Thank you for the advice, aggieotis. I was surprised at how high the gravity was as well. I figured another 5 days or so and if it didn't drop I would go ahead and bottle. This is my first batch using Safale US-05. It has been fermenting at 70 degrees F in my basement. If the gravity...

I checked the final gravity of this batch (Budweiser clone) after 10 days in the primary. It was 1.015 and the beer looks and smells great. I plan on bottling this upcoming weekend and giving it a week or two to bottle condition and then I will post my tasting notes.

I brewed this exact recipe yesterday and it is fermenting away as I type. I will post my notes when it is finished. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Thank you midfielder5. I'll give this 2nd batch at least 3 weeks. This time I will try to let it sit in the bottle for at least 3 weeks as well. The waiting is by far the hardest part....

Thanks for the update. My batch has been in the bottle for almost 3 weeks. I drank a few after 8 days in the bottle. It had a bitter start, but a smooth finish. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. I drank a total of six over the course of a week and decided to wait until a full three weeks...

Thanks for the update. I am going to leave my kit batch in the primary for another week or so based on what I have read on this site. How long did you leave your batch in the primary? My directions said to check gravity at 5-7 days after initial brewing. My batch has been in the primary for...

Great information! Thank you kindly. I am going to up the temperature in my basement a few degrees and see how it goes. At 64 F I am getting steady bubble action in the airlock, but I want to make sure this batch turns out ok. Enjoy those bottles this weekend. I am jealous....a few weeks...

Androshen I was wondering if you could tell me at what temperature you fermented this beer. Mine is fermenting at 64 F and after reading some more threads in this forum I am beginning to think that this may be a little too cool. Thanks

Just got an email response from FerMax regarding if their yeast was gluten free: "Sorry we are unable to help you with your beer recipe. We are industrial use only. Thank you for your inquiry." Email response from Wyeast Labs regarding their yeast: "Our yeast is NOT gluten free...

Thank you david_42 and dkershner for the info. I am probably being overly cautious, but I know the consequences if I am not careful. Androshen- I feel the same way about the commercially available gluten free beers. They lack that bite. But they are better than nothing.:mug:

Thank you Androshen. I can assume that Fermax yeast nutrient is gluten free as well? I found the ingredients on their web page and it appears ok.

I just ordered the same kit. I did not get a yeast nutrient. May I ask which one you used?

I agree with Noontime. This site is wonderful. I have learned so much in the past few days from reading posts in this forum. The knowledge one can gain here is immense, and will certainly be beneficial to me as I embark on my home brewing journey.

Looks great! I am embarking on my first home brew (a gluten free honey ale) and I'm motivated by your work.
