Pellet hops*

Hmmm good guess with the hop debris... I used pellet good as well which is also a first time for me.. usually prefer whole leaf..it smells great at this point

Just a few days into primary fermentation of a black IPA. First pic the Kraus is forming as normal with some yeast (dark brown on the foam). But, in the second pic there is a yellow that I have never seen before...any ideas what that is?? Thanks all!

any idea what the yellow Is? The white is the kraus, the brown is some of the yeast but I've never seen the yellow before...infection maybe?

How long did you folks leave this in the primary fermenter before moving to secondary? My hydrometer broke the other day so I'm trying this one by feel

Holy smokes!!

Is this a 10g or 5g recipe?

I am just wondering how you know this? Is there any kind of chart that breaks this knowledge of hops and hop schedules? or is this all just from experience? Making hop schedules is a giant puzzle to me at the moment

Are there any threads on here that delve into calculating efficiency and all that fun stuff a bit deeper? I am newish to brewing and ready to start diving into the more technical aspects.

Im in! this would make everything a touch easier!

Pictures?

I'm having flashbacks to 3rd grade....

I ran out of table sugar and didn't have time to run out and grab some. I'm doing a 1 gallon batch so I did a pound of each. As for the yeast I used s-05 and it doesn't seem to be bubbling as much as it should for how much sugar is in there....

Also does anyone know what would if anything, happen if I added a second different yeast strain a week or so into primary fermentation?

Have you guys used dextrose instead of table sugar? Curious if those two can be interchangeable?
