So still no activity in the airlock at all, Friday I will check again and check the hydrometer reading. I am assuming that it is a leak int he gasket. Should I transfer to another vessel and pitch some more yeast? or just let it keep going in the same bucket?

Thanks, I suspect that it might be the lid, that leaks like you said. At least I hope it is.

So the big question is, Should I just go get some more yeast tomorrow and pitch it?

Ok here is my dilemma, is my fermentation stuck or am I being paranoid? Ok the attached picture is at the 75 hour mark I have not seen any airlock activity at all. I did gravity reading and it was 1.040, original was 1.052 but could have been off and most likely closer to 1.060. Tasting did not...

Sorry about the typing and my though process when typing. I blame the cold meds. Well the only reason I took out the 1 and 1/4 cups was because the recipe called for 8.5 lbs, and instead of wasting the rest of the DME I was going to use it for the priming. Instead of using the priming sugar.

I have a question about dry malt extract. I was working on a recipe that had me use 8.5 lbs extra light. I had 9 lbs, because of the way it came bagged. I was talking 1 and 1/4 cup out for for priming sugar. well what happened I lost tract of what I was doing and took the 1 and 1/4 cup added it...

well I woke up at 11 this morning and what active yeast. this beer is flying that is 7 hours after pitching.

well 0400 here, and just pitched yeast 15 minutes ago. just finished cleaning up. logging out and off to bed. good morning all.

Well I had to decide, so I went with 8 oz of maple syrup at the 15 min mark. if not enough I know I will have to change it next time.

Ok, so now I have a dilema! my pot is so full during the boil, I could not add the maple syrup. I figure that there will be room at the 15 min mark. Should I add it then? I replaced all the water with maple sap. I am 30 minutes in now and I see room in the pot with the evaporation that has...
