So I'm Making an IIPA with a starting gravity of 1.090 and am shooting for a Final gravity of about 1.020. My recipes calls for a 9L starter, which I think is incredibly high!. I know if you make a liter starter you can get roughly 100 billion yeast cells if im not mistaken. Also if my maths...

I want to try to make an IPA with extra ingredents I have: 2 gallon batch with 2 gallon boil: 3.3 lbs briess gold LME 1lb 4 oz american 2-row pale 4oz caramel 60L .5 oz columbus (60 mins) .5 oz chinook (45 mins) .5 oz centennial (30 mins) .5 oz cascade (15 mins) 1 oz experimental hops 342...

So im conditioning it a secondary. Im lower the temp slowly to 33 in a kegerator. My ogre was 1.062 my final was 1.014. so lager a min of 6 weeks

I need to know whether or not to lager in a secondary or if i should bottle and lager in the bottle. I want the beer clear, so i should lager in a secondary, rack, then bottle?

My lager is done fermenting and the di-rest is finishing up. What is the next step to my lager. Is it bottle then lager for 2+ months or lager than bottle.

This is my first true lager and i wanted to verify my procedure so i don't ruin my German lager. My lager has been fermenting at about 10° for what will be 4 weeks on Friday. Airlock activity has slowed to about one burp a minute. I planned on doing a Di rest at 22° for 2 days after 4 weeks...

Im doing a back lager and fermentation is still going well after 14 days. When if at all should i do a di-rest. When should i i go ahead and start lagering.

Used 34/70 repudiated and pitched at 70.

I have a five gallon batch of bock beer brewing now and i only have 1 11.5 g dry yeast packet. I thought i had 2 (stupid me didn't check). my beers gravity is expected to be1.060. Will one pack be enough.

I was just getting in the ball park, but will the glass jugs work. I can get 3 put .8 gallons in each. I just didnt know if i could use the the contain as a primary.

I want to start making 2.5 gallon batches of beer and experimenting with recipes. I was wondering if i could use a two 4L glass wine jug as a primary. I don't see an issue but I wanted to get a second (or third) opinion on the matter before I do it.

a lost cause? wont it just take longer to ferment? I mean, the yeast isn't bad. I pitch the yeast (at 29C) and waited to see airlock activity. Once I saw that I brought it down to lager temperature. Since the yeast is viable won't it just take longer to work. I rose the temp to 13C (to see if i...

okay I'll raise the temp to 15C. I have a primary I can't see into, so how can I tell when when enough Kruasen has formed I don't want to open the primary during fermentation if possible. Roughly how long should this take? If i see airlock activity resume is it safe to lower? Thanks!

this is my first time making a lager and I pitched WLP830, didn't use a starter which I have found is my first strike, at 29C. I waited to see airlock activity and began to lager at 10-11C. Since I've dropped the temp I have seen no airlock activity. Is this because I only used one vial of yeast...
