I boiled up a starter on a Friday night to pitch on Sunday afternoon. Our plans are changing and I would really like to brew today (Saturday) and pitch circa 4:00. I'm wanting to pitch in a few hours which will put us at the 18-19 hour mark. But, I don't want to ruin 5 gal of belgium wit...

I haven't calibrated it so I can not for sure know it is 100% accurate. I can say that there is movement, and other brews appear close. I have some distilled water, I'll take a peek to see where it falls. Thanks for the tip.

I haven't added the coffee yet. Its still in the primary and plan on adding either french press or expresso (cold) when it goes into secondary.

I didn't make the starter because as you indicated in your post, my expected OG was 1.59. The mistaken yeast should have actually done better than what I originally ordered due to the better attenuation. Aeration is something that we have, so far, done a really good job on. This is our 5th...

Hi folks, This is a follow-on to a recipe that had with too high a OG. The recipe and problems are documented here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/og-too-high-wrong-yeast-82371/ According to Beer Tools Pro I was expecting an OG of 1.59. I added too much molasses and ended up with...

Thanks for the confirmation. I re-checked the Belgian today, and it was at 1.0105 well under the expected FG and no noticeable air-lock activity. I moved this to a secondary for conditioning. I'm undecided on staying there for 2 weeks, might go to bottle after one seeing as it was on the...

Hi, I DID read the long sticky on Primary-to-Secondary. Thanks for everyone that posted. I would have added to that, but I didn't think my question or potential answers would benefit the thread. I have two worts in primary and hope to get answers on both. If I need two posts, please let...

Thanks everyone for the help. I'm going to wait it out, I have the equipment to keep on brewing. How To Make Beer - Part One | Homebrewing Video - Beer Making & Brewing Videos is the video I referred to. To the authors credit, I didn't even follow his advice well. I view this video...

Thanks for the help. So exactly how should I use "special grains? The video's I googled showed starting from room temperature with grains in, and bringing to a boil - followed by a 10-15 min steep. I have Palmers "How to brew" book and thought I got that part right.

Hi, This is my 5th brew and my first "DIY" recipe. I have three questions. Back Story: Wort boiled up beautifully. Dark and thick like I wanted. Was really pumped with the color and consistency up to the point I measured OG and looked at the yeast. 1) My local provider sold me the...
