you could try to rouse the yeast a bit by swirling the fermentor and maybe try to warm it up a bit. That might get it going a little bit to get you to the finish line. Did you use a starter? For high gravity beers, you should get your yeast cell count pretty high so your yeast doesn't get...

Awesome, can't believe I've never thought of doing that!

Recipe? :)

I've got a question. I brew 5 gallon batches, should I just use 2 pint mason jars to store the washed yeast, or can I use the 4 like Bernie does?

I like your site Deepsea :)

That's mainly just yeast falling toward the bottom when you bottle condition your beers. When I pour a beer from a bottle, I pour carefully and try to leave about a quarter inch left in the bottle with the yeast sediment. Nothing to worry about, enjoy!:mug:

This stuff smells amazing coming out of the airlock!! I really can't wait to drink this stuff! I didn't use any hops or any wheat. But, this should still be very very tasty. Thanks for the recipe idea Brandon O! :)

I can't wait to see how mine turns out. I figured it was something new to try and different. I'm excited to taste it when it's ready!

5 gallons for me today. 312+5=317

LMAO! I think I might need to try that for my Monday commute. :D

I would just let it be. I found when I tried to add some water it messes up the gravity measurement because you really have to mix it well. A half gallon short isn't that bad. :)

Awesome humann, glad to see you're back in business! I think my compressor just plain died..:( I've got an older GE fridge..oh well.

Humann, I'm in the same boat. I don't have a temp controller, but I was using the beer fridge to store the bottled beer. When I opened the fridge one day, it was just blowing out regular air. Does anyone know if I just need more freon, or is the whole compressor shot??

Your beer will be fine. There is a nice blanket of CO2 on top of your beer that will protect it during fermentation. :) Heck, there are a lot of people here that don't use airlocks, and their beer turns out great. :)

Next time just say 15 gallon brew kettle. :):D

That would be brewmasters warehouse. :mug:

+1 Good idea! :)

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang that's crazy dude.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That was going to be my question! :)

Welcome Beard!!! Bunker Hill ain't too far from Stephens City!:mug:
