I'm not sure that it's stuck. Like I said, I'm gonna keep swirling + measuring for a few days. But thanks for the "stuck" vs "done" info. I'll probably end up bottling soon, I just hope I don't have bottle bombs. Would you advise to use less priming sugar than usual, in my case? Thanks!

I've got a 3-gallon IPA from extract that's been in primary (bucket) for 27 days, and the gravity is around 1.020. I had issues with this brew from the start. I had too much water boil off, and so only got 2 gallons from the kettle to bucket when I pitched the yeast. About 40 hours later, I...

Yesterday I brewed what was to be a 3-gallon extract batch of Columbus IPA, for which I'd cut down all the ingredients from a 5-gallon batch of the same beer I made about 6 months ago. In my naivete, I just thought that would be it -- 60% of the grain, LME, and hops, and I'd be good to go...

I've looked without luck for a (extract) clone recipe for Port Brewing Shark Attack : 9.5%ABV, balanced hops, dark red color. Any tips? The page above says "medium crystal malts," Centennial and Cascade hops, and an OG of 1.088. How much LME/DME should I use, how much hops should I add, and...

So I'll bite. The questions I have after looking at starter calculators like the one at yeastcalc.com are: 1. How much *water* should I start with to end up with a "X.Y liter" (e.g., 1.5L) starter? 2. How long does it take to to get to the quoted "Total cells at finish"? Oh, on the "Care and...

I'm a newbie too, but basically: don't fret. Lack of airlock activity means nothing. Only stable gravity readings over the course of a few days means fermentation is done.

My buddy and I brewed up a 5g full boil extract "Best Bitter" last Sunday. OG was 1.045, everything seemed fine. On this, my third batch, I created a 2L starter about 24 hr before pitching; yeast was active in the starter at pitch time. Here I am 5 days later, with zero activity in the...
