Ok, so now I am curious about dry hopping. Should I wait for a few days to make sure the yeast clean up after themselves to prevent diacetyl or go ahead and dry hop then raise temps a couple of days before I bottle? My last IPA had a pretty bad diacetyl issue and I waited a month to bottle on...

I brewed a Grapefuit Imperial IPA last Wednesday the 9th and as the title states OG was 1.090. Beginning Saturday (day 3) I noticed no airlock activity and krausen began to sink. I took a gravity today and yesterday. The gravity is currently sitting at 1.012! How is this possible? I have never...

Yeah I don't have a stir plate so I just use wyeast.

So is there anything I can do now?

I brewed this past Wednesday so 3 days or so.

The first beer was above .060. Anyway, should I add yeast nutrient or pitch another 1056? Also will bottle conditioning solve the diaceytl problem?

Last beer I brewed was an imperial IPA. I used only one package of wyeast 1056. I forget the original gravity, however it was above 1.060. Fermentation was quick and aggressive with very high level of krausen. I ended up with a beer that was about 6.7 abv, which in my opinion that's low for an...

Brewed a pliny a bit over a month ago and primed/bottled this past saturday. Bottles have been carbing for a week and they are very lightly carbed but nowhere near finished. All my other brews carbed within a week. As far as the priming surgery goes I used a bit less that 4oz because I ended up...

Yeah my plan was to pasteurize.

My cider is currently sitting at 1.010. I am going to bottle this week and I want to carb them. The cider taste a bit tart, so I am going to add a can of apple rasberry concentrate. If I am going to back sweeten is the sugars in the concentrate enought to carb or do I also need to add priming...

I almost feel like it has got worse in the fridge. It's been there for 2 weeks. So fridge is the way to go?

Ah I see, any way to filter or fix this?

I brewed an IPA and bottles about a month ago. I left it carbing in the closet longer than normal. Within the 2nd week of carbing I had a bottle and there was little to none. The beer is delicious and I'd like to serve it at a party but how can I filter this? There is really no way to pour this...

This is prob my fav beer this summer and want to brew it. Thanks

Purchased.

Looking for a good I-IPA with a strong "fresh" hop backbone with a real abrupt dry finish. What do you guys suggest?

Cool not to shabby.

Will do, previously my brew process was time based. Just now starting to get more technical. The recipe says SG was 1.063. How would I calculate abv?

Well I topped off with water after pitching so I hope that has something to do with mouth feel. I brewed that on the 5th of this month and will bottle Sunday.

http://www.imgur.com/S17kd.jpeg So that's a reading for today. To correct for temp it is 1.014 correct? Which should mean its finished right? Still taste watered down, but I think that's cause I am pulling from the top. If there is less concentration on the top then that means the read is prob...
