Good deal. Looks weird. They are floating around, dancing. Never saw it before as I'm rather new to brewing.

First time using this yeast. Right under the foam... What is that stuff?

When you said you went wide open when lautering, how fast are we talking about? Slower the better, no?

Would dumping the wort into the kettle after collection do anything adverse?

No. .25 Gallons is 32oz. There are 16 oz in a pint. At 0.19 gallons you were still using 24+oz per gallon.

No. You really can't top off like that will all grain. Unlike extract where you have all the sugars condensed in your pot, if you don't collect the sugars from the tun then all you're doing by adding water post boil is lowering your gravity.

I will give it a read when I get to a real computer. I am a bit surprised to hear that people shake 5 gallons of wort in carboys. Isn't that...... Dangerous? Thank you for the reply!

Looking to do my first all grain batch soon. Wondering the best way to aerate the wort post boil if I'm fermenting in a carboy. I have read that people shake the carboy for 5 minutes.... I am assuming that this is with a gallon or so and not the entire batch. Do not want to invest in O2 and...

Count me in!

Found a nice illustrator template and have been tweaking it a bit.

Hey everyone. Just started brewing a couple weeks ago. Signed up for membership as soon as I could. Looking forward to learning about this great hobby!

First POST! For my upcoming batch of Oatmeal Stout I wanted to do a beer label. I found a guide here, and decided to give it a go. You can download the template from my website if you want it. It was done in Illustrator. http://www.eobie.com/web/eobie/OatmealStout.ai Picture is of...
