Count me in

Aprreciate the input! I moved it back to the warmer room and it seems to be getting better, hopefully a week at the correct temp will help it out. Thanks again!

I fermented at 65F. The LHBS told me to rest at 55-60F for 24-48 hours, that seemed to jsut make the diacetyl smell worse.

I'm brewing ORfy's hobgoblin clone and used ringwood. It fermented out and I hit my FG. However it has a slightly buttery smell and taste. I know I need to do a diacetyl rest but I've come across a range of temps to bring it to. Joy of Homebrewing states that it should happen at 55-60...

I'm starting a beer club at the culinary school I attend. I got put in charge of the club as the last person flaked out. I'm left with the following ingredients that was supposed to be an IPA, but was left without any hops. 6lb Briess Golden Light DME 3.0 lb Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt 1.25...

I washed the yeast from my last batch......however I seem to have not done a very good job, got a lot of trub underneath the yeast. Is it ok to make a starter from the whole thing or should I try to get the clean yeast off the top somehow?

I'm looking to make Yooper's EKG IPA (I have a half pound of hops in the freezer screaming to be used) Though my problem is that, while I have done all-grain in the past, my current set-up only allows for extract brewing. I converted the recipe in beersmith, but the amounts don't seem to be...

I shall do that, thanks for advice!

Yeah it's all grain. I know there is a lot of debate about hot side aeration, should I jsut dump pot #1 into pot #2 and chill away?

Due to the inefficiency of my stove I have to do split boils or 2.5gal batches. I only have one big sink and can cool only one pot at a time. My pot is big enough to hold the full wort after it's been boiled, can I put the split boils in one pot and cool in the sink? Or would I be better off...

Any one know of a clone for this one? Or have anything that comes close? Thanks!! :tank:
