I know that counting the bubbles coming from the airlock isnt a big deal and doesnt really mean squat. BUT Psylocide!!!! I tried your ghetto towel trick I DID NOT bump or jerk the carboy one time and the bubbling went from 1/50sec to 1/6sec. I think it is safe to assume some of the yeast that...

K. the only way im going to get the carboy temp up is carefully walking the carboy upstairs.... is it worth the risk if im super careful?

The outside of the carboy is at 60 F. I stirred the wort. Transferred it into carboy, poured in yeast and it shook and stirred while i walked the 5 gallons down the stairs to the basement. - What do others think about the adding of the corn sugar? is it worth it?

Hydrometer.

When I take gravity readings I have been taking samples...purely academic of course ;) . The clearity is good, the smell is spot on and the taste is peeerrrttty darn good as well. So i cant wait to dry hop it and get it in bottles asap. Plus! That way, it being in secondary will free up the...

What shall i do about the stalled beer? I have heard of this 1.020 curse. I did use LME as my malt and the Gravity has been stalled at 1.020 since monday (day 7 in Primary). Should i rack to secondary and dry hop tonight (day 11 Primary)? or wait until monday (day 14 in Primary)? I doubt the...

My gravity has been stalled at 1.020 for a couple days now. i plan on taking a reading again in two days. if nothing has changed i think im gonna rack it. Any thoughts? Should i rack my beer on top of the pellets into the carboy? Pellets at the bottom, then beer racked onto the top?

Bueller.....?

I do have a 6.5 gal bucket and an 8 gal bottling bucket that are open but i have avoided brewing in them... I typically only use the 8 gal on bottling day. Thanks grimm! One thing i was hoping to get more responses on was the narrowing of the 5.25 gal recipe to 5 gals and eliminating only the...

Sooo. I have a dilemma and am seeking advice. 1) I have a 5 gallon beer in primary in my 6 gal carboy, (I do plan on dry hopping it in the next week or so.) I do not want to transfer this beer to secondary unless totally necessary. So i need some advice on starting the next beer. 2) I...

When i was new to brewing i chose super short recipes. My first beer was a simple California stout. I had bottled after only 9 days and It turned out exceptionally well. It tasted pretty good on the first sample and got better as the weeks past. I struggled with carb in the bottle conditioning...

Just got hooked up with a good simple 5.25 gal "American Stout" recipe. .50 oz Mag. .36oz Perle. Can post it if anyone wants it. Let me know. Thanks for the posts guys, much appreciated. Brew on.

Awesome. Thanks guys. THANKS JOSH, that link was badass, I read the whole thing. I like the views on kegging too guys. I knew joining this forum was a good idea. I have gotten lots of great feed back from you guys and have learned alot. I greatly appreciate the support. Brew on guys, and...

Agreed. Thanks grevs. let me know how she turns out. I think im gonna bail on the secondary for now. even though the recipe advises secondary. I need to get into kegging... i get alot of flack from the brewsupply guys because i havent converted yet. Im a broke college kid. lol

Ive been looking around for a while and am struggling to find the recipe for the Bitterroot brewery Last Cast Black IPA. It is one of my favorite beers, my favorite Black Ipa (with Laughing Dogs Dogzilla at a close second.) -Was hoping someone would know where to find it if they dont already...

From Spokane Wa. We have about 30+ breweries. Twelve string is in biking distance!!!! Selkirk abbey just over the state line in Idaho is the ****!!! look out for them. they are going to a household name. World class Belgian beers!

Cool thanks guys. I am pretty new but have brewed a couple handfuls of batches in the last 7 months. Like I posted in the first post i usually buy only the ingredients i need, nothing more nothing less. Bought from a new place this time and have left over hops. Was hoping i could find even like...
