it's been on carpet. others say the higher gravity would take longer than a week to finish. maybe it shud have taken a week provided I made a bigger pitch. I'm keeping it at around 72F for now. I think another week is in order before I check the gravity. seems crazy to leave something fermenting...

Hey guys! This morning I checked the temp and it was at 73F and I swirled it around last night and again this morning. I came back home and I am counting about 27seconds between bubbles from the airlock now! It's back alive!!!!!!! I'm stoked! BUT, is it okay for it to be at 73F? Should I...

:confused:

nice label!

I've heard good thing about the US 05 yeast. I might try that for my next batch.

im gonna do just that! thanks for the tip. i leave my comp on all the time and it's gets up to 74F in that room haha.

yea beersmith tells me I should use a 206 billion starter. I think beersmith was right.

yea the theramstats upstairs and it's been fermenting downstairs, so i guess downstairs is a minus 3 or 4 difference. I'm going to take it upstairs and swirl it and wait a week.

I think I have a stuck fermentation. This is my 2nd batch ever. My original gravity was 1.07 on January 14th, and I just measured it today (Jan27th) and it's at 1.038. I tasted it and it's actually really delicious, but it's still quite sweet and sticky. It's probably completely my fault, but...

I would think that ur hops would lose significant flavor and aroma if u didn't refrigerate ur beer. Thad be a shame to waste fresh hops.

here's my label for my first batch:

yes just the LME. I r just steeping the crystal for more body. that's strange, don't British hops in general have less alphas?

Also.. I did a late boil on the malts. Started with 2lb LME and added the last 6 lb at 10 min remaining.

I'm curious, why no crystal malts? Hop Schedule: 35 mins 1.0 Centennial 35 mins 0.5 Chinook 35 mins 1.0 Nugget 10 mins 1.0 Kent Golding 5 mins 0.5 Cascade All the dry hopping hops added after 5 days, and left for a week.

8 lb Alexander's Pale Extract 1 lb Crystal 60L 1oz Centennial 1oz Chinook 1oz Kent Golding 1oz Cascade 2oz Nugget *0.5oz of cascade dryhopped *0.5oz of chinook dryhopped *1oz of nugget dryhopped 6oz hops total 4.3 gallon batch. wyeast 1056 Thanks bros!

dry-hopping adds to flavor too, not just aroma. right?

yup it's a 5 gal batch. and thanks for the welcome!:mug:

sup ppl! from escondido, ca and fermenting my 2nd batch ever. my first batch kinda sucked.. it was a true brew ipa. i think i scorched it a bit. my 2nd batch is a 30 min boil extract with 6oz of hops. :D since i boiled less and stirred more.. it shouldnt scorch, and using way more...
