand is a less accurate measurement but I'm not necessarily looking for...
Hope it helps you as much as it did me!
I have a hydrometer that I haven't used yet, not sure if I want to risk pouring a sample back in or not, I know I definitely don't want to waste ANY amount from my already small 1 gallon batch. Does anybody have a method they use to test gravity from 1...
I'm a new 1-gallon homebrewer myself, 5 batches in and just about to be drinking my first (the warrior double IPA from BBS) for the Super Bowl. I also had to get a new stainless steel strainer since the one I had didn't quite cut it my first brew. I've also adopted a technique that I learned on...
At this point all my fermenting is happening in my basement where the temp stays in the mid 60s, I know the temp will rise during the first stage of extremely active fermentation so I'm hoping that they don't go high enough and/or long enough to produce much if any off flavors. I actually...
I just divided everything by 5 and ended up with
2 lbs - 2 row
.4 lbs - Vienna
.1 lbs - Cara-pils
.1 lbs - Crystal 20L
1 oz of Centennial hops
Your 4 hop additions at 60,15,5 and 1 minutes are all 5.6 grams (1/5 oz) and you should have 5.6 left to dry hop (which would be equal to dry hopping...
Adventures in Homebrewing - Taylor, Mi www.homebrewing.org
Real good experience when I went in there, haven't ordered online. I'll be making another trip this week
New to home brewing and the forum, got a Brooklyn brew shop kit for Christmas, warrior double IPA. Within a week of brewing that I went to a brew shop to make another 1 gallon fermenter and ingredients for a slightly modified dogfish 60 min clone. One on the left is the kit, which I am dry...
