It fermented out to about 1.020. Which considering the fact that because of a crappy thermometer, my mini-mash accidentally boiled i think is a decent FG.

uhhh, and doesn't this recipe need to be mashed? 3# of grain total for a 5 gallon batch? could you provide a link to this recipe?

If anything i say you Need a good homebrew. start it up again. Might i suggest an extremely bitter IPA, i've noticed after a sip of a hoppy beer, i can't smell anything! might make changing diapers and potty training a little easier.

Alot of people have said a lot of different times to leave it in the primary and i want to ask why? I also suggest leaving it in a primary for a few weeks and i think i learned the hard way with my first brew. My understanding is that if you rack early you leave tons of fermentation byproducts...

This is my second batch and i decided to try my hand at a porter. The recipe is on the site somewhere i'll be happy to link it if requested. I've been trying to keep it cool in this 107 degree weather in OK but that's not the problem. Me and some friends brewed it up and i pitched a slurry from...

I've never had a primarily williamette hopped beer so i'm not sure what hops i really want to use. I'm really wondering if i should bother trying to mini-mash the dark malts or if i should just up the extract dose a little to replace fermentables and steep the darks for color. Does the mash...

Haha. i think that's mg. i'll double check

This is a partial mash rendition of the Bert Grant Perfect Porter. The 1# of 2-row i'm sure has plenty of diastatic power to mash the dark malts. It is my first attempt at a recipe and I used Brewsmith to put it all together. Anything glaring that needs change? I'm trying to work my way up to...
