It's starting to settle on the bottom, how many centimeters of yeast should i have ? 2,7 liters of starter, 2 packs of yeast, in a 3 liters Erlenmeyer glass. thanks this is how it looks after 24 hours in refrigerator, during the "fermentation" it didnt make any foam, so im wondering if it...

this is how it looks after 22 hours edit: after 30 hours still no krausen, i decided to put it in refrigerator, i hope it fermented, and will decant good. hopefully tomorrow i can brew.

Thanks ! I have read How to brew online book and Brew like a monk.

actually i just found the bag: it was muntons enhancer. so it still has 50% malt extract

i added about about 260 grams of dark dme and only about 40 grams of maltodextrin.... and 2.6-2.7 liters of wort (without the yeast which is 250 ml)

As you see my starter is dark, i dindnt want to open a white DME also i added a little of maltodextrin (didnt had enought dark DME), is that ok ? will i be able to see the fermentation and the yeast ? thx

when should i notice signs of activity in my starter ? thanks

how do you know ? i did a 2.7 liters starter, using 2 packs of wyeast yeast

After 20 hours they are the same, just a little swelled... it was a little cold in the room 20-21 degrees celsius Uptade: i decided to make the starter, now it's on the stir plate, i cut the packages, inside there were 2 little bags, only 1 of them was broken, the one that wasn't broken i took...

it started to swell a little ! it was difficult to break both packs, but maybe because its my first time. i think i will do the starter tomorrow.

Should i leave the packs until tomorrow ? Or can i prepare the starter tonight ? Thanks !

I smacked my yeast packs, after 2 hours the packs didnt swell ! What this means ?

I tried to make again 1 darker batch, but i got burnt sugar, i will throw it and use the previous batch.

Tomorrow ill make the starter. I ordered a 3000 ml Erlenmeyer glass, tomorrow i will get it, meanwhile a friend did a Stir Plate for me, and i tested it with a big jar with 3 liters of water and flour (to emulate the yeast). Is it ok ? is it stirring well ? Inside the bar i have a metallic...

Hello. I ordered a 3000 ml Erlenmeyer glass, tomorrow i will get it, meanwhile a friend did a Stir Plate for me, and i tested it with a big jar with 3 liters of water and flour (to emulate the yeast). Is it ok ? is it stirring well ? Inside the bar i have a metallic bar (i will attach a photo)...

Thanks again everyone for the fast answers. Tomorrow i will try to do it more darker, anyway i want my dubbel lighter in color, also i use in it chocolate and biscuit malts, so maybe this lighter syrup would be good. I have put it in refrigerator and it started to crystalize a little it is normal ?

Thanks. So would be safe to use it ? Would it be fermentable or should i use dark candy rocks that i have as a plan B ? Tomorrow i will try to make 1 more batch, as i got a thermometer and i can control more the temperature. Should i use again white sugar (Refined) or should i try with a raw...

Thanks, for taking it out from the jar, i was thinking at the same method. I have put it in the refrigerator, its not so thick, its medium bodied i think. But im curious if i have candi syrup or just caramel syrup ?
