I think OP wanted to make an American style IPA and used a British recipe and got what sounds like a good EIPA. I'm going with Yoop on this one.

Im thinking you're alright. Positive air pressure is a hell of a thing.

Congrats, welcome to the tribe.

^ Check the gravity. Also, give it some time as well. Slow starts are nerve racking, but kick back, drink a beer, and just wait.

That's awesome. Its a great hobby to be involved in. Cheers man!

Yeah make sure that whatever program you use, if its not designed with BIAB in mind, you account for the fact that BIAB is a different animal then 3 vessel brewing.

I brew exclusively small batch. (mostly because I don't have the space to ferment carboys, or keg 5 gallons for that matter) Experimentation is one of the biggest perks of small batch brewing. I brewed a 2.5 gallon batch of ginger beer over the summer, and I took it to the extreme. 2 pounds of...

Thats exactly what was happening for me.

I had this problem a couple brews ago. I was freaking out thinking i had some bad yeast. Turns out, my thermometer was not doing its job and I mashed way too high (Probably around 158). The beer was sweet and thick.

Ive got two different oatmeal stouts chugging along right now. Both are my holiday beers. One with cinnamon, nutmeg, and some all spice. The other with a quarter puck of Abuelita's hot chocolate.

Gravity is better than butts. Good to know.

My brewbuddy, has about 6 of these, we both ferment in them simply because space constraints.
