Irish Car Bomb Stout

I don't know why my text didnt show up in the last post. But I wanted to say...this has been aged for about a month and it's absolutely delicious. I'm having a party Saturday for St Pattys and I'm sure this is going to be gone in no time.

Train wreck

Well I just re-pitched the yeast. I dumped the wort into a new (sanitized) bucket and topped it up to about 5.25 gallons with 66 deg. purified water, aerated as much as I possibly could, and re-pitched 2 packets of rehydrated US-05. Right now she's bubblin' away so I'll continue to watch and...

Thanks TANSTAAFB. I initially pitched 1 packet of rehydrated US-05. I'm going to grab 2 additional packs today, top off my wort to 5 gallons, aerate as much as possible, and re-pitch. If this works, I shall call it "Resurrection Pale Ale". I'll post back with results.

I'm pretty new to brewing and this is my first time posting a question. So far I've been pretty successful brewing DME with specialty grains. Last night I decided to brew 2.5 gallons of an IPA I put together on beersmith. It was supposed to get 5 lb. of light DME (2 lb. at beginning of boil...

This is my first time posting on here and this was my second brew. I'm drinking one right now as of 1.5 weeks after bottling and it's already delicious! It's not fully carbonated yet but I'm hoping by St. Pattys it will be good enough to serve. Thank you all for the input.
