good balance, very drinkable, soft and a touch sweet malt flavor. Goes great with mixed nuts. Affordable as it gets and overall a quality house beer.

A classic that's underappreciated by more discerning beer drinkers...Miller High Life.

Looks great. What would you say are the characteristic differences between it and a traditional dry stout made with an ale yeast?

Victory Golden Monkey.

This is a cream ale I made last summer that's easy and very drinkable. Nugget Cream Ale - Cream Ale (6A) ================================================================================ Fermentables ================================================================================ Name...

It should be fine. Because Kveik likes warm temperatures without giving off the flavors and esters that other strains would, the fermentation takes off and finishes a lot quicker. Also, the exothermic heat (heat from yeast fermenting) will keep it warmer even as it cools down to ambient temp...

In the future, when using a Kveik strain, pitch warm. Even if it cools to ambient temperature, much of the fermentation will happen at the strains appropriate temp. I pitch Kveik in the 90s F. 67 F is good for US-05 and other conventional strains.

How do you know it's not done? What temp did you pitch at? I'd take a reading. Bubbling isn't always a reliable sign. What's the temp range for that strain? No need to rush bottling. Could sit for weeks and be fine.

Penn Brewing Kaiser Pils. Delicious light pilsner.

I recently bought a case of a Czech beer called Primator. They're 11.2 oz bottles, and when I stuck them in a bucket of hot water with Easy Clean, the labels slipped off within seconds. I was bottling that day and had no intention of peeling the labels then, just cleaning the bottles. I ended up...

Thanks! I actually bottled before I saw this and anticipated 5 gallons. I go for 2.0 CO2 volume, so I'll be ok either way (a half gallon discrepancy appears to equal about 1/10 of 1 point of CO2 when aiming for about 2.0 volumes). Good to know for the future.

Looked everywhere for an answer, but couldn't find one. This is not a question of whether trub results in loss, as it obviously does. In my case, I made a 5.25 beer, and now the volume is sitting at 5 gal on bottling day, which is about what I expected. However, given that there's about a two...

Water. It's cold, crisp and has just a touch of flavor from the Troegs Dunkel that was in it before.

So it sounds like it's the Briess Pale Ale LME. That's 6 lovibond.

Haha. Ya, as @dmtaylor said, it's probably 3 or 4 srm.

I bought this today (it's being shipped) and I'm having a hard time believing its lovibond is as low as it says, 1.25. https://www.homebrewing.org/Pale-LME-Liquid-Malt-Extract-Syrup--5-lb_p_7978.html I've never seen LME lower than 2 or 3, and it was pilsen light. Thoughts? Asking because I'm...

Hydrometer. Also checked with water to see if the hydrometer was working properly. It still is.

I should clarify. I didn't change anything about the recipe: I used the ingredients I was given and did a 60 minute boil. I just didn't follow the instructions step by step. Steeping temperature was 150-160 F for 25-30 minutes. My brewing notes show nothing out of the ordinary. I stated in an...

No, but not my first rodeo and have had success with my usual routine. Temps may have been a little low for Nottingham, but I've seen people who had success with it in the mid-late 50s. I've had the primary at the top of my basement stairs for 5 days now at 66-68 degrees.
