Ok thanks again ! Will keep you updated. I smacked the pack now. Next days im goind it.

Yes i know, but will it be a big difference if i make it 1043 ? Would help me a lot ! I think i should have, my Erlenmeyer its 2.5 liters, but after the 2.5 liters line there is a big space. (last time i did a 2.6-2.7 liters starter using 2 packs of same yeast, but i didn't make any krausen). I...

Ok thanks, so i will not add extra yeast. I'm preparing the starter, i have 1 pack of wyeast 1762 produced on 23 November. I will brew 2 beers of 1100 and 1105 OG, and 2,5 gallons each batch (9,5 liters each batch) , if i make a starter of 1045 gravity and 2,5 - 2,6 liters, will it be enough to...

Ok. Thanks. So i shouldn't add dried yeast after 2nd fermentation, but just leave it 3-4 weeks instead of 2 weeks for the bottle fermentation ? Still I'm afraid that because I'm going to do a 2nd fermentation I'm going to loose even more yeast (in my dubble and tripel is already a thin layer of...

Yes, and i replied you

it's cane sugar (don't know if there is a difference in terms of fermentation), so you are saying i have to use even less priming sugar ? if my calculations are correct, i should use 7 grams / liter. the dubbel and tripel had 8 and 8.5 abv, so should be no problem with Wyeast 1762 which has...

Hello. I have a question. Some months ago i did a dubbel and a tripe. I used 8.5 grams of priming sugar per liter of beer, and both came under-carbonated, especially the dubbel (even if i used same amount of priming sugar for both), the yeast was a liquid yeast that was almost expired, but i...

Hello. Happy new year. Im planing to brew 2 new beers, one Imperial IPA dry hopped and using in it dried apricots and one Imperial Stout using oak chips soaked in bourbon + vanilla and other condiments. I had the recipes before and i wanted to use wheat for head and body, for the IIPA i want to...

ok thanks, so i dont modify the hops amount, what happens if in the boil i have just water, wort from partial mash and hops and i add all the extract at the flameout ?

So i know if you dont put all the malt from the beginning, you have to put less hops for bittering, is it true or not ?

thats how the calculator shows me http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/calculator/ try do a recipe and modify the extract to be late addition instead from the beginning thanks ! maybe when it will clarify more will look even better

hello, i made a batch of tripel, it came darker than i expected. i made it using DME and some grains (abbey, carapils, biscuit and wheat), it should be around 7-8 SRM, but it seems a lot darker. the dme was added in the boil for 60 mins, if i add the DME in the last 10 mins instead of 60 mins...

after all it went good ! the starter had a FG of 1008 (initial was 1040), i brewed the dubbel today, already after 4 hours it shows signs that its starting to ferment. tomorrow ill brew the tripel. i will keep you updated how the attenuation will go thanks everyone for the help !

after few hours in the refrigerator

here it how is looking now: www.escapismmusique.ro/P1190094.MOV it has 36 hours on stir plate, but maybe 30 since fermentation started.

i think i have some good news, i moved the stir plate in my room, which is warmer (21-22 degrees celsius), also i put a towel on the erlenmeyer glass, to keep it a little warmer. i starter the stir plate ast night around 2-3 a clock, and now it has a little foam, and its bubbling a lot.

ok. should i decant it and make a new starter with light dme ? Or use the same starter ? if i use the same starter, can i put it direct from fridge to the stir plate and let it get to room temperature on the stir plate ?

i just did a reading, and tbh is not looking good. 1039-1040 gravity. what can i do ? what did i do wrong ? or the yeast was dead ?

ok, tomorrow i will use a sanitized funnel to pour some wort into my test tube and take a reading, will let you know. thanks

Thanks so much for your opinion. Tomorrow i will brew the beers and try to pitch it, hope it will ferment the beer. It looks like its still flocculating to the bottom.
