    Why the high Gravity?

    Thx. I am pretty sure I did not get a proper mix of the wort and water addition...nor did i get proper aeration. I appreciate the words of advice. I am definitly a NEWB and mistakes are made. But tried a bottle last Thurs. and besides being young (1 weekin the bottle) it was really good.

    Why the high Gravity?

    I have never had to use a starter for any beer under .070 this beer had took approximately 12 hours before it was flat out rolling. In my 6.5 Gal Carboy the Krausen started to get into my airlock. and i measured and marked a 5 gal. mark on it. Check out this link for White Labs. I do...

    Why the high Gravity?

    I pitched one vial of WLP300 @ 62 deg. Fermented @ 65 deg. Aerated by pouring Wort into Carboy then pouring water into wort through funnel. I would expect an attenuation of 72%-76%

    Why the high Gravity?

    Thanks Revvy I understand that the OG was not correct. I used Pro Mash Software and came up with an est. OG of .069 using that as my highest possible gravity my est. FG would be .012-.015 sound right?

    Why the high Gravity?

    I have never tried to duplicate any recipe. I always make it my own...more of this...less of that. I added some malt to the original recipe. Thanks for the comment.

    Why the high Gravity?

    Thanks for the clarity. I have never had that problem before but makes sense. Doesnt the FG still seem a little high?

    Hello from Norfolk VA

    I also use Homebrew USA They have recipes on the wall there. I just did a Wheat recipe they had and it turned out excellent. I have recruited two friends recently and they bought kits from HBUSA. I strongly recomend trying them out.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer McAustin's Mocha Stout (w/cold-brewed coffee)
