thx for reply pdxal this better? ferment 2 weeks, take hydrometer reading, wait 3 days, take another reading - if no change then taste it & then bottle btw the kit says to do the hydrometer reading thing after only 4-6 days

this is an ipa - not a dry hopped ipa though still havent decided what i will do but maybe this first time i'll: ferment 2 weeks (skip the hydrometer no change for 3 days BS) taste it get a FG reading for ****s and giggles then bottle everyone cool with that? good newbie practice to...

this is what id like to do havent heard a good reason for the other route - though it seems a widely contested option

This is a brewers best india pale ale kit, at this point its been 6 days and the bubbles have ceased

Which is better? 1-Wait for airlock activity to cease, then get 3 days of successive hydrometer reasons with no change AND THEN BOTTLE OR 2-Just let your wort ferment for 2 weeks, don't take any readings, AND THEN BOTTLE Option 1 may take less time Option 2 is less work, less...

well after 3 full days the fermentation has already peaked and is on the way back down...sometime in day 2 it was bubbling every 1 second, now its up to every 3 seconds... very nice aroma coming through the stopper if i put my nose up to it

Yeah - *** the secondary. I'm a man of efficiency. The glass courboy I bought can sit and collect dust. Made a rookie mistake at the 24 hour mark - jumped gun on fermentation worries and stirred wort (didn't sanitize stir stick - it was brand new). Hopefully that didn't infect my batch - is...

Bubble every 2 seconds now at the 40 hour mark - upstairs in 70 degrees bathroom I really wanted this to work in the basement which will bring it down to 64 degrees, not sure if I should move it now or just do this batch upstairs couple other things to figure out: disinfect bottling bottles...

http://homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/88/if-when-to-move-to-secondary-fermentation -read all the arguments here and i really don't know which way to go at this point i don't care about cosmetics of the beer as it will go in a brown bottle and drank that way, if i dry hop then i guess its...

Stirring after 24 hours and Moving Fermenter upstairs (temp went from 64 to 67) helped. Awoke to airlock bubble every 15 seconds. What I question is whether or not any action was really needed. Next kit I get I guess will answer that. _____________ **Do I have the differences between...

dang mang and i thought my usual 2am bedtime was late!

This site rocks - all beer drinkers are up late - happy to help - tomorrow night we shall see! My goal is to become self dependent on all things. Step 1 = beer. Never having to buy beer again, making my own, no taking cans to the redemption center, freedom! Step 99 = Solar power and...

thanks for quick response I'll wait to the 72 hour mark, and check beforehand for bubbles - if no bubbles in airlock, i'll open the cap and check for foam and maybe even get another hydrometer reading. If that reading hasn't changed i'll re-pitch like you said. Does that just mean buy another...

Brewers Best India pale ale 24 hours after adding yeast no bubbles in Airlock thingy. Temperature reading on pale 64 degrees Stirred heavily and moved to slightly warmer area i think Anything else i can do? I bought the kit and left contents in room temp for 3 months - delayed project...

interesting how these types of food reduce prostate cancer, because lower t = less risk for it.

That would be a good field study. Drink 6 pack of hoppy beer, and time how long it takes to "finish" Drink 6 pack of non-hopped beer, maybe some herb beer, and time how long it takes to "finish" Has to be the same chick. Same positions and such. Any takers? I'm married so it takes forever when...

So I have this $1,000 new deep freeze with a fast freeze setting. Right now it is on setting 4 (6 is max aka fast freeze), setting 4 is -10 degrees. Just a guess, my thermometer only does -20, but I'm betting if I put in on the fast freeze setting it will get to -30 degrees or so. How long do...

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/estrogen-beer-135363/ ok so every man of age has heard the wife say no not tonight you will take too long you've been drinking. it seems the hops may be why, damn it that pisses me off. i love hops

My apologies, new to forum, I'm sure this post has been done already. But this worries me. I love hops but I love my T cuz I'm a man. What to do? Sure I get health benefits from hops but is it worth a limp D?

No doubt i love APA's. Something about Schlafly Dry Hopped APA, not that ****ty caramel sweet flavor I've tasted in other APA's. Must be the grains they use or they hop the **** out of it. It's like eating a grapefruit and I love grapefruit. Recently I've become worried about estrogen and...
