However it calls for the beer to be racked before fermentation is complete

The yeast used was safe ale us 05, package says 65-75 temp range. I had my primary covered with a bath towel but when it got 74 I removed the towel and its down to 71-72 now the room it's in has a temp of 64-65

My wife was just laughing her butt off to that

First, thank you for not judging, second my wife was just staring while I was doing it calling me an idiot. For her comments I made her do it as well

I will say I can already smell the hops coming through the airlock. I'm sure smelling spent CO2 is not the best but I can't seem to get my nose away from the airlock

Y not rack? Wouldn't this clean up more sediment and clean the beer providing a truer flavor

My question is I'm going to rack to a 6.5 gal carboy and dry hop with another oz of the Falconers flight hops. The instructions say in 4-6 days. However other people say 7-10 days but before fermentation is complete. I don't want to open the bucket this time as I want this to turn out good. How...

So I'm about 36 hours after yeast pitch of my 2nd ever batch. I think this one will be good as I hit everything on the mark this time and instilled some tips for steeping the grains I saw on here. Compared to my 1st batch the fermentation seems much more active bases on the activity in the...

No I'm going to bottle it today as its been in the primary a few weeks. I figure it is my first ever batch and I can't expect much from it. Talked tithe guys at my LHBS today and they said it doesn't look infected but I screwed up somewhere as my FG is very low. At least by bottling it today it...

Good to know

Thanks for the info I ended up purchasing a propane unit off Amazon so I should get that in the next couple of days. I'm going to start brewing outside as it seems the better option. I just don't know if anyone can tell from those pictures if that foamy bubbling is a contamination or not

Help?? Ok so I could resist and had to take another hydro reading . Now I am at 1.000, still smells like stale beer and of course I had to taste it, not too good :-( I'm not sure if I should see this one through or dump and start again? I'm sure it will taste better once I get it bottled and it...

All I see is poop hole stout on the glass

Yes I think I'm a fan of it as all 6 empty bottles are sitting on the counter now :-)

All good info guys, I just thought of it when I put a load into the dishwasher tonight no jet dry as it is a new washer and I have been lazy and haven't gone out to get any yet. I think gonna do both. The dishwasher first because they are not my bottles, my buddy that runs a bar have me a bunch...

So just a question, my dishwasher has a sanitize setting on it. Anybody else has have this and would it be the same as using starsan?

Thanks for all the help everyone! Time to enjoy some store bought beer since I'm still waiting on mine

Sam Adams Hopology Latitude 43, guess its new for 2013 and I'm kind of liking it, what's your thought? Anyone try it yet?

Ok so I just picked this up as my first batch is still brewing. I think it is kind of tasty and a good mouth feel. Also I love the aroma. I'm just getting into this beer thing so what's your thoughts anyone try this yet. I guess it's new for 2013

Ha, that's hilarious! I was waiting for someone to pick up on the baby bottles. My little boy has to sleep sometime and I have become an insomniac over the past 5 months so I have plenty of time not to mention trying to sell this house and build a new one at the same time. That's good u don't...
