https://beerandbrewing.com/recipe-la-nouvelle-american-pale-ale/ This the recipe I copied (or tried to). No particular reason, it just sounded interesting to me. It called for 34/70 but my homebrew shop didn't have any so they recommended WLP833 as a substitute. I just followed the...

It did finish pretty fast. Once it got going it chugged along like a champ. The later bottles were definitely better than the first. The first bottle or two was just so-so for sure, but she was prime after a couple of weeks. I was trying to drink them as fresh as I could since it was an APA...

It turned out pretty well actually. I was totally surprised. It finished within about a week. I cold crashed and bottled and after about 2 weeks in the bottle it had settled nicely. I finished off every bottle with ease!!!! :yes: I really appreciate everyone's advice and suggestions.

@dmtaylor @hottpeper13 @Mr. Vern Well, last night I did what you said. I was getting ready to pitch my US-05 when I saw this reply. I bumped up the temp. to 64F. I woke up this morning and saw this!!!

Good idea!!! I can do that.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll wait until the 48 hour mark before I do anything. If nothing is happening I'll pitch that US-05. Next time however I'll make a starter for the liquid yeast and make sure I have a healthy base before pitching. I hate this so much because I was looking forward...

Very true. Yeah, I'll give it until this evening. If still nothing I'll pitch that US-05. So, do you think there will be any off putting flavors by combining the two?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything. No bubbles coming through nor is there any change to the beer when looking at it. It still looks the same. I will say though, I'm using a "big mouth bubbler" fermenter and when I pushed down on the top of the fermenter this morning it did release...

Hey everyone, Hope all is well. I have a few questions if you don't mind? Ok, so I brewed up an APA on Sunday. The brew day went smoothly, hit all my targets, etc. Cooled down the wort, placed it in my chamber and pitched WLP833 a little on the warm side (~60F) because it was getting...

I'm in Kentucky. Truthfully, our Winter wasn't any longer than normal. Just seemed like it to me.

No doubt. I was pretty excited to see that little guy this week. After the long winter I was wondering when they might start popping up.

Just popped up two days ago. Cascade!!!

It was definitely a training exercise alright. For about 3 minutes I was scrambling. I read the same thing about aroma being low. The more I contemplate the more I think I will just see how it turns out. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah, I panicked a little and didn't even think about pulling the hop basket. I was just trying to remedy the situation before I went too long. Wasn't smart enough to think of that I guess. I was never really worried about the beer being undrinkable or...

Good deal. Sounds like a plan to me. Appreciate the help.
