Just for future knowledge Alkalinity refers to PH as well anything north of a ph pf 7 is considered alkaline below 7 acidic.

Beauty of Org chem and Micro Bio. more to it than just the gravity of the sample's

So let me get this strait to scooped of the krausen in the primary fermentation vessel. if you did this... dont ever do it again. if not let it be. Wouldn't worry about the drop in temp, just leave it be. Let it sit for at least a week. then check the gravity if your that concerned. more...

If you seen nothing by day 3 I would start getting suspicious. Also don't worry about the babby poop looking stuff that will be floating on top. I love brown ales and have a few good recipes that I can brew from grain to glass in 5 days(taste great by day 11) Your ferm temp sounds a little high...

It;s only a good deal if you brew with it. But, like the rest of us you'll soon find yourself wanting more, brewing more. Next thing you know you've got a room dedicated to the hobby and 60 gallons of beer either fermenting, aging, bottled or kegged and im preety much the only one that drinks...

I think he just keeps adding junk to make us wonder:drunk:

I do mine 2 days out and always get a healthy starter but for this small a beer honestly you can pitch right in whatever yeast your using. give it a day and it should be fermenting like a champ.

after 2.5 days it looks like the monster is slowing down instead of a stream of bubbles there's only 1-2 per second, the pale ale however is gearing up with a nice krust on top forming.

shouldn't matter just take longer to ferment. As far as the bitterness it could be a number of things with out being able to taste it we cant help to much.

i'll be brewing this next weekend already brewed my ten gallons for this weekend. I lived 4 hour south of sweetwater for 20 years. love the beer and love trying to clone it. we'll be headed back down south and haft to fly out of Atlanta. will for sure be stopping by the brewery. GG for Alaska

Those would be wipes we cloth Diaper all the way but the boxes are handy. well at 2 am I moved it to the tub, thank god at 2:30am @ 65F it blew the airlock out and crap went all over the shower. It's now 11 am and I still cant keep an airlock on it, but threr's a foamy mess covering the top...

Worst case I'll let it run it's course then rack it onto the 05 the pale ale second running are on now. Same hops just a lot less so shouldn't muck with the flavor much. here it is now 10:44 my time Picture of my ghetto brew day

All finished up, I was worried the us-04 yeast couldnt handle the 1.116 but a huge starter and it's bubbling away 3 hours after it was put in. To the point im almost worried to go to sleep. the second running were used to brew a pale ale with similar hop schedule as the barlwywine. I don't...

WEll it's official aarons brew day has started. I decided on doibling all the hop additions to bring up the AA's this still keeps me in the style guidelines according to beersmith so hopefully it's some what drinkable in six months. After reading some of the post regarding barley wines...

Brewed 5 gallons of this, tasted it and it was not near sweet enough for me. I added 2lbs dark brown sugar(boiled it first in a little water). and after stupidly adding hot liquid to cold carbonated cold liquid watched as I lost about liter on the garage floor before I could get the lid back on...

Planning on kegging to carb then bottling from there to 22 oz bottles MASH AT 154F with exspected initall volume of about 6.74 gallons final volume of 5.5 gallons

So I bought a couple kegs and some other junk and it came with two INART red handle bottle cappers. Thoughts on age? This is the rougher looking of the two. I crimped one of the caps that came with the stuff and heres what it looks like on a 22 oz bottle. Having never bottled a batch...

Considering they are still making brand new ball lock kegs I doubt it.

Immersion chiller, cheap and easy to make. less risk of nasties. and if your going to add water after the boil, stick with bottled water. Oh, and I get from boiling to 65f in about 15mn flat but I live in AK where the water is darn cold from the tap.
