Just tried US-05 this a week ago for the same reason. Will check the result in a few more weeks!

Definitely don't bottle it before its done fermenting. You might end up with a nice beer aroma, carpet stains, and broken glass in your storage area (like I do possibly from the same mistake)

I've also heard that clear beer can be an indicator of good brewing practices...

I just stick my autosiphon in and get just enough for the sample tube

A nice guitar

When we say ferment at 70 F, do we mean set the ambient temp to 70? or make sure the wort stays at 70?

The latest BYO, The Wizard says that autolysis is much more of a problem for commercial brewers because the yeast cake is so much larger. It follows that its not nearly as common for homebrewers.

I second the whirlpool suggestion. Its..like.. magic

Same thing happened to me the first time I mashed in my MLT. Started at 155 and ended up at 148 or so. The next time I just put a couple of towels on top and that helped a ton.

Whats up with that? Anyone know anything?

Who else is starting to get tired of Cascade? I'd like to talk about other hop varieties in an APA. I've heard Jamil say that he likes Amarillo for flavoring/aroma. What others have you tried?

Literally? :)

Hefe starting tomorrow

I had the lattitude 48 months ago...

My last batch had the same problem (only my 2nd). I just pour it out into a big cup and then back into a glass before drinking, and i find that it helps bring the carb down a bit. I was close to asking this question earlier today, so I'll be interested in other suggestions

If I have a primary fermenter that has some significant head space, should I be concerned about taking the lid off and introducing oxygen when taking hydrometer readings?

Just watch out for plastic #7 and canned goods (which are lined with bpa)

Absolutely, thanks for clarifying. So, if undermodified malt is pretty rare, can I assume that if I get a white-wheat malt from austinhomebrew.com, for example, that it is well modified?

What I'm hearing now is that regardless of modification, a step mash is a good idea? This would seem to imply that I'm just as likely to make a great beer w/ single infusion with undermodified malt and well modified malts... is that correct?

Ouch!
