Sweet. Looks like I hit my OG then! Thanks guys

After 6 successful extract batches I brewed my first all grain batch. I was fired up when I took a hydrometer and hit my OG. Now that I think about it there was a bunch of trub/crap in my tube when I took my reading. Now I'm thinking my OG and efficiency was off due to the gunk floating. Is...

Fantastic! I was always under the assumption that the sparge water needed to be held at a higher temperature. Thanks

Folks, I'm about to delve into all grain and had some gear questions. I'm gonna build a mash latter and already have a good 10 gallon kettle. Questions are the following 1. What size kettle do I need to heat enough sparge water. Keep in mind I only plan on 5 gallon batches. 1. How do I...

Thanks man. I've brewed their Pliny kit 3 times I love it but just a little too bitter for me. Morebeer is great. Definitely going to get the M-80 thanks.

Fellow Brewers. Looking for a Juicy East Coast IPA kit. Something like Heady, SOS, Jailai. Low malt profile with tons of juicy citrusy goodness. Any suggestions?

Did you taste during bottling? The spice potion was very overwhelming. Hope it mellows with age. It was still pretty good though.

the fruits of my labor!

I couldn't wait. Took my first gravity reading 9 days into fermentation. The beer was more brown than black but it was delicious! Taking my next gravity reading Sunday.

Dupe

Thanks for feedback. This is my 3rd 5 gallon batch and I bug out all the time. They've all gone well so not sure why i do. I'll do my first gravity reading on day 10.

Nice! After an extremely vigorous 48 hours of fermentation the Krausen is gone and no bubbling. Did you have the same experience?

Krausen was almost at the top of the fermenter this morning

S-33 two packs re-hydrated.

Just brewed this today 8 hours later fermentation is extremely active. Probably the best start I've ever had. Look at that Krausen!

I have this kit on the way. So fired up. Did you use all of the priming sugar? 5 oz seems like a lot for a stout IMO. Sounds like all is going well

I have it and love it. Only 2 brews so far but so far so good. My only complaint is when filling my hydrometer tube you have to take off the air lock or my starsan gets sucked in.

You're probably fine. I've made almost every mistake possible and always made pretty good beer.

On this board I hear a lot about the benefits of a full boil. Specially for the purpose of hop utilization. If brewing a stout or any hop light beer is there any advantage to a full boil? The reason I ask it it's much easier and quicker to bring wort to pitch temperature when adding to chilled...

Thanks. Never done a full boil before. If I'm short can I top off or will that crush my og
