very interesting, that makes me fell a bit better

i always though krausen had loads of healthy yeast cells and hop particles that would potentially alter the beers taste if "blown off"

i just simply cant do a full 5 gallon boil just yet(waiting for a few things mash tun and new kettle)..3 is sort of the max i dont know why i said 4

i want to do some small all grain batches, just wanted to know whats the optimal head space for wort to ferment in.. my guess was about a gallon and a half considering most of us do 5 - 5.5g batches. i have a 5g carboy that i'd like to use, would a 3.5g or maybe even a 4g batch be suitable for a...

lol at nervous noobs.. i feel like im always worrying about something homebrew related ... specially now that im venturing into AG..oh well celebration ale is inspiring me right now to relax and think positive thoughts

tell me about it nefarious im dying to try this brew i might have to take a trip to philly...i;d be more willing to trade though...anyone? pm me

Its down done at 1.006 from the og of 1.075...recipe was a bear racer clone from austins partial mash volume...Did i mash too low? also what does this mean for the beers taste. will it be too strong? too dry? i ferment with the swamp cooler method and maintained 60-68 for two weeks then brought...

lol! at the gerbil ... thats a crazy pic though..best of luck to your recovery man.

there seems to be multiple schools of thought of what you do after fermenteation has been completed...personally i dont think its wise to go by the manual either considering your yeast have not read it. they are doing a job, let them do it, patience IS a virtue. I personally do 3.5 wks...

reviving this thread because im a little concerned with my starter. its a wyeast ringwood ale strain.. made is last night , just walked over to give it a swirl and it sort of smelled sort of like apple/cidery but behind it was beer smell... need some guidance on what to do...

i dont what to do guys homebrewin has the best idea i think considering my situation, im not doing full boils yet, so im thinking to mash half add half the amount of hops. place in fermenter about 2.5g and repeat then combine with the previous wort and pitch... this is exactly the opposite of...

i'd use weights ...but i like your idea bettter. i just want it to come out good ..this is my first all grain batch and im already fooking stuff up by not separating my grains in the corrent amounts

crap so i'm screwed is what your tellin me?

think im gonna try and mix it up and weigh out half...its a lil over 10lbs of grain
