I'd sure like to hear about techniques of getting the FG to finish lower! I've had a few big beer batches that have finished .008-.01 above where it should.

right on....thanks all

Dry hopping works!

So I'm starting to think I screwed up on taking my OG. Are you suggesting that the only way I can avoid taking a diluted sample is by stirring the wort? Should I stir the wort at all stages of testing? Also just out of curiosity, how did you calculate the OG?

To clarify, I'm using Amber LME

That's what I was thinking getting a 1.080 OG. That's what the guy at the brew shop said I'd get too. My hydrometer is accurate, I just measured water at 60 *F and and got 1.0. 60*F is the temp I do all my testing at. The airlock has been releasing gas. Also, I just rolled my fermenter around...

I got lazy and decided to do a basic beer 12 lbs Amber ME 2 oz Cascade Hops Super High Gravity Yeast WLP 099 (I thought I was gonna get a higher OG) My OG was 1.055. I did everything like I always have done. It's been fermenting at about 64-68 *F. Everything was sanitized......blah blah...

ours took a lot of thinking.......J&J Brewing.....for Jake and Jay.....impressive, huh

Cornacopia, I think i've heard of that place. One of my co workers was talking about a place like that. I'm gonna have to hit it up.

cool.....i'd be up for making the drive. keep me posted....

i'm on my 5th batch. first 3 were extract, the latest 2 are PM. I love the taste of the grain, and I agree with people when they say it's more fun. Adds more of a challenge and a lot of more options to the whole process. The more I read about AG the more I want to switch to it. Once I get my...

All this sounds cool.....How big of an event are you talking about? I'm always down for learning new techniques in home brew so I'd be cool with watching others brew. I would defiantly be bringing some my beer.

No kidding.....sure is a small world.

I just got done with the primary of a 1.060 IPA in a food grade bucket with an "S" style airlock and I didn't have any problems. Is a good general rule the higher the OG the larger the blow off above a certain gravity?

Greetings from Lebanon........out in the sticks......

Wow, all the bottle bums in Oregon would go nuts over that stockpile of nickels......lol

Mmmm.... so dark.

Just added some of the hops

what is dry hopping. I've been looking at various IPA recipes and a lot of them call for it. Thanks......
