not much I can do now but let it sit and see what happens. Never had to toss a brew down the drain.

thanks for the info, do most wine brewers just use the potassium metabilphate and not PBW and Starsan?

I pitched at 64 F with wyeast 3787 yeast at 269 Billion cells, the fermentation started the same day and went from 67 F to 77 F in 4 days then just crashed. The directions call for it to free rise to 77. The OG was a bit low at 1.076 compared to the 1.091 that is should have been. The gravity...

I have been brewing beer for years now and will be brewing a wine kit soon. While looking at directions on a wine kit I have a question about water. cleaning and sanitizing. While directions call for using Potassium Metabisulphate (which I use to get chlorine out of my water) this seems...

I will let this sit for a month or more and see if there are any better results. If not it will be the first I have tossed.

thank you for your input I was hoping that time would help. this is pretty new in that I brewed it 17 days ago. it was when I put it into the secondary that I tasted this. It is now in a keg and will wait a while before I bottle this out of the keg. The instructions call for it to sit for a...

Brewed a Westvleteren with the Candi Syrup recipe. It called for the temp to rise to 77 F, mine got to 77 F. I tried to follow the instructions made a big yeast starter that was 268 billion cells and let the fermentation rise freely then put it into my Fermenter box to get down to about 60 F...

kegged it filled with C02. tasted it with some brewer friends. I think this will be a really nice beer. Now to bottle it and let it sit for a long time.

Been brewing on mine for about 5 months now on my electric brewery. My blower is a 6 inch 410 CFM on a regular kitchen type hood. Wish I had gotten a bigger fan and the hood drips. It works pretty good other wise. I just keep wiping up the drips, but at some point I think I will get a bigger fan...

the OG into the fermenter was 1.076 without the candi syrup which looked about right (candi syrup in the primary, maybe I took the gravity before the candi syrup.. But the FG at 1.003 doesn't' look right, I am hoping I didn't look at the hydrometer right, but that sounds like something I would...

great thanks, always need that clean up time. I already put it into a secondary after 6 days, will leave it for a few more weeks. I normally let a high gravity (10% or more) beer sit in the primary for 2 - 3 weeks then secondary for a few months after that, I may be over doing it.. I like the...

I brewed the Wesvleteren 12 on Monday the 6/8/2020. the fermentation started the same day and did just what I expected and jumped from 65 to 80 with a nice brown foam. by 6/13 /2020 the foam had gone down and the gravity ended up at 1.003 ( I didn't expect it to get so low so soon...

just brewed the 3 gallon Westvleteren, out of the primary fermenter lots of plum, raisin and dark fruits. Looks like it is going to be close to the 10% ABV. Going into a secondary today, It will be hard to be patient for this one, instructions say I need to wait a year for it to get right. My...

thank you for the math for that it will be useful to me... and thank you for your help. People like you make my brewing more successful.

so doing a 3 gallon brew I would see maybe 3 gravity points added/? mmmm that would be more wouldn't it becasue less wort. after I thought about it.

If my gravity after the boil is 1.050 and I add 1 lb of D-80 in the fermenter what will my OG be ?

another question: why do profiles like brun water only show one profile why not show the mash and sparge profile. I don't know my sparge water profile from using brun water. Is this just the overall water?

what was your final water profile that you used for this?

when planning my water profile for mash and sparge should both be pretty much the same as far as the Ca, mg, Na etc. I have seen where some I have done the sparge if different from my mash profile. I am not talking about the salts added but the overall final profiles for each. I understand that...

Ya. Had that one for years now. They were my first internet provider at $7.00 a month....jes what happened.
