Thx 4 the help

This beer does not taste like a 35 ibu beer. The original beer that is being cloned is rated at18 ibu. When entered recipe into beersmith it was estimated at 35 ibu. I guess I'm tiring to figure out: did I do something wrong in beersmith? Which of the hops used should be good to dry hop? Now...

It is a fat tire amber ale clone.... I just looked up the ibu rating on the website and it is 18 ibu.... Maybe I have something setup wrong in beer smith? Anyway i was not going to rack into a secondary but if dry hopping the left over hops will help, I would do it.

4 days ago I racked a Belgian wit into secondary. I came home from work today and notice little white balls floating on top on beer. I turns out that I didn't dissolve all the one step sanitizer when I prepared the carboy. The granulars are starting to dissolve and leaving a sheen on top. What...

The yeast was white labs wlp400...came wet in a vial... I read many have had slow fermentation with this yeast and had to swirl the brew every 2 days or so.

I did move the brew into a warm area in home. As of 6.30 am the temps were up and the airlock was going crazy...we are up and running again....can't wait to taste!

The airlock was off, the pail lid was sealed and my finger was over the hole. When I took my finger off the hole tons of air/pressure came out.
