Woops, correction... 1.052 OG. Forgot to correct for temp when I took it @80deg F. BTW... Still little to no change. Krausen size, and bubble rate are remaining the same. It might be of interest that there is very little yeast cake or yeast in suspension. Most all of it is in the dense...

Thanks to all! I'll keep you posted. No change from last night. BTW... the O.G. was 1.050. Probably should have waited another week. I'm doing that with a Dry Irish Stout starter that I began this past Saturday. But I wanted to get this done by the end of May for when my father comes up...

Um... Did I screw up? I purchased the patersbier all-grain kit from Northern Brewer. It arrived this past Saturday. I wanted to brew on Sunday, but since the yeast (Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity) didn't arrive until I got the kit on Saturday, I wouldn't have a big enough starter...

I picked up a splatter screen a couple of months ago with the purpose of possibly using it as a false bottom. Fits w/in the diameter of my 10gal mash tun perfectly. I haven't used it for that purpose yet though and thought about doing exactly what you are thinking, instead. ...However, I...

Thanks! That is helpful.

Hey all, Got a question about adding a fermentable adjunct. My goal is to have a drinkable, kegged, and carbonated stout ready by St. Paddy's. I missed my original gravity (first AG attempt), and would like to boost it with a dark-flavored adjunct like molasses or treacle, and possibly some...

Hey all, I've looked around and there a ton of threads about using treacle, molasses, and golden syrup, but I couldn't find this particular question: I missed my gravity on my first all-grain batch on my Dry Irish Stout, and would like to bring the ABV up a bit, and have thought about...

My 2 pennies: I'm new to all grain, myself. Brewed my first batch on Superbowl Sunday. It was a 5 gal Irish Dry Stout in a 7.5 gal kettle. No worries. 10 drops of Fermcap-S == no boil overs.

Howdy y'all, This is my first post here - just registered, but I've been lurking for a few weeks. I brewed my first all-grain this past SuperBowl Sunday, and have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can help with. So, my efficiency was pretty poor, ~62%. I think I added way too much H2O...
