Thanks guys good stuff, with a nice explanation

TG, I read a book, thats what Dave Miller called it, I kinda like it.

Don, "at 5 minutes" does that mean 5 minutes in or 5 minutes left?

WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast is the yeast I used

Just a follow up, the OG was 1.060 is currently 1.016, its fairly clear, smells great, and yea the sample was tasty. A few more days and into the bottles. Beer happens, its wonderful.

I have an irish red in the final stage of fermenting, gravity went from 1.060 down to 1.016, first reading. Whirlfloc was part of the recipe and I have to admit the beer looks good. With whirlfloc do any of you still cold break? The beer looks good, Killashandra Red from Brewers Apprentice...

I've seen a few threads asking for help on a brew and the reply is, take a reading we can tell a lot from your hydrometer reading. So as a noob what all can you tell from a reading? I get the SG and the TG for ABV and the fact you can tell whether your fermentation is done, anything else...

My wife was quite happy I wasn't getting 2 more beer glasses. I have more beer glasses then any other glasses, combined, as it should be.

I learned that all capable bottles aren't the same. I was saving Dos Equis bottles then a friend pointed out the collar. Its very close to the rim and may not cap as easy. I've moved on to Sam Adams.

Tampa, I recently made that beer, about 12 bottles left. I hit 1.010 FG. Its a drinkable beer. I learned a lot brewing it, enjoy.

I was post #6 and got my NO GLASSES FOR YOU! email It's clear that everyone is excited for St. Patrick's Day! Our "Get Your St. Pat's Pints" glassware offer was a big hit. In the last few days, we saw a lot of unexpected and unusual activity surrounding the promotion and we went through our...

worked fine, on their way, thanks

thanks duboman, thats what I figure, its all learning, a process.

After reading these replies, I'm a bit aggravated with my HBS and the lousy advice, will the large amount of DME I used affect the finished product? A screw up? I think my next batch is going to be a simple wheat beer, I have a lot to learn.

so you won't be using as much DME? in 800 ml? One question runs into two more.

so my LHBS may have been a little short on directions

Revvy I bottled on 1/29 its been at 64-66 degrees. In the fridge for 2 days. The first couple I opened were nice, had carbonation that was fine. My OG was 1.045 FG 1.010 I used 3/4 cup priming sugar And yes i am certain the caps are raised. Will be checking revvy's bottle sticky

anti foam in the yeast starter and a bonus lesson, priming sugar needs more attention, over carbed sucks

Racking to the bottling bucket will get more attention next time. I just took a swig of the over carbed from the bottle, holy...talk about a fizzy dance in your mouth. Learning.

This is the second of two bottles I opened. I grabbed them because as I checked the bottles I could see the caps were raised, photo. It was apparent they were over carbed and the pressure was popping the top. When I prepped for racking I dumped the priming mix into the bottom of the bottling...
