Me, too. This is pretty foolproof. I've never had one problem using this method.

Let those suckers sit for 6 months.

Take a gravity reading. You never know, it might be fermenting just fine. You won't know unless you take a gravity reading.

Being pretty new to using starters, I mistakenly decided to make one from the small amount of sediment from the secondary of my last brew, a clone of Victory Hop Devil IPA. I harvested a bit of the sediment after racking the IPA to the keg. I made a starter wort (OG 1.050) of only a pint...

Copy writer for a large outdoor company in Maine. I bet you can guess which one.

I would halve the amount of blueberries. Every time I've had a fruit beer the fruit has been overpowering....more like a fruit soda than beer. I've only made one, a raspberry wheat for my wife and I used half the amount of raspberries called for in the recipe. It was quite good, even to a...

The 30 psi at 48 hours works well for me, my local homebrew shop owner gave that advice.

Yes, after racking to the secondary, warming to 70 and swirling it has gotten going again with regular bubbling in the air lock. Happened very quickly. Now I've got these two nice starters bubbling away that I won't end up using. Oh well, it was a good first try at getting a starter going...

Thanks for the reply. This was an all-extract brew. Yeast is Wyeast 1338 Euro ale that comes in the starter packet---so yes I guess it was a starter. First time I've used that type of yeast. It got going real fast after pitching so I was quite pleased with that. Yes, I'm thinking racking...

Brewed a Brooklyn Brown a couple weeks ago. OG was 1.060. I usually rack into the secondary after 7-8 days if the airlock has stopped bubbling a lot. It had so I prepared to rack into the secondary, took a gravity reading and to my surprise it was only 1.036. So I let it sit 3 more days and...

I really love our newest Maine beer, Baxter. They make a great pale ale and IPA. And Shipyard's Chamberlain Ale is an exceptional winter brew.

Brewing Gritty's Brown Ale this weekend.

I'm new as well. One thing that helped me was hooking up the CO2 to the empty keg and testing it for leaks. Doing this revealed a leaky relief valve, which I was then able to fix without the beer being needlessly exposed to oxygen while I fiddled with it.

Wow, lots of different opinions here.....love it. Art Vandelay, no worries. You're right something is definitely wrong with MKE's system. I was just suggesting that maybe lowering to 8 psi would help him achieve a pourable beer. Wouldn't solve whatever is going on with his system, though...
