OK, thanks. I think my order of purchase will be Flask for yeast starting, fridge, temp controller, turkey fryer

If I were to buy a turkey fryer, would it seriously upgrade my final product? Or is it more important to focus on securing a fermentation chamber? I see you can get them for around $60 from Home Depot. I currently just use a 26 qt pot on my stovetop. I have a wort chiller, so that would be...

It tasted very similar to the pre-gelatin sample. My palate honestly isn't that great yet. Sorry.

I....don't....know....what...to....say. The sample is clear as DAY, and somewhat light? (which is somewhat unfortunate being that its a wheat, but whatever, as a brewer, I learned how to clear my beer, that's what I care about, becoming a better brewer. I will still post a picture in a bottle...

Cheers to that!! Thanks for the theories guys, and everyone else for the entertainment. Will check back in 2 weeks with a thiefed sample.

I mean, im a noob, but it was at the expected FG for 3 days, was in the primary for 14 days total before racking and addition of gelatin. Could there still be fermentation after that?

Supporter of what? Harassment? I mean i can handle it, hes just a person on the internet. Irrelevant to me.

Very helpful, snob.

Haha, thanks Doug. It was more about wanting to try gelatin. Wish i used it on my kolsch and left the wheat cloudy.

I cant imagine what shenanigans id be pulling. If i was, it eould be costing me 5 hours of my life and $40. I think the recipe was 3.3# lme 2# wheat dme and 2 of another dme. I didnt add anything extra, and the beer tasted decent as i racked to the secondary. Havent tasted this yet, dont...

No, I don't believe it was grape gelatin. It was gelatin from my LHBS, so I'm assuming it is absolutely da bomb gelatin made for this purpose. I'll definitely post a picture of this in a clear bottle when I get back!

Haha, reviving an old thread, but when you make the concentrate, do you literally just put 4 oz of grounds and mix it with 8 oz of water in a bowl (or something), and then strain the concentrate?

Honestly, the flash from my camera made this look a lot lighter than it does to the naked eye as well.

1st two were just taken. It seems to be lightening at the bottom. Anxious to see what it looks like when I get back from my trip. Hopefully it isn't stripping the light from my beer and thats why its lighter at the bottom... haha.

I'll post in a minute. It is partially bad lighting, as when I take it out, its not AS bad. But it is definitely something I have not seen before, and it is definitely still DARK brown.

I've attached pictures of the beer after racking, and then what I found in the morning after the gelatin took hold. In the 3rd picture, you can see little blobs, those look to be pieces of gelatin. I just poured it in. Was I supposed to stir or anything? I wouldn't want to oxidize...

OK, so I made a Brewer's Best Witbier, and everything was going great. Fermented down to the prescribed final gravity, smelled great, sample tasted decent after 2 weeks in the primary. Then came the black death. I racked to a secondary carboy (brand new, but I washed with Oxy clean, then...

I had a similar issue making a Rogue Oatmeal Stout clone today. I feel like I either A. Boiled off a TON of the wort, or B. didn't get enough of the water out of the grain bag (held it forever, was barely dripping when I threw it out). I ended up with about 2 gallons of wort, so I added enough...

OK, I sanitized with vodka too. I'm thinking it'll be OK, between possible rising yeast, or a multitude of other things, I'm just going to move forward as usual. I'll try to get a pic as soon as possible.
