Hi, I have another post about a Fat Tire clone I brewed last weekend. I have one quick question, the airlock has stopped bubbling after almost 7 days, should I do a gravity check on it yet or keep the carboy air tight for another week? Thanks, -- Trev

Checked the pics out and looks great! I learned some things too just from viewing! Thanks for the post and good luck with your batch! :) -- Trev

I'd love to see a pic of your 55k BTU burner if you would like to post a pic? I'm using a Camp Chef 60k BTU and it is fabulous! Thanks!

Thanks for all of the positive responses. I have one final question. I had a bit of over spilling when boiling the wort for 90 minutes and I ended up with only half a 6.5 gallon carboy worth. I pitched the whole vial of WLP051 liquid yeast which contains a net volume of 35 ml. Will this be...

OK, I love all of the responses. When I checked the fermenter this morning it was moving around like a wild beast and the airlock was bubbling at about 4 per 3 seconds. I just came home after the "Heaven and Hell" concert to find it subsiding at about 3 burps every 5 - 7 seconds with much less...

I threw mine in just prior to flame out with my first AG. I think it will be ok though, I hope. My wort seems pretty dark still in the fermenter but then again it's early on and it's a Fat Tire clone. It seems to me that whirlflock tablets are the same thing, is this true? What do you prefer...

I agree, I was anticipating the same thing! :(

Right. What I'm also worried about is that the airlock was not sealed properly for around 16 hours so it was breathing through the neck of the carboy? I now notice a good bubbling in the airlock (now that it's sealed properly) around every three seconds. I did not use a starter I just pitched...

I'd like to try a Heffe next. What was the recipe you used. Looks like you got some real good fermentation going there too! :) -- Trev

LOL! I made a mess too. over boiled the wort a few times, etc.. I added a new thread of the turmoil that unfolded. :) In fact, like your first AG brew day, mine was so hectic I never had the time or chance to take pics. I sure hope this one turns out alright. -- Trev

Yep, I planned on staying with the course, but wanted to see what you guys think as a second oppinion. BTW: I updated my recipe, I forgot to mention the hops and the mash and boil time. It definately smells like a good one. :p Thanks, -- Trev

My setup is the cheapest and easiest way to go. Buy two 5 gallon food grade buckets. drill about 100 1/8" holes in the bottom of one to use as your false bottom. Then just stick the bucket with holes in the bottom in another that has a spigot installed and buy a 18" x 24" Nylon filter bag for...

Ok, I did my first AG yesterday of a Fat Tire clone. Everything went pretty well until after I bottled the wort into my carboy. When I was installing the airlock I accidentally pushed the rubber stopper to far in that it fell into the glass carboy. I made several furious attempts to remove it...

I will be brewing my first AG batch of a Fat Tire clone tomorrow. I've already grown tired of extracts after my first 3 batches. So hence I embark on the journey of AG. Wish me luck and I'll update with pics and progress. I hope my first AG brew will go well, I've done a ton of homework on this...

I now have to fementers going. One is an all liquid extract of a dark red ale and the other is an all liquid malt extract of an IPA. With the red ale I added about an ounce of cascade hops in muslin sack after boiling the water and while adding ME and stirring. I have another week before...

Patience is the key! I am new too and I've learned that extra cleanliness and patience are the ultimate key!!! :)

Let me know how that Koelsch goes. I'd like your recipe too! :))

Does anyone have a 2 gallon finished recipe for a good dopplebock? I don't have the software to do the conversions. I would like to do a partial for a dopplebock and have a good understanding of ingredients but don't understand how to do the conversions. I am new to brewing and have...

Thanks Biermuncher Will do soon once I finish off the ingredients here. :) Don't want to waste the good stuff... :)

Thanks for the info dude! I just got my next ker fermenter and I plan on doing a "Holwin' Red Ale" Recipe is : Octoberfest's Vienna Lager beer mix and Golden Wheat UME and 1/3 oz Cascade hops. As for "dry hopping" is this just the practice of adding a muslin hop sack to the fermenter...
