heheh, Cool will do . Thanks Revvy I can't really tell from that Graph, but I'm assuming Beersmith will be able to tell me how much table sugar to use with the amount I have. Based on that photo, would you lean more towards 4.75? or about 5.0?

That's interesting. I am making a brown ale. So why the brown sugar? What are the benefits? does it improve the taste? How much would you need to put for say 5 Gallons? Well, I'm not even sure how much I have because I forgot to mark my carboy. I'm saying 4.75 - 5.0

I did the exact same thing on my first batch. I think I racked too soon as I have the same symptoms. I'm thinking of getting another kit today and this time I'm leaving in primary for at least 2 weeks if not more.

So I guess reading this post answers a question I was going to start a new thread with. The Kit I had bought did not require me boiling the wort, simply mixing liquid into water and pitching the yeast once the temp was between a certain range. Is this what's called an Extract kit?

Awesome !!! I hope my first batch of beer comes out the same !!! Have a pint for me :mug:

Day 4 All looks well as far as I can tell :) So right now, the temperature down there is sitting at about 10C (50F) I'm thinking this is OK for clearing in Secondary. I'll leave it in there for a month before going to bottle... I'm thinking, based on other threads, that that's a...

Yup, exactly what's going on, the yeast is slowly making its way to the bottom :mug: I did a light bump/nudge to the carboy which made some fall rather quickly to the bottom. So 50 should be cool for this stage?

I've already racked the batch from my Primary over to the secondary (my glass carboy). Active fermentation seemed to have finished as my hydrometer reading was at 1.019 for 2 days in a row and fell between the chart for this beer. I'm presently just letting it clear. So your saying 50...

Thanks for the help. So I should not be concerned at this point with the temperature? I know when its cool it will help to clear the beer faster, but I guess I'm not sure between what is "cool" and what is "Cold". Also, there are tiny little clusters of bubbles at the top of the beer, are...

Thanks for the input. Its already in secondary though... My concern at this point is the lack of any activity and if the temp down there is too low for the yeast. Should I run the thermostat and get the temp up to around that range? At this stage, does yeast require a good temperature range to...

wow, thanks for all the help. This site rocks. OG was 1.050 FG was 1.019 Range was 1.013 - 1.019. It was constant at 1.019 for 2 days so I racked it. It is from a Canadian Beer kit called "Baron's Premium" and its Brown Ale Its been sitting in the basement for 2 days in the dark, but I'm not...

Thanks everyone ... That's a relief!!! :rockin: Yea, the airlock is full of little bubbles at the moment. The photo was taken 20 mins after racking.

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the forum and this is my first attempt at brewing a batch of anything :) So I just finished racking from the primary fermenter over to a clean/sanitized glass carboy, but I did not have enough to fill it. What are my option? Does this mean Oxygen will be a...
