thanks for the reply. I'm probably just going to take a gravity reading tonight, and then again on sunday... If it's stable, then I'll go ahead and bottle. I'll let ya know how it turns out!

Hey guys, I plan on bottling my patersbier tonight that has been in the primary for 13 days. I used wyeast 3787 High Grav. Trappist yeast, and an explosive fermentation took off and lasted about 3 days. Most of the krausen has fallen to the bottom of the carboy, but there is still a small...

Lovesick blues. Hank.

Hey all, I brewed an all-grain Ginger wheat last night, and ended up dumping the entire contents of the brew kettle into the fermenter (hops, trub, ginger, etc.). I poured two jars of washed Wyeast 1056 in and placed the fermenter in a swamp cooler which I have kept at about 70 F. It's been...

Cayenne pepper and vinegar. Or tobacco and vinegar. Just clean the hops before use!!!

I have two jars or washed 1056. I'm thinking of pitching both?

Hey guys, I just found out that I don't have to go to work today! This is great because I have a batch of ginger wheat in the works that I can brew today. Problem is that I plan on using washed 1056, which I haven't made a starter for yet. I washed the yeast a week ago, and it has been in...

Looks like krausen to me!

Possibly yeast brought up from the bottom?

Ey guys I'm bottling tonight and am seeing a few light specs on the top I the beer. It's a pale ale fermented around 65 with wyeast 1084, but I took it out of the fermentation chamber after I racked to secondary where temps rose I about 75 degrees. I just carried the beer upstairs so it's a...

Wyeast 1084 is great

Don't fear the bubbles mate.

It's been getting up in the upper 70s lately and I don't want to produce any off flavors. I am using wyeast 1056 in one fermenter and 1084 in the other. Making an American pale ale. Should I just keep the temp up and maybe rouse the yeast?

Hey guys I have 2 beers on their second day of fermentation fermenting in the fridge, and I noticed that the temp had gotten down to 48 F!! I opened the door and kept the temp around 65 after that. Will the yeast continue to ferment? Or are they going to be stuck in dormancy? Thanks!

Hey guys I just finished up a 10 gal batch of pale ale, and my landlord said that I could use his outdoor fridge for fermentation. I cleaned it out and took the shelves out. I also unplugged it to heat it up (it was 34F degrees in there). After the brew sesh, I put both fermeters in the...

I plan on using 17-18 lbs of grain for a pale ale... I plan to mash BIAB with 7-8 gal of h2o, then sparge in 2-4 gal of h20 to get the highest efficiency possible. I'm also going to up the bittering hops because of poor utilization. Then I'll top off in the fermenter. Does that sound about right?

or what about adding light DME if the efficiency is poor?

I see. I'm brewing BIAB, so what if I sparged the bag to get better efficiency?

what about trying a partial boil?
