I used half pound of Crystal 150, 1 pound of Amber Malt, both steeped, and 4,5 pounds of DME Pale. This for a 2,5 gallong batch.

No, i'm using a hydrometer to make my readings.

I was even afraid i had overpitched. I used two packages dry yeast for a 2,5 gallon recipe. I did aerate a lot (three not planned bucket transfers lol). I basically used bleach for sanitizing.

I used 500g Amber Malt and 250g Crystal 150L for steeping. And then added 2kg of DME Amber and bring to boil. Boiling for 60 minutes, adding hops. Cool it, added yeast (safbrew T-58) with the wort at 23ºC. It fermented at this temperature for the first 12 hours than i brought it to below 20º...

I am brewing a Imperial IPA, with a OG of 1.082, using DME and steeped grain of Crystal and Amber malts, using Safbrew T58 for fermenting. After 2 weeks it got to 1.029. Yesterday, 4 days later, i had another reading and is still stuck at 1.029. These last four days it has been fermenting...

Back to you here guys. Another gravity readign of my brew today, 4 days after the last one. And i got, again, 1.029. It was fermenting at a higher temperature range for the last four days (between 20º and 23º, sometimes a little higher) and it seems it's stuck. Well, i did what i have read in...

Thanks! I will do some gravity checks next week, see how it progress. I will bottle only if the gravity has stopped dropping coimpletely. If it takes another week, so be it!

Hey guys, i'm almost finishing fermenting my first batch, and i was thinking to make another one as soon as I free the fermentor. I have some ingredients that remained from my first batch and was thinking to make a small batch using them, and hopping that you could help me to come up with a...

Getting back here with you guys to share the progress of my brew. Well, today, after 2 weeks fermenting i took another SG reading and it showed 1.029 (last week i've got 1.036). That alcohol aroma and flavor it is still there, but way less strong than the week before. It smells more like beer...

About this "hot alcohol" taste. You say that is fusel alcohols and they won't leave the beer once you got them. Well, i had my first batch fermenting for 1 week and took a sample and it had this hot alcohol, tasting much like wine. Some said me that it was normal, it was just green beer. And...

But in that case, would be better transfer the beer to a second fermentor or could i leave it where it is, along with the yeast cake?

But in that case, would be better change for a secondary fermentor or i could just leave it where it is along with the yeast cake?

Yeah, i'm aware that the fermentation process is not done yet. But i could say that the primary fermentation is done judging by that drop in gravity and the trub having settled? I'm planning leaving it fermenting along with the yeast cake for another 2 weeks, then rack it and bottled for...

Hi guys, back here. Well, passed that thing with autolisis i'm here to share the progress of the beer. Today, almost 7 days fermenting, i took another gravity reading, and got 1.036 (it started on 1.082) and the trub has settled. I took a sip of it, and it tasted a little bit like wine...

Thanks everyone! I was just for taking it out of my head. I'll keep it fermenting for the planned three weels and then going for racking and bottling. When it's ready i came back to share the results with you!

Yeah, i'm aware about the dryhopping for IPAs, but as i was not too much sure about the process, i left it for another time. AnOldUR, in case of temperature control, do you think that this variation of around 6 degrees (62F to 68F) (in terms of celsius it's just 3 degrees) is very poor? I...

Hi guys, thanks for quick feedback. Skeptidelphian, no it's not a 30 bbl batch using a conical fermentor. In fact it's a really small first batch, someting like 3 gallons. And Pratzie, i also don't have the means to cold crash my beer, i just have to hope that the three weeks fermentation time...

Hi guys, i'm new around here and maybe your already have answer this question somewhere, but here is the deal. I'm brewing my first batch right now. I'm using malt extract and steeped grain to brew an Imperial IPA (at least i intend it to be). The original gravity for it was of 1.082, and...
