SG was constant. It never dropped at all.

Well, I had strong fermentation activity 5-6 hours after pitching, so my wort was definitely fermentable. I guess something was wrong with my yeast. Maybe it got too hot in shipping and even with the starter I was massively under pitching. Still seems like I should have had some kind of...

Just wanted to update the thread. I was just now able to get to the LHBS to pick up some dry yeast. I pitched it today, 10 days after brewing. There looks to be a slight infection starting, but I pitched to packets of yeast. Maybe they can outrun the infection. If not, I’ll just throw it out...

I’ve got another starter going as we speak. I hope the wort holds out long enough to get it done. It’s gonna take at least two, maybe three steps to build up enough yeast as it’s an old, expired pack.

I don’t really smell fermentation. Maybe just ever so sightly I can get a faint smell of CO2 in my fermentation chamber. But maybe it’s my imagination. I’ve always used homebrewdads starter calculator, which is based on braukaisers formulas, and have never had issues before this one.

Calcium chloride, epsom salt, gypsum, and phosphoric acid for water chemistry. Whirlfolock and 1/2 tsp white labs yeast nutrient at the end of the boil. Star San sanitizer. Other than that, nothing is added to the brew.

Not sure. I used brewdads calculator. I’m thinking it’s a combination of weak yeast and not enough time on the stir plate. I have an even older pack of 2206 in the refrigerator. I may try building it up and repitching with it. I just don’t know how long I can let the wort sit without it...

That’s what I’m worried about and leaning towards.

Mash temp was 150° with a. Calibrated thermometer these reads 32° in ice water and 212° in boiling water.

Starter was made with three month old yeast. It spent 48 hours on a stir plate and showed normal activity that I’ve seen on all my other starters. After 48 hours, it was cold crashed. It’s a bucket fermentor and I did recheck gravity today with no change. I have an ink bird controller taped to...

I’ve got a lager in the fermentation chamber that will just not take off and start fermenting. I’m not a rookie brewer. I have lots of brews under my belt and have never had a failure until now and I don’t know what’s going on. The beer is a 5 gallon schwarzbier with an OG of 1.058 that was...

What are the dimensions of these? Trying to see if they will fit in my kegerator.

I guess they could, but honestly, I wouldn’t trust any of the shipping services to not bust them all to pieces.

Bump. Need the space in my storage closet. If these don’t go soon, gonna throw them out.

I’m guessing I have 100-200 total. Mostly 12 oz. Few pint size. I’m legging everything now and have no use for them. I’d rather give them to someone who can use them rather than throw them away. Located near Waco, Tx.

I’m interested in the burner. I’m assuming it’s the hellfire? Where are you located?

I’m going to have to bow out this time. I got busy at work. Maybe next time.

Put me in tentatively. I’ve got 2 beers on tap, one in the fermentation chamber and a starter going to brew a fourth.

I can’t have any beer ready in time for this round. My in laws were here over Christmas and obliterated my pipeline. If I do participate, it would be April or May before I could catch up and ship, due to my upcoming work schedule, and that’s probably nt fair to y’all. I guess I’ll sit this one...

Got the group 2 abbey weizen today. One dead soldier in the box. The bottle didn’t break, just the cap leaked. That’s the only one I lost out of this whole deal, a homebrew trade, and a local only trade. Not too bad at all.
