My mash was steady at 150 which is what I was looking for, but, I just checked, and its up to 180. I'm doing a partial mash, Did I ruin it?

I will, appreciate all the info

or maybe even going half goldings half hersbrucher, I think they were pretty close in alpha acidity, then finish with 14 grams of saaz. yep thats what i'm going to do.

Probably loose the last golding addition and do 7 grams of the saaz at 2.9aa and maybe 7 or less of the herbruckers. Might be a little off, but rather to much than to little

Thinking a decent amber, not to hoppy, similar to one of the west coast ambers.

Also, appreciate the quick reply

Thats about what I was shooting for. I'm trying to figure my IBUs and wondering If I should go more on the Goldings, or more on the saaz and williamette. The goldings have an aa of 6.9, while the saaz is 2.9 and the williamette is 4.3. I don't know about the Hersbrucker though. Just going to...

Oh and lets say 24 IBUs

First off, Does it matter what sugar I use to prime with? And Second is there a scale or chart that gives me an idea of how much of certain sugars to use in my 5 gallon batches? I have a surplus of organic cane and turbinado sugar, thats why I ask.

The beer was most definately done fermenting, it was put in the Secondary with a gravity of 1.012. From what I've been reading, alot of ales will drop .001 or .002 in the secondary. Maybe from the sediment clearing.

I recieve alot of plasic 5 and 6 gallon buckets at my work. The buckets are used for foodstuffs and so on so I imagine it to be quality plastic. Just wondering what number plastic is need for brewing? I use a fermenting bucket, and a carboy for my secondary. If I can use these other buckets as...

The taste, in my opinion, is right on. Everything so far has gone according to plan. Simple first time brew. I don't want to rush it, but excitement abounds. Plan on taking another hydo reading on sunday, and if its the same, we are bottling.:rockin:

Anyways, my first batch ever has been sitting in its secondary for a week now. I siphoned out a small bit, using very steril precautions, just to see how its coming along. Initial gravity was 1.042, but that was about 77 degrees, so we will say 1.044. At the stage its at right now, the...

Sorry German Hersbrucker. And I have another question, should this be an AG, or do you think I could do a partial mash with a pale extract?

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a good Teton Ale recipe. There website gives you the malts, hops, and OG, but nothing on proportions. Being the smart brewers alot of you are, I figure some one here has or can help me get close. The ingrediants are as followed Malts: Idaho 2-Row Pale...

Yeah, it was foaming so much, I thought it might be rabid. I just took a hydrometer reading, and it read 1.012. Gave it a little taste, mmmmm. I'll check it the next couple of days, then transfer to my secondary if all stays the same. Color looks good, comparable to a Sierra pale, tad darker in...

OK thanks alot, all the info is very helpful. I know what I must do now. I think

Ok just to be clear, is that an additional 2 to 3 weeks, or 2 to 3 weeks total, and would it be wise to transfer to a secondary after 10 days, and leave it there for 2 weeks?

Yea I'm priming in the bucket. Appreciate the concern though.
