Yeah, that's the main problem that I have with the under-attenuation. In the Hefeweizen the extra sweetness wasn't bad, but in the IPA and the Kölsch, it should really be pretty dry; the sweetness just doesn't fit the style very well.

I didn't actually write the pitching temps down, but they were all maybe 3-4F higher than the fermentation temps. How would that affect things?

And the Kölsch was very stable at 60F-61F, as it was in our cellar.

For the IPA and Hefeweizen we just shook the carboy, probably for less than five minutes (those things are heavy!!!). But for the Kölsch, we aerated with a diffusion stone for about an hour; it should have been close to the saturation point with oxygen. I will give yeast nutrients a shot on...

So I'm on a trip to CA and have a free day in my schedule. My plan was to head to a brewery or two in the area and sample some of the local brews. I know Anchor Steam is nearby, but wanted to know if there was anything else especially interesting or that I shouldn't miss. I could probably...

So I'm just getting started with homebrewing and have been looking around trying to get the best deals on all of the equipment I need. I just ordered the 32 qt tamale pot (stock pot) linked below and it seems to be a great deal; it was $37 shipped and includes a lid. I thought that I would...

The man is from Buffalo; he knows his wings. @RayInUT - Good to see someone who really takes their wings seriously. Excellent recipe and strikingly similar to my own.
