Thanks. At the end I just added 10oz of honey (good local one). Will see how it comes. Thanks.

Got this Pacifico clone with 6.75lbs 2-row, 1lb flake maze and 1lb rice syrup. LHBS forgot to give me the rice syrup :-( Brewing now. I have white confection sugar and white sugar. Can I use that instead? Thanks.

Super cloudy but overall looks normal to me. I had many beers that looked like milk and then completely cleared after two weeks.

I say all is ok. I had two or three yeast do that. First time I freaked some like you. All beers came out great.

I have a fridge just like that. Good to know for the future.

3 week average for my 43 brews.

My Dudda Diesel plate chiller cools from 210F to 3 deg above water temp in 3 minutes up to 50s water temp. No problems cleaning or sanitazing. I think nothing will be quicker. No matter what it is less than 8min here in Michigan.

This. I think it is a bargain. I have done 43 brews. All grain takes me about 5hrs but I have a lot to clean. Love this thing. I brew 2-4 beers per month in my basement.

Dump it.

42 brews. Oxygenate with O2 wand 30-45sec. Pitch yeast (dry, wyeast,, Notinghsm, white labs, etc) and in 15 to 30 hrs I get krausen start. Most times around 20hrs.

I searched for recipes for white stouts without good results. Brewed an extract kit from Briess that was ok. Still looking.

Heating is a lot easier and cheaper than cooling. Get an Inkbird and a heat mat and you can ferment at whatever temp you want. About $50 investment.

I keg since I started brewing. After 40 brews I always try to do 18-21 days minimum. Once I keged at 14 for a Marzen due to a trip and was perfect. But it may not work for all. Patience will produce great beer.

I agree with this and that excessive sampling is common to new brewers. I used to open my carboys for samples after 7-10 days. But for people that bottle I guess I would want to know quicker when I can move to the next step. But yes, if you have multiple batches you can just ignore sampling. All...

Glad I'm not the only one thinking why risk a beer for $6....

Well, since this is a first to me maybe I'm over reacting. I have my process pretty well define by now so was thrown off by this problem. The wort I think tasted normal and got the proper OG. Will see in 3-4 weeks.

My crushed gap was a little off and went to adjust it to 0.043. Usually I use 0.048 o my Mash & Boil. When I crushed it the grain looked a little too mush. When I started to recirculate it started to have problems. Anyway, the mash went ok and sparge was slower but got the volume and pre-boil...

A good long cold crash and gelatin can do wonders.

Yeah power up phone and it should connect and keep on. That’s how my android works. If you are careful you can merge both sheets.

Yeah. Bragging about how clear my beer came out. Just to make the guy feel great. To OP, just wait and it should be better.
