Sorry - too much info. My Secondary is definately ready for bottling. It is my primary I was concern with. Yesterday SG of 1.036, bubbling every 45 sec.

Thanks guys!! I will proabably rack on Sunday...7 days. The sample was bitter, I didn't discern a sweet tate. I took a sample from my secondary (American Amber), it had a SG of 1.012. Ready to bottle this weekend. It tasted very good (Hoppy), so the flavor of my primary (Fat Tire Clone) was...

WIll the SG continue to fall from this point, even with little to no activity?

Well, I was afraid of this...SG reading was1.036 down from 1.064. Should be around 1.014. Now I am getting a bubble every 30 seconds with, and the circulation is gone..now just sttling. Should I re-pitch?

I will take a reading tomorrow. I already gave it a swirl, what about temp. Will raising it up a few degees, maybe 70 kick start some more activity. I am baseing this on my past 3 attempts, which I had a solid 3 days of vigerous fermentation, and about 3" of Krausen (blew off on 1st).

OG 1.064...haven't taken 2nd measurement yet. Didn't want to inerrupt whatever fermentation I had left.

After 2 days?

Hello, On Batch #4 Brewed on Sunday. Almost 6 hours later, I got a vigorous ferment going. By the mon. morning, there was about 1"of Krausen at the top. I though everything was going great. However, today after work, the Krausen was near gone, and activity has slowed considerably. There...

Herc - Go Rams...Also a CSU alum ('97)... Yes, I also go to Beer at Home on Broadway and approx. Belleview (4393 S Broadway). They are much smaller, but you get more personalized attention. I like both stores, but Beer at Home has is open on Sunday, which is when I'm finding is the best...

Okay - Friday:drunk: Not ready to do a lot of research (Newbie) What is an IPA?

Thanks Herc...Let me know. BTW, That's the same LHBS I use. CO...Representing :rockin:

Yes, That was the featured recipe on the home page. What I did was do a search on Fat Tire, and came up with 15-20 recipies, and I figured I would select one that had many "views". Also, the recipe attached looks good, but I'm not sure exactly what a partial mash is (Infusion or Temp...

#4 I'm thinking a Fat Tyre Clone (Extract). I found one on: http://www.beertools.com/html/recipes.php Are these good recipies? This will be my first w/o a kit (instructions)... Any techniques/suggestions for this batch. :confused:

Sure as sh#@, it does. Page 107. Thanks Janx:) One thing I have not been doing, but will. It also says the cold tap water added to hot wort may already contain dissolved oxygen, that must have been my saving grace. You are right though, I do need to branch out.

The last few posts have talked about Aeration. Why do this? My first three Kits did not mention this, and I can't recall reading this in Papazian's book. Fermentation seemed to be pretty vigorous on all (3)???

Hello - I posted my first message on Saturday about removing hops pellets from primary. I have since been reading many of the posted messages. Aside from brewing beer, I am finding just as interesting reading about it as well. I have learned more reading hte messages on this site than...

When you refer to a "#5019-Wheat-2", what is the #5019. Is this a recipe from a certain book?

Good article...Thanks! As I progress, it appears I will have to pay more attention to removing particulates. I'm Brewing a Kit "American Amber" . 6lbs Light Malt Extract Syrup 3/4 lb Crystal Malt 1/8 lb Victory Malt 1oz Simcoe Hop Pellets @ boil 1/2 oz Centennial Hops @ 30 min 1/2 oz...
