By some aligning of the stars and planets, I had a beer finish 5 days after pitching the yeast. Gravity was spot on, yeast dropped out and I kegged on day 6. It was a recipe I had brewed 3 times before and it tasted no different than the others. I'm with Spring, crash it and keg it. That...

I'm in SNH. I'm down if this happens.

I have a recipe, which I go from grain to glass in about 2 weeks. It's a 3.5% light bodied, moderately hopped summer ale. There's another recipe that takes me 6+ weeks before I even think about kegging it. Everything depends on what you like. I don't have to rush my yeast and I want my...

Update: a family member tossed all the beer into the fridge. No go on the Heady, for now.

I have 2 four packs of heady that I'm looking to swap. I'm looking for, but not limited to hard to find stouts, Russian River beers...message me with what you have. Looking for approx. equal value.

The beer is kegged and has been carbonating for the last 3 weeks. When I was talking about aeration, I meant at the time of pitching yeast, not at any time after that. Sorry for how contriteness the initial post was...I was at work and only had a couple seconds. Here's the recipe: 11# maris...

13393.5 + 5 gallon Black Imperial Stout = 13398.5 gallons Just kegged it a couple weeks back.

I recently brewed up an imperial stout. OG was 1.076 and my anticipated FG was 1.012. My yeast stopped stone cold at 1.024 and I have not been able to increase any activity with heat, agitation or yeast nutient. Here's the question: how likely is it that the addition of oxygen to my wort...

3 big things that I have noticed with my english style beers, when brewing 5 years ago and now. 1. Fermentation temps for particular english style yeasts need to be maintained. That can be said about a lot of yeasts, but I've found you have to very honest with temp control. 2. Water...

In down like a clown.

Thanks for the responses. I've briefly read through most of them, and most of the links. I appreciate the sourcing all of you are helping me with. I think, for simplicity reasons, I would likely stick with an electric system vs. propane. Yes I have a burner but I don't like having pick up...

I ended up kegging both buckets, today. I placed 4.5 gallons of big beer in a keg, saving 1/2 gallon to mix with the smaller beer. This made for 3.5 gallons of "small" beer. No matter what, I have beer. And I will drink it and distribute it to friends and family, proudly. It may not be the...

I currently brew on a single propane burner, using my 10 gallon pot. I produce solid 5 gallon batches, but I would like to make more beer in one sitting. I'm look at upgrading my fermenting vessel to a Speidel ferm unit and a 15 gallon boil pot. Since I want to make 10 gallon batches, I am...

9090.5 gallons + 10 gallons Brown Ale +8 gallons ESB = 9108.5 gallons.

Big beer is at 1.016 now. I'm happy with that. The small beer is at 1.018. I'm not unhappy about this. I'll let them finish up the last 5 days of fermentation in the pantry. Temps dropped in New Hampshire over the last 3 days so ambient temp will be around 69-70F.

Thanks for the insightful responses. This is the kind of info I am looking for. I mashed at 148, which dropped to 145 by the end of my 60 minute mash. I wanted a wort that was highly fermentable...my beer store guy informed me of the possible low attenuation as well. The wort was/has...

Good evening. I recently brewed up a batch of an ESB using Wyeast1968 2 weeks ago. 15 lbs pale 2 row 1 lb white wheat 8 oz C90 Boiled for an hour, with a couple doses of hops (1 oz at 60 min and 2 oz at flameout). I cooled the wort in an ice bath and had temps down to 74 degrees...

I lagered in my keg after 3 weeks in the primary. I reached my terminal gravity and transferred to keg. After 10 days, I gave it a rest at 60F for about 4 days before tossing it back into the chill chest at 50F for another week. My gravity was happy where it was and I transferred and have...

8505.5 + 5 gallons IPA +5.5 gallons Vienna Lager + 5 gallons Saison= 8521.0 gallons.

Bumping this thread. Brewing this on Thursday 8.24-17. This will be the 8th time I've brewed this beer. Anybody interested in a not so complicated saison, this is a solid beer to keep bottled or on tap. It's drinkable and shareable...most people are happy to have it. Enjoy.
