Is that picture of the Star Gazer? This is the beer that inspired me to post the question. The K97 made a nice yeast deposit on the top of my fermentation chamber and the lid of my big mouth bubbler had it's own yeast cake on top of the fermenter!

I was supposed to add nutrient in this wine kit between 1.050 and 1.040, it is currently at 1.020(It's a chardonnay). The yeast is EC-1118 so I feel it most likely does not need the nutrient. No rhino fart smell coming from must either so I assume the yeast is happy. So do I add the nutrient, or...

I was thinking D47, too bad I used my last pack a few months back. Ended up going with the EC-1118 after the SO verified she like really dry wine(I fell victim to the 50-50-90 rule, with a 50-50 shot of picking the right option I have a 90% chance of getting it wrong!). Thanks for the advice...

As the title states, which yeast would be better for a chardonnay? The EC-1118 came with the kit, but from past experience it seems to strip a lot of the flavors away and go very dry, at least when I have used it on ciders. I also have 71B on hand which I have been using for my homemade fruit...

Thanks for putting this together! I copied and modified the list to add the other entries and added it to the end of my first post on this thread.

For quite a while us-05 has been my go to yeast, I get a 2-3 inch krausen, it falls, then that is it. I decided to start trying different yeasts and the last 2 (Juice and K-97) decided that my 1.25 gallons of extra head space in the fermenter was not enough and blew through the airlock. Is there...

Awesome! Maybe one day I'll upgrade the fermentation chamber to a larger capacity one like yours!

2652 + 5 Gallons of Star Gazer Hazy DIPA for AHA Big Brew day =2657

Breakfast fatty, I'm jealous!

As the title mentions, if you are planning on participating, what are you planning on brewing? This is my first year participating (I didn't know about this before) and I am interested to know what will be brewed by the members here. I'm doing the Star Gazer. Anyways, happy Thursday everyone...

The krausen dropped yesterday and my Tripel is now hanging in my 5 gallon carboy. My large carboy is now ready for the big brew day on May 1st!

2382.7 + 5 gallons Kiwi Express Pale Ale =2387.7 gallons

Basically since the instructions called for it, and I wanted to see what the deal with using a secondary is, figured this was the beer to try it on. Also I need the larger carboy for an upcoming brew, so I figure since headspace won't be an issue I can age the beer in my empty 5 gallon carboy.

I figure I'll wait another week and check the gravity then, another week in primary shouldn't hurt. Thanks!

Thanks! I have my next brew warming up to boil as I write this so either way this one was going to get taken out of the fermentation chamber. I'll give it another week before I worry about checking gravity.

Greetings and happy Saturday everyone! I normally don't do a secondary, but this is a big beer (Tripel IPA at 1.084SG) and the instructions call to secondary for four weeks after two weeks in primary. My first attempt at this style as well. Well we are at 2 weeks and the krausen is still crazy...

It looks like I had somehow over-carbonated the keg, though it poured fine at first. I have let the pressure off and it has been pouring better. I'll keep the tips listed in mind. Thanks!

Greetings everyone! Looking for some advice, last night I tapped a keg and it was pouring fine, then the other keg in my kegerator kicked, so I swapped the co2 and beverage lines from the empty to keg to the new keg. (I have one tap for beer and the other is generally cider). After I swapped the...
