Update: was feeling impatient as usual. There was 0 sign of fermentation after about 30 hours. First pitch was hydrated ec1118. This time I made a starter with 1/4 cup dextrose, pinch of nutrient and some apple juice. About 1 hour and she was havin a party. Every 30 mins after that I added...

In the proccess? Just pitched it this morning. Sounds good. Old ladies excited. If you meant where u at geographically. BC canada

No energizer within 200 km. used yeast nutrients. Keeping it about 26-27C. Hope she goes

This gunna work without the energizer?

Seems to have settled at 1.014. Good enough for me. Got the go ahead from the old lady to buy AG gear, 1 month from now (backorder on 50L pot) I'll be making an IPA that deserves the name. Yeehaa

Ya that's just what I was lookin for. Thanks a bunch

Hi, I'm just getting together the final equipment for my first AG brew. I think this one will be it. Now if anyone can help me on this question I'd appreciate it. I've watched a handful of videos but still not quite sure. If I were to batch sparge this recipe, how much water would I mash for...

Ha It is addicting. Alright ima just KCCO for a few weeks. Hopefully she comes down a few. Be happy with 5% so I'm close anyways.

Could I pitch new yeast or just leave her be. I purposely sucked up a little cake from the bottom when I racked. Would that have enough hungry yeasties to keep it goin?

I don't care whether or not secondary is good or bad. Just worried I did it too soon and that this will effect my FG.

Well good enough then. Does that seem a little high for IPA FG? Only be about 4.5% at that. And I only did bout 21 litres too.

Well ****. Read the calendar wrong. Had a SG of 1.020 for 12 hours. Racked to secondary. It had only been goin for 3 1/2 days. Hopefully she gets a lower FG as its an IPA and starting gravity was 1.052. Most all signs of fermentation were over but I was hoping for a little higher ABV.

Update: within 10 hours BIG action. They suggest a 10 gallon primary and now I know why. Lid, sides, airlock all coated with krausen. Looks like its goin into secondary. Just don't like the look of all the krausen dangling over my tasty beer.

Ya im not into the secondary debate, read enough of those for a lifetime. I think I'll keep her in primary. Never had a bad batch yet doing it that way. Thanks all

Hello all, first time poster long time reader. I just put together a Brew House kit this morning. Now usually I do all my fermentation in a primary, 2-4 weeks depending on patience etc. This kit instructs you to rack to secondary after 3-5 days, then leave for a few weeks. My question is...
