What would the extract version be for this?

I'd hate to start a new thread on a relevant topic so I will post in this one and hope that my question gets answered. So like the pictures above of my lid leak, it go a lot heavier, and more leaked out. Everything seems fine, and it was just the yeast doing its thing. But I was curious...

Nope! Thanks for the info, this actually IS my third batch so that tip helps. The fermentation is impressive. Worrisome, but impressive. In my two other batches I've used Safale-04. This particular DIPA called for the Safale-05 strand, and my LHBS didn't have any in stock so he suggested Bry-97...

So my airlock got filled with beer and krausen immediately two times after I cleaned the airlock. I decided to go to a blow off. I got home from class about an hour ago and noticed the tube could be getting clogged. I touched the lid and it seemed really stiff due to the co2 gas. Then I...

Be decided to use Ice Mountain spring water this time instead of tap water. If it's completely sealed do I need to boil to top off my fermenter? Thanks

If a recipe calls for 6.6 light lme and 1.7 light dme, and I have 6lbs of lme, how much more than 1.7 of the dme should I add to equal it out?

Thanks, also, I should have read the FAQ thread pinned to the top. My bad for starting a stupid thread. Cheers!

I was curious, it's my first time brewing- I'm making an IPA, and I'm at 10 days and there are practically no bubbles coming through the airlock, and my expected FG is pretty much at its final place. After testing that FG, I took a sip of the beer and didn't get much carbonation, if any, in the...

I steeped them in a muslin bag, and then took the bag out as I transferred it to an ice bath-- so will it significantly alter the flavor?

Yes, I pitched it at a much lower temperature. I used Safale 04, as my yeast. Although I must add that it still wasn't a low enough temperature and I can get a hint of an estery smell coming from the airlock.

So I'm making my first batch, it's an IPA 1 oz. chinook 14.2% at 60 minutes 1 oz. citra 14.5% at 30 minutes 1 oz. citra 14.5% at 15 minutes 1 oz. citra 14.5% at 5 minutes To start, I had an OG of 1.048 at 90 degrees if that helps at all with the advice. But anyway, I tested the beer before I...
