The FG should have been reached in my humble opinion because of the higher more active temps. Something tells me my sugars are too complex. I taste a hint of sweetness, though I dont mind it, I just want it to fall with in an acceptable lager taste. I will never through out beer-"for better...

hmm, i didnt design this grain bill. so if it doesnt ferment out, stuck with an high FG? should i consult Beno to fix this problem? or some kind of amylase enzyme? I am not sure if it tastes buttery. Tastes like warm beer to me. So I dont think its diacetyl. I agree that the gravity is...

ah sorry about the misspelling...*bringing

On my last brew, I used plastic rap for the primary and secondary. No ill effects. Though an airlock is always better.

Well frank, thanks for the correction on the nomenclature in reference to the Czech and grain choice. Check-I understand now. Yes, I did double decoction on it. Crazy amounts of grain husks. Too late now. Check-lesson learned. Well, its still going to be a lager, I used huskless grains...

So took a Gravity reading. I am sitting at 1.016. Tastes pretty good. Seems thick in mouth feel. anyone care to chime in on the last two posts?

I personally like klosch style yeast. they ferment very clean and are very versatile at 70F. They cold condition beer very well because of their lower fermentation temperatures 55F.

So my gravity was retarded high. I cut it in half and I got 1.067. I was only planing to make 2 gallons, but I had so much trube that I would only get a gallon's worth of beer from it (if left un cut). I had a hard time fermenting it. The temps were not right so it sat dorment for a while...

anyone? anyone?

48 views...so i am guessing I did a perfect job then. haha. well one more question if you guys do not mind.... I have a crap load of trub. I only have about 1.5 inches of clear liquid. Will this ever settle out? Am I going to have to let it filter through some cheese clothe to remove it??

Ahh, well thats good to hear! Thanks for the good news. Though I would drink it with a smile anyways...:fro:

I will look into it. I got it from my uncle who deals with antiques. He was just going to sell it off. He is no armature. I assume its not worth too much because he gave it away to me. It's worth a lot to me because its my Great Grandpa's.

I took a sample. Bitter. Not tannis. Just too many hops. My friend wanted a hoppier beer and we split the batch. Smells great. Just a little bitter for my tastes. I would beg to say its bitter as IPA. But not grassy. Just bitter from Alpha Acids. I hope a few weeks of conditioning...

No false bottom. Working on that. Any liquid was passed through a fine mesh filter colander to keep that stuff out. Obviously, you cannot catch everything. Its not giant pieces of husks. Its about as fine as play sand. Its a layer of speckled particles no thicker than 1/4 of a centimeter. I...

No. I did not take it above 170 during mash. I will try to filter it a little better. Its not like the whole bottom is husks. Its like a hand full of sand on the bottom of the fermenter. The rest looks like yeast.

lol. i know tannis from hop bitterness. no confusion there.

oops. sorry. I missed up on the terminology....no I did not boil the grains. I know thats a no-no. sorry for the confusion.

::this is an UPDATE:: So I racked into a secondary fermenter, I had a TON of sediment...See this link https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/lot-sediment-165295/ . I did not expect that much. I tested my gravity. I am sitting at 1.012ish give or take .001 SG. The color has not changed much. Still...
